SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, or it is greater than 15 degrees, do not operate on
it.
Do:
1. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury.
Do Not:
1. Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, you could lose your footing or balance.
2. Do not operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
3. Do not operate on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted
to the machine and the activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the operating area and under care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn the machine off if a child enters the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
4. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate this machine. Children 16 and over should read and
understand the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual and on the machine and be
trained and supervised by an adult.
SERVICE
General Service:
1. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the electrical plug from the power source to prevent unintended starting.
2. Check the blade at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect for damage. Replace with
the original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of parts which do not
meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!”
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
4. Never tamper with safety devices. Check the correct operation regularly.
5. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, disconnect the electrical plug from the power source.
Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating the
machine.
6. Components, guards and shields are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or
allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace immediately
with original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. “Use of parts which do
not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise
safety!”
7. Do not change the motor’s settings. The motor has been set for the maximum safe operating speed.
8. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
9. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the
environment.
DO NOT MODIFY THE MOTOR
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify the motor in any way. Tampering with the motor settings can
cause it to operate at unsafe speeds and lead to premature failure. Never tamper with factory settings of the
motor. Please refer to this manual, before undertaking any inspection, repair, or maintenance.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
1. Power tool electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the
risk of a lethal electric shock.
4. Do not damage the electrical cable. Never use the electrical cable for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the electrical cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled electric cables increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using an
extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual
current device (RCD) with a trip current of not more than 30mA. Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal
electric shock.
7. Only use extension cables that have been approved for outdoor use and are resistant to splash water. The
core diameter for extension cables measuring up to 25 m must be at least 2.5 mm², and 2.5 mm²for cables
longer than 25m. Always roll the whole cable off the reel before use. Check the cable for damage.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not use or play with the machine.
3. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this machine.
4. Do not use this machine while you are tired, ill or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating this machine can cause you to lose control & may result in series
personal injury.
5. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condition will reduce personal injuries.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing & gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. Prolonged use of the machine may lead to disorders of blood circulation in hands caused by vibration.
These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the handgrips excessively
tightly. Period of use you can extend with appropriate gloves or regular breaks. Take frequent work
breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
