III - Safety instructions
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY
MOWERS
•
•
•
•
Inspect and maintain the mower regularly. Have the
mower repaired only by an authorised repairer.
If power cord is damaged, only have it repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Check that all grass cuttings and dirt have been
removed from the ventilation vents.
WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
•
Only use this Lawn Mower when a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than
30mA is in the circuit.
•
If an extension cord is used make sure it is for outdoor
use and marked as such. The recommended size
of extension cord is not lighter than 1.5mm2 and a
maximum of 10 metres in length.
When not in use, store the mower out of the reach of
children and infirm people.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
Completely uncoil your extension cable before use
to prevent overheating and loss of mower efficiency.
When tidying away the cable, wind it carefully to avoid
kinking.
WARNING. In order to reduce the risk, disconnect the
plug from the supply power, only use recommended
accessories as required, otherwise personal injury may
result.
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
WARNING. After switching off the machine, the cutting
blade continues to rotate for a few more seconds.
•
Do not use the machine to cut grass which is not on
the ground. For example, do not cut grass which is on
rocks.
Do not switch on the machine in enclosed or poorly
ventilated spaces or in the presence of inflammable
and/or explosive substances such as liquids, gasses
and powders.
Always stop the mower and switch off at the mains
when cutting is delayed, emptying the grass box or
when walking from one cutting location to another.
Do not cross roads or gravel paths with the machine
still running.
Do not move the machine by pulling on the electrical
cable. Always use the handgrip.
Keep a balanced and stable stance while using the
machine.
Ensure that the area being cut is free from strings,
stones and debris. Remove any objects that could be
thrown during cutting or could wind around the cutting
mechanism.
If you hit or become entangled with a foreign object,
stop the motor and disconnect from the mains
immediately to check for damage. Repair any damage
before further operation is attempted. Do not operate
the mower with loose or damaged parts.
Do not cut against hard objects. This could cause
injury to the operator and damage to the machine.
Keep your hands, face and feet away from all moving
parts.
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different form
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•
Frequently inspect the condition of the cutting blades.
Damaged blades must be replaced immediately. Blunt
blades should be sharpened. Follow all the required
precautions when replacing the blades.
Before use check the supply and extension cord
for signs of damage or ageing. If the cord becomes
damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the
supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY.
Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged or
worn.
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and proper use of the equipment.
Keep extension cord away from cutting blades.
Wear eye and ear protection. Wear dust protection
if the mowing action causes the raising of dust or
particles.
•
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
•
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Never allow children, infirm people or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the rotary
collect mower.
•
•
Avoid using the mower, while people, especially
children and the infirm, or pets are nearby.
Use the mower only in daylight or good artificial light.
Do not operate the mower unless the grass box is in
place.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Never operate the mower with a damaged base.
Never operate the appliance with defective guards
or shields, or without safety devices, for example
deflectors and/or grass catcher, in place.
When starting up and when the machine is in
operation, keep the cutting section away from all parts
of the body, especially the hands and feet.
Do not start the machine when it is not in the operating
position.
•
•
If possible, avoid cutting wet grass.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
Exercise proper caution when mowing on sloping
ground. Watch your footing and wear non-slip
footwear. Mow along the slope not up and down it. Do
not mow on steep slopes. Be especially cautious when
changing direction on slopes – stand above the mower
to avoid risk of injury.
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
•
•
•
5) SERVICE
•
Never operate the mower barefoot or when wearing
open sandals or canvas shoes.
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair personnel using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for loose or damaged
parts before each use. Do not use the unit until
adjustments or repairs are made.
•
•
Do not mow by pulling the machine towards you.
When mowing, keep the cable away from the mower.
Your direction of work should be away from the power
point. Mow in straight lines, not in circles.
Always keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
When the machine is not in use, store it in a dry, and
high or locked-up place, out of reach of children.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
After use, disconnect the machine from the power
supply and check for damage. If you have the slightest
doubts, check with an authorised service centre.
Only use the machine according to the instructions
given in this manual.
•
•
•
Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
replacement parts and accessories.
Always disconnect the mower from the mains when
leaving it unattended.
Switch the motor off and pull out the plug when the
machine is not being used, being cleaned, being
moved from one place to another or when the blades
are being changed or adjusted.
•
•
•
•
•
