EGO LM2000E Power+ Mower Operating Manual page 8

◾ ◾
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
◾ ◾
Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended.
◾ ◾
Don't overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
◾ ◾
Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully
examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
◾ ◾
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets. Never mow while people,
especially children, or pets are nearby.
◾ ◾
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children and other people.
◾ ◾
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. For rotary mowers, keep clear of the discharge opening at
all times.
◾ ◾
This machine is a precise piece of power equipment, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all
times. Your unit has been designed to perform one job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any other purpose.
◾ ◾
Don't force the lawn mower – it will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
◾ ◾
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts and any other components in sets to preserve balance.
Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
◾ ◾
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the appliance towards you.
◾ ◾
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, toys and other
foreign objects that could be tripped over or picked up and thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can cause serious
personal injury. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and
the like. Also, avoid discharging material against walls or obstructions, which may cause discharged material to
ricochet back toward the operator.
◾ ◾
To help avoid blade contact or an injury from thrown objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles and
keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at least 30m from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the machine
if anyone enters the area.
◾ ◾
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
◾ ◾
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting
slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Never
operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.
◾ ◾
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands
and feet.
◾ ◾
A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or injuries from thrown objects.
◾ ◾
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping.
Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling; release the handle immediately.
