Preparation Safety

1. While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers. Do not

operate the lawnmower when bare foot or wearing open sandals. Avoid

loose clothing that may snag on moving parts.

2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and remove all

objects which may be thrown by the machine or damage the cutter assembly and

the engine (stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc).

3. WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly inflammable:

• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose;

• Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only – do not smoke while

refuelling or whenever handling the fuel;

• Add fuel before starting the engine – never remove the cap of the fuel

tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot;

• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine

away from the area of the spillage and avoid creating any source of

ignition until the fuel has evaporated and the vapour has dispersed;

• Replace all fuel tanks’ and retainers’ caps securely.

4. Substitute faulty silencers. Never use the lawnmower without a silencer.

5. Before use, always inspect the lawnmower, especially the condition of the

blades, and check that the screws and cutting assembly are not worn or

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and screws in sets to preserve

balance.

6. Before mowing, attach the discharge opening guards (grass-catcher or stoneguard).
