SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TRAINING
Read the instructions carefully in its entirety before assembling this machine. Read, understand
and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before the first operation. Be
completely familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.
Never allow children under 16 years old or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawn
mower. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
Children 16 years old and over should only operate a petrol mower under parental supervision; ensuring
only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use
your mower.
Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby;
If a situation occurs that is not covered in this user manual, use care and common sense and
contact your dealer for assistance.
PREPARATION
Keep the work area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Stop engine when they
are in the vicinity of your lawnmower to help prevent any blade contact or any injuries from thrown
objects. Although the work area should be completely cleared of foreign objects, an object may have
been overlooked and could be accidentally thrown by the lawnmower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator or any others in the vicinity.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and ensure removal of all stones,
sticks, wire, bones, toys and other foreign objects which could be picked up by the lawnmower and
thrown in any direction and cause a serious injury to the operator or others in the vicinity.
The use of safety goggles or glasses is imperative during operation or while performing an adjustment
or repair to the machine to protect eyes from foreign objects that could be thrown from the machine in
any direction
Also, wear steel‐toe capped safety shoes, long trousers and long sleeved shirts when operating the
machine. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery as these can be caught in mowing parts.
Never operate a lawnmower in bare feet, open sandals, slippery or light weight (canvas) shoes.
Do not put hands or feet near or underneath rotating parts on the lawnmower and keep well clear of
the discharge opening at the rear of the machine at all times as the rotating blade can cause serious
injury
Ensure you have a firm footing when holding the machine as many injuries occur as a result of the
lawnmower being pulled over a foot during a fall. If you feel unsteady at all, release the handle of the
mower immediately. This will ensure stopping of the engine before any injuries can occur.
Never pull the mower towards you while you are walking. If you must back the lawnmower away from
an obstruction follow these step :
oLook down and behind where you are standing
oStep back from the lawnmower and extend your arms
oEnsure you are balanced with solid footings
oPull the lawnmower back slowly, no more than half way towards you
oRepeat these steps when necessary
Plan your cutting pattern to avoid discharge of foreign objects towards roads, footpaths or bystanders.
To help avoid injuries from thrown foreign objects, keep children, bystanders and aids at least 50
meters away from the lawnmower while it is in operation and keep in mind that the user is responsible
for hazards and accidents occurring to others and their property
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment
when barefoot or wearing open sandals;
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all objects which can be thrown by the machine;
