ou de dommages sur les lames avant l’utili-
sation. Remplacez immédiatement les lames
ssurées ou abîmées.
19. Assurez-vous qu’il n’y a personne à proximité
avant de commencer à tondre. Arrêtez la ton-
deuse si quelqu’un s’approche.
20.
Pour éviter de vous blesser ou d’abîmer la ton-
deuse, enlevez les corps étrangers tels que
pierres, câbles, bouteilles, os et gros bouts de bois
de la zone de travail avant de commencer à tondre.

roues pendant que la tondeuse tourne.
23.
Libérez le levier d’interrupteur et attendez que
la lame ait cessé de tourner avant de traverser
une allée, un trottoir, une route ou une zone
recouverte de gravier. Pensez également à
débrancher le cordon d’alimentation du secteur
si vous laissez la tondeuse sans surveillance,
si vous vous penchez pour ramasser ou enlever
un objet qui fait obstacle, ou pour toute autre
raison pouvant vous distraire de votre travail.
24. Les objets heurtés par la lame de tondeuse
peuvent provoquer de graves blessures. Pensez
toujours à inspecter soigneusement le gazon et à
retirer tous les objets avant de tondre.
25. Si la tondeuse heurte un corps étranger, pro-
cédez comme suit :
- Arrêtez la tondeuse, libérez le levier d’inter-
rupteur et attendez que la lame ait complète-
ment cessé de tourner.
