SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TRAINING
• Read the instructions carefully in its entirety before assembling this machine. Read, understand and
follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before the first operation. Be completely
familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
• Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.
• Never allow children under 16 years old or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawn
mower. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
Children 16 years old and over should only operate a petrol mower under parental supervision; ensuring only
responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use your
mower.
• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby;
• If a situation occurs that is not covered in this user manual, use care and common sense and
contact your dealer for assistance.
PREPARATION
• Keep the work area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Stop engine when they are
in the vicinity of your lawnmower to help prevent any blade contact or any injuries from thrown objects.
Although the work area should be completely cleared of foreign objects, an object may have been
overlooked and could be accidentally thrown by the lawnmower in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator or any others in the vicinity.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and ensure removal of all stones,
sticks, wire, bones, toys and other foreign objects which could be picked up by the lawnmower and
thrown in any direction and cause a serious injury to the operator or others in the vicinity.
• The use of safety goggles or glasses is imperative during operation or while performing an adjustment or
repair to the machine to protect eyes from foreign objects that could be thrown from the machine in any
direction
• Also, wear steel‐toe capped safety shoes, long trousers and long-sleeved shirts when operating the
machine. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery as these can be caught in mowing parts. Never
operate a lawnmower in bare feet, open sandals, slippery or light weight (canvas) shoes.
• Do not put hands or feet near or underneath rotating parts on the lawnmower and keep well clear of the
discharge opening at the rear of the machine at all times as the rotating blade can cause serious injury
• Ensure you have a firm footing when holding the machine as many injuries occur as a result of the
lawnmower being pulled over a foot during a fall. If you feel unsteady at all, release the handle of the
mower immediately. This will ensure stopping of the engine before any injuries can occur.
• Never pull the mower towards you while you are walking. If you must back the lawnmower away from an
obstruction follow these steps:
o Look down and behind where you are standing
o Step back from the lawnmower and extend your arms
o Ensure you are balanced with solid footings
o Pull the lawnmower back slowly, no more than half way towards you
o Repeat these steps when necessary
• Plan your cutting pattern to avoid discharge of foreign objects towards roads, footpaths or bystanders. To
help avoid injuries from thrown foreign objects, keep children, bystanders and aids at least 50 meters away
from the lawnmower while it is in operation and keep in mind that the user is responsible for hazards and
accidents occurring to others and their property
• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment
when barefoot or wearing open sandals;
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all objects which can be thrown by the machine and damage the
mower.
