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 cor-

rectly may result in personal injury.

7. Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.

Blocked air inlets and debris may result in over-

heating or risk of re.

8. While operating the lawnmower, always wear

non-slip and protective footwear. Do not oper-

ate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing

open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury

to the feet from contact with the moving blade.

9. While operating the lawnmower, always wear

long trousers. Exposed skin increases the likeli-

hood 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

control, 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

tripping during operation.

14. Do not touch blades and other hazardous

moving parts while they are still in motion. This

reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.

15. When clearing jammed material or cleaning

the lawnmower, make sure all power switches

are o and the battery pack is disconnected.

Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may

result in serious personal injury.
