Do not attempt to operate this mower until you have read thoroughly and understood completely all instructions, safety rules, etc., contained in this manual. Failure to comply may result in accidents involving electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■This lawn mower is capable of amputating hands and feet, and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
■Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the lawn mower. Do not operate the mower while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A lapse in concentration while operating the machine may result in serious personal injury.
■ Wear heavy, long trousers, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, sandals, or go barefoot.
■Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Use face mask if operation is dusty.
■Always be sure of your footing. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
■Walk, never run.
■Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
■Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, excessively steep slopes, or embankments. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
■Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, public pavements, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction, which may cause the material to ricochet back toward the operator.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
■Always mow in the daylight or in good artificial light.
■Do not operate the machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The tool create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all rocks, sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys, or other foreign objects.
■Do not operate the machine in wet grass or in the rain.
■Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
■Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
■Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
■Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
■Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the machine.
■Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view.
■Keep work area clean.
■Keep work area well lit.
■Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
GARDEN TOOLS USE AND CARE
■Before using, always visually inspect to ensure blades, blade bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
■Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
■Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
■Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
■Replace worn or damaged parts.
■Do not force the product. It will do the job better and safer at the speed for which it was designed.
■Do not overload your mower. Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, or the power to cut out. When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See adjusting the blade height.
■Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
■Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely

necessary. If you must back the machine away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping or pulling the machine over your feet.
■Stop the blade(s) if the machine has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the machine to and from the area to be mowed.
■ Never operate the machine with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or grass collector, in place.

■Never pick up or carry a lawn mower while the engine is running.
■Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident.
■When not in use, mower should be stored in a wellventilated, dry, locked up place-out of the reach of children.
■Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.
SAFETY RULES FOR PETROL LAWN MOWERS
■Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
■Stop the engine if the lawn mower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the lawn mower to and from the area to be mowed.
■Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
■Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade.
■Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the engine.
■Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute.
■Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the discharge chute. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating.
■If the machine strikes a foreign object, follow these steps:
●Stop the mower and disconnect the spark plug wire.
●Thoroughly inspect the mower and grass catcher for any damage.

■If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Check the condition of the blade, as an unevenly worn or damaged blade can cause abnormal vibration. Unevenly worn or damaged blades should be replaced immediately to avoid the risk of serious injury.
■Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
■To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, muffler, and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, and excessive grease.
