SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all
safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with
this machine .Failure to
follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future
reference.
The term “machine” in the
warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded)
machine or battery-operated
(cordless) machine.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines
in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Machines create
sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and
bystanders away while
operating a machine.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) Machine plugs must
match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded)
machines. Unmodied
plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric
shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.

c) Do not operate the
lawnmower in rain or
wet conditions. This may
increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or
unplugging the machine.
Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a machine
outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a machine
in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a
residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what
you are doing and use
common sense when
operating a machine. Do
not use a machine while
you are tired or under the
inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment
of inattention while
operating machines may
result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position
before connecting to
power source and/or
battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying machines with
your nger on the switch or
energising machines that
have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key
or wrench before turning
the machine on. A wrench
or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the
machine may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables

4
Electric lawn mower
WG713E WG713E.X
better control of the
machine in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided
for the connection of dust
extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these
are connected and
properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity
gained from frequent
use of tools allow you
to become complacent
and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless
action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a
second.
Machine use and care
a) Do not force the machine.
Use the correct machine
for your application. The
correct machine will do
the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the machine
if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any
machine that cannot be
controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or
remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the
machine before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing
machines. Such preventive
safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
d) Store idle machines
out of the reach of
children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with
the machine or these
instructions to operate the
machine. Machines are
dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain machines and
accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other
condition that may affect
the machine’s operation.
If damaged, have the

5
Electric lawn mower
WG713E WG713E.X
machine repaired before
use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly
maintained machines.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the machine,
accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking
into account the working
conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of
the machine for operations
different from those
intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and
grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Service
a) Have your machine
serviced by a qualied
repair person using only
identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the machine
is maintained.
Lawnmower safety warnings
a) Do not use the lawnmower
in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is
a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the
area for wildlife where the
lawnmower is to be used.
Wildlife may be injured
by the lawnmower during
operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the
area where the lawnmower
is to be used and remove
all stones, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign
objects. Thrown objects
can cause personal injury.
d) Before using the
lawnmower, always
visually inspect to see
that the blade and the
blade assembly are not
worn or damaged. Worn or
damaged parts increase
the risk of injury.
e) Before use, check the
supply cord and any
extension cord for signs of
damage or aging. Do not
use the lawnmower if the

6
Electric lawn mower
WG713E WG713E.X
cord is damaged or worn.
If the cord is damaged or
worn during use, switch
off the lawnmower and do
not touch the cord before
disconnecting it from the
supply. A damaged supply
cord or extension cord may
result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
f) Check the grass catcher
frequently for wear or
deterioration. A worn or
damaged grass catcher
may increase the risk of
personal injury.
g) Keep guards in place.
Guards must be in working
order and be properly
mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not
functioning correctly may
result in personal injury.
h) Keep all cooling air inlets
clear of debris. Blocked air
inlets and debris may result
in overheating or risk of
re.
i) While operating the
lawnmower, always wear
non-slip and protective
footwear. Do not operate
the lawnmower when
barefoot or wearing open
sandals. This reduces the
chance of injury to the
feet from contact with the
moving blade.
j) While operating the
lawnmower, always wear
long trousers. Exposed
skin increases the
likelihood of injury from
thrown objects.
k) Do not operate the
lawnmower in wet grass.
Walk, never run. This
reduces the risk of slipping
and falling which may
result in personal injury.
l) Do not operate the
lawnmower on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces
the risk of loss of control,
slipping and falling which
may result in personal
injury.
m)When working on slopes,
always be sure of your
footing, always work
across the face of slopes,
never up or down and
exercise extreme caution
when changing direction.
This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in
personal injury.
n) Use extreme caution when
reversing or pulling the
lawnmower towards you.
Always be aware of your

7
Electric lawn mower
WG713E WG713E.X
surroundings. This reduces
the risk of tripping during
operation.
o) Keep the supply cord away
from the cutting blades. A
damaged supply cord may
result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
p) Switch off and remove
plug from mains if the cord
is entangled or damaged.
Entangled or damaged
cords can increase the risk
of electric shock.
q) Do not touch blades and
other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the
risk of injury from moving
parts.
r) When clearing jammed
material or cleaning
the lawnmower, make
sure all power switches
are off and the power
cord is disconnected.
Unexpected operation of
the lawnmower may result
in serious personal injury.
s) Recommendation for the
use of a residual current
device with a tripping
current of 30 mA or less.
