GENERAL SAFETY RULES
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, muffler, and
petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, and excessive
grease.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
Keep machine in good working condition. Keep blades
sharp and guards in place and in working order.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
When not in use, mower should be stored in a well-
ventilated, dry, locked up place—out of the reach of
children.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation
and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, transporting, or
storing the lawn mower. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the product acciden-
tally.
Service on the product must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user
or damage to the product.
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing the
product. Use of unauthorized parts may create a risk of
serious injury to the user, or damage to the product.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Mate-
rial may ricochet back toward the operator.
Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause
severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be
carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to
each mowing.
Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
removing the grass catcher or unclogging the discharge
chute. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any
part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the
blade has stopped rotating.
Stop the engine and wait until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop before cleaning the lawn mower, removing
the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.
If the lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these
steps:
• Stop the mower and disconnect the spark plug
wire.
• Thoroughly inspect the mower and grass catcher
for any damage.
• Repair any damage before restarting and continuing
to operate the mower.
If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warn-
ing of trouble. Check the condition of the blade, as an
unevenly worn or damaged blade can cause abnormal
vibration. Unevenly worn or damaged blades should
be replaced immediately to avoid the risk of serious
injury.
Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
