Safety rules for petrol lawn mowers
Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the
controls and proper use of the equipment.
• Only use the lawn mower for the purpose for which it was
designed, i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any other
use can be hazardous, causing damage to the machine.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the lawn mower. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
• Never use the lawn mower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that
can affect his ability to react and concentrate.
• Remember that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people
or their property.
Preparation
• While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot
or wearing open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment 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.)
• WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly flammable:
– 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 spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has
evaporated and the vapour dispersed.
– Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.
• Substitute faulty silencers.
• Before use, always inspect the machine, 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.
• Discharge openings must be guarded at all times. Do not
remove the discharge guard or hold it up while mowing.
• It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when
operating the mower.
Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
• If possible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
