4. Special safety instructions
4.1 Safety instructions for lawnmowers
a) Do not operate the lawnmower in bad
weather conditions, especially not during
lightning. This reduces the risk to be hit by
lightning.
b) Thoroughly check the mowing area for wild
animals. Wild animals can get injured by the
running machine.
c) Thoroughly check the mowing area and
remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and
other foreign objects. Ejected parts may cause
injuries.
d) Before using the machines, make sure that
the mower blade and the mower unit are not
worn or damaged. Worn or damaged parts
increase the risk of injury.
e) Regularly check the grass collection basket
for wear and tear. A worn or damaged grass
collection basket increase the risk of injury.
f) Keep safety covers in their place. Guards
must be ready for use and mounted properly.
Loose, damaged or not properly functioning guard
may lead to injuries.
g) Keep air inlets free from deposits. Blocked air
inlets and deposits may lead to overheating or risk
of fire.
h) Always wear non-slip safety shoes when
operating the machine. Never work barefoot or
with open sandals. This will reduce the risk of foot
injury when coming into contact with the rotating
mower blade.
i) Always wear long trousers when operating
the machine. Bare skin increases the likelihood of
injury from ejected objects.
j) Do not operate the machine in wet grass.
Walk while mowing, never run. This will reduce
the risk of slipping and falling, which may lead to
injuries.
k) Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This will reduce the risk of losing
control, slipping and falling, which may lead to
injuries.
