SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS

•

ersonal protection

ARNING! You must use personal protection

whenever you use the machine.

Gloves must be worn when required, for example when ﬁtting, inspecting or cleaning cutting attachments.

• Always wear heavy, long pants. Do not wear shorts, sandals or go barefoot.

• Wear sturdy, non-slip boots or shoes.

Generally clothes should be close-ﬁtting without restricting your freedom of movement.

Mac hine ′ s safety equipment

This section descr ibes the machine ′ s safety equipment, its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.

ARNING! Never use a machine that has

faulty safety equipment! Carry out the

inspection, maintenance and service routines listed in this section.

ARNING! The mufﬂer gets very hot in use

and remains so for a short time afterwards.

Do not touch the mufﬂer if it is hot!

• Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

• Check that the mufﬂer is securely attached and not damaged.

Cutting equipment

Mak e sure the blades do not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. This can make the blades dull and bend the engine shaft. Always ensure the blades are well ground and balanced correctly. See also instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Check the cutting attachment. Never use blunt, cracked or damaged equipment. Damage blades and worn bolts are major hazards.

Also check that the blade bolts are undamaged and that the engine shaft is not bent.

Engine stop

The engine is s witched off by moving the throttle control to the stop position.

STO

Mufﬂ er

The m ufﬂer is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.

ARNING! The exhaust fumes from the

engine are hot and may contain sparks which

can start a ﬁre. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of ﬁres. These areas are sometimes controlled by legislation and requirements that among other things the mufﬂer must be equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.

For mufﬂers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.

ARNING! Never use a machine with faulty

safety equipment. The machine’s safety

equipment must be checked and maintained as described in this section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your service agent to get it repaired.

General saf ety precautions

Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine.

• Know your controls. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in any emergency

• Never mow while barefoot or wearing open sandals, or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes.

• Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris. They could be thrown by the blade.

• Stop the engine and disconnect spark plug wire before clearing blockages, checking or working on the mower.

• Before using, always visually inspect to see that blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

AMAGED BLADES AND WORN BOLTS ARE MAJOR HAZARDS.
