WARNING: Stop the engine and unplug the spark plug before any
repairs or maintenance operations.
• Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are well tightened before every
use.
• Before mowing ensure that the blade and the blade fixing screw are
securely fastened. When the blade edges require re-sharpening, this
must be done evenly on both sides to prevent any imbalance. If the
blades are damaged, it must be replaced.
• When mowing always wear long trousers and strong, covered
footwear.

to your health.

• Do not use the lawn mower when it is raining or when the grass is
wet.

friction and prevent over loading. The optimal mowing height
should be 1/3 the height of the grass. It would affect the work
efficiency of lawn mower if too much higher or lower.
