standard EN836:1997.
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands
and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the
following safety instructions could result in serious
injury or death.
Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the mower. Local regulations can
restrict the age of the operator.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
• Understand explanations for all pictograms used on
the mower or in the instructions.
• Do not carry passengers.
• All operators should seek and obtain professional
