1.2 General safety warnings

1.2.1 General machine safety warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded)
machine or battery operated (cordless) machine.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not operate the lawnmower in rain or wet conditions.
This may increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating machines may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-posi-
tion before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or
energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machines may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow
you to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Machine use and care
a) Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your appli-
cation. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or the battery pack
from the machine before making any adjustments, changing acces sories,
or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the machine accidentally.
d) Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate
the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain machines. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the machine in unexpected situations.
5) Service
Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
1.2.2 Lawnmower safety warnings
a) Do not use the lawnmower in bad weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the lawnmower is to be
used. Wildlife may be injured by the lawnmower during operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and
remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
d) Before using the lawnmower, always visually inspect to see that the
blade and the blade assembly are not worn or damaged.
Worn or damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
e) Before use, check the supply cord and any extension cord for signs
of damage or aging. Do not use the lawnmower if the cord is damaged
or worn. If the cord is damaged or worn during use, switch off the
lawnmower and do not touch the cord before disconnecting it from the
supply. A damaged supply cord or extension cord may result in electric shock,
fire and / or serious injury.
f) Check the grass box frequently for wear or deterioration.
A worn or damaged grass box may increase the risk of personal injury.
g) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be prop-
erly mounted.
A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly may result in
personal injury.
h) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
i) While operating the lawnmower, always wear non-slip and protective
footwear. Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with the moving blade.
j) While operating the lawnmower, always wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
k) Do not operate the lawnmower in wet grass. Walk, never run.
This reduces the risk of slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
