Electrical Safety - Ryobi RBC36X26E Original Instructions Manual

■ Do not use the product when there is a risk
of lightning.
■ Tragic accidents can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the product
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 the product off if a child enters the
area.
■ Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects,
including overhanging shrubs, which may
block your view.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

If the replacement of the supply cord is
■
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
■ Pull the plug from the socket:
whenever you leave the product;
●
● before clearing a blockage;
● before checking, cleaning or working
on the product;
after striking a foreing object. Inspect
●
the product for damage and make
repairs as necessary;
if the product starts to vibrate
●
abnormally (check immediately).
■ Power plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
■ Avoid unintentional starting. Always check
that the switch is in the off position before
plugging in the product to the power supply.
Do not carry a plugged in product with your
finger on the switch.
■ Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your

plugs and

body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose the product to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the product
increases the risk of electric shock.
Electrical power should be supplied via
a residual current device (RCD) with a
tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
Before use check the supply and extension
cord for signs of damage or aging. 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 product if the cord is
damaged or worn.
If you need to use an extension cord,
ensure that it is suitable for outdoor use and
has a current capacity rating sufficient to
supply your product. Check it before every
use for damage, always uncoil it during
use because coiled cords can overheat.
Damaged extension cords should not be
repaired, they should be replaced with an
equivalent type.
Make sure that the power cord is positioned
so that it cannot be damaged by the cutting
means and will not be stepped on, tripped
over or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
Never pick up or carry the product by the
electric cable.
Never pull by the power cord to disconnect
from the power supply.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
Make sure that the voltage is correct for
your product. A nameplate on the product
indicates the product's voltage. Never
connect the product to an AC voltage that
differs from this voltage.
Always ensure that the cord from the
handlebar to the mower body is never
trapped, pinched, or damaged during
assembly or handle folding. Never apply
power to the mower if this cable is damaged.
Bring the product to an authorised service
centre for professional repair.
