•

Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when 
refuelling and filling oil.

•

Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point 
before starting it.

•

Never start the machine: 

1

If you have spilt fuel or engine oil on the machine. Wipe 
off the spill and allow the remaining fuel to evaporate.

2

If you spill fuel or engine oil on yourself or your clothes. 
Change your clothes.

3

If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks 
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

•

The fuel and engine oil tanks should be emptied before 
longer periods of storage or when transporting the lawn 
mower. Ask where you can dispose of surplus fuel and 
engine oil at your local petrol station.

•

Always store the lawn mower and fuel so that any leakage 
or vapours do not risk coming into contact with sparks or 
naked flames. For example, electrical machines, electric 
motors, relays/switches, boilers, or the like.

•

Always store fuel in an approved container designed for 
that purpose.

•

Look around you:

   - To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect 
your control of the machine.

   - To make sure that none of the above might come into 
contact with the cutting equipment.

•

Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from the 
lawn before you start to mow. Make sure the cutter does 
not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. 
This can make the cutter dull and bend the engine shaft.

•

Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when the 
engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower, first 
switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition lead from 
the spark plug.

•

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense 
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in 
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as 
icy ground.

•

Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area 
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, 
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take 
great care when working on sloping ground.

•

The lawn mower should not be used on inclines greater 
than 15 degrees. Inclines that are too great can result in  
fuel leakage

•

The engine should be switched off when moving over 
ground that is not to be mowed. For example, gravel 
paths, stone, shingle, asphalt, etc.

•

The brake handle must never be permanently anchored in 
handle when the machine is running.

Follow the instructions above, but do not use a lawn mower in 
a situation where you cannot call for help in case of an 
accident.

•

Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the lawn 
mower on very steep slopes.

•

The lawn mower should not be used on inclines greater 
than 15 degrees. Inclines that are too great can result in  
fuel leakage

•

On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It is 
much easier to work along a slope than it is to work up and 
down it.

•

Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from the 
lawn before you start to mow.

•

Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when the 
engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower, first 
switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition lead from 
the spark plug.

•

Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as 
stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and 
bend the engine shaft. A bent axle gives imbalance and 
heavy vibration, which results in a great risk of the cutter 
becoming loose.

If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the 
machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the 
spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged. 
Repair any damage.
