General Safety
Personal Safety
!
• WARNING! Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
product. Local regulations can restrict the minimum age of the operator.
• Keep children, pets, and other people not using the unit away from the work area (at least
15m). Be alert and shut off the unit if anyone enters work area. Keep children under the watchful
care of a responsible adult.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the machine.
Never operate the machine when unwell or tired, or if you have taken alcohol, medicine, drugs or
any substances which may slow your reflexes and compromise judgment. A moment of
inattention while operating the machine may result in serious personal injury.
• Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), MUST be worn at all times when operating
or repairing the machine. Always wear anti-slip and resistant work footwear and long trousers
while using the machine. Do not use the machine when barefoot, wearing sandals or similar
lightweight footwear. Do not wear chains, bracelets or clothing that is loose fitting or hanging
ties or cords. Tie long hair back. Always wear protective earplugs. Loose clothes, jewellery, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Protect eyes, face, and head from objects that may be
thrown from the unit. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when
operating.
• Always keep hands and feet away from all moving parts during operation. Moving parts can cut
or crush body parts. Always keep hands and feet away from all pinch points.
• Do not touch parts that might be hot from operation. Allow parts to cool before attempting to
maintain, adjust, or service.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the machine in unexpected situations. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance
and you may fall which will result in injury.
• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur
during assembly, installation, and operation, maintenance, repairing or moving.
• Start the machine carefully according to instructions and with feet away from the moving parts.
• Do not place your hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep away from any discharge
openings.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents, hazards or unexpected
events involving the machine that occur to other people or their property. It is the responsibility of
the user to assess the potential risk of the area where work is being carried out. The operator or
user must take all necessary precautions to ensure their own safety and that of others, especially
on slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.

Inspect Your Machine
• Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working order. Make
sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
• You must check the general condition of the machine before use.
• Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical condition.
Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it. Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine
in safe working condition.
• Do not use the machine if the engine’s switch does not turn off the engine when running. Any
petrol powered machine that can’t be controlled with the engine switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
• Regularly check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine area
before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the machine may
result in personal injury.
• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine’s switch is off before transporting the machine or
performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or
service on a machine with its switch on invites accidents.
• Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.
• Only use manufacturer-recommended attachments.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the tools are not worn out or damaged.
Replace worn out or damaged elements and bolts in set to preserve balance.
• Keep the machine in good operating condition. Operating the machine in poor or questionable
condition could result in serious injury.
• Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels are in place. These items are
installed for your safety.

Work Area
•Make sure you thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove all objects and anything that
could be thrown by the machine or could damage the engine or machine (branches, stones, wire,
toys, etc). Attempting to clear the work area whilst using the machine will reduce your
concentration and creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilled on the floor may result in you slipping.
•You must only work in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions. Do not
work at night, at times of heavy fog, or at any other times when your field of vision might be
limited and it would be difficult to gain a clear view of the area.
•Keep people, children and animals away from the working area.
• Operate on flat, level ground.
• DO NOT work on wet ground. If there has been heavy rain on the working site, wait until the
ground has dried up.
• You must pay special attention when approaching obstacles that could compromise visibility.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. When changing direction, you
need to be careful that the wheels do not hit any obstacles (such as roots, branches, stones, etc)
that can cause the machine to slide sideways or make you lose control of it. Avoid driving on
slopes steeper than 15%. Make sure on slopes you have a steady foothold.
• Find and locate all fixed objects in the ground, such as sprinkler systems, poles, water valves,
bases for washing lines etc. Make sure that you check for hidden electrical cables or similar on
the surface of the lawn. ALWAYS run the machine around these objects. NEVER intentionally run
the machine over foreign objects.
• Never park the machine in a place with unstable ground which could give way.
• You must be careful near ravines, ditches or embankments.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Pay the utmost attention when working on frozen ground as the machine may tend to skid.
• Do not work in the rain, when there is a thunderstorm or lightning risk, at times of strong or gale
force winds, or at any other times when the weather conditions might make it unsafe to use this
product. If there is bad weather conditions, do not use the machine.
