2 Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the lawnmower is to be used. Wildlife may be in-
jured by the lawnmower during operation.
3 Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawn-
mower is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
4 Before using the lawnmower, always visually in-
spect to see that the blade and the blade assem-
bly are not worn or damaged. Worn or damaged
parts increase the risk of injury.
5 Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration. A worn or damaged grass catcher
may increase the risk of personal injury.
6 Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted. A guard that
is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly
may result in personal injury.
7 Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked
air inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk
of fire.
8 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.
9 This reduces the chance of injury to the feet
from contact with the moving blade. Exposed
skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown
objects.
10 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.
11 Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of con-
trol, slipping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
12 When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
13 Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling
the lawnmower towards you. Always be aware of
your surroundings. This reduces the risk of trip-
ping during operation.
14 Do not touch blades and other hazardous mov-
ing parts while they are still in motion. This re-
duces the risk of injury from moving parts.
15 When clearing jammed material or cleaning the
lawnmower, make sure all power switches are
off and the battery pack is disconnected. Unex-
pected operation of the lawnmower may result in se-
rious personal injury.
16 When clearing jammed material or cleaning the
lawnmower, make sure all power switches are
off and remove (or activate) the disabling de-
vice. Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may
result in serious personal injury.
