guards or protectors or no guards or protec-
tors in place.
• Make sure that there are no power or extension
cords, water pipes or hoses, gas lines, etc. near
the machine.
• Before starting the machine, make sure that
the cutting tools do not touch any hard objects
such as branches or stones.
• Do not lift the machine to mow at heights. The
maximum height to which the machine can be
raised is waist height. Do not use the machine
at heights. Do not stand on a ladder, wall, or
unstable surface when using the machine.
• Only start the motor if your hands and feet are

• Always switch off the machine and remove the
battery:

• Be careful not to injure your hands or feet with
the cutting tool.
