Ryobi RLM16E36H, Original Instructions Manual

■

Use extra care when approaching blind 

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects 

including overhanging shrubs, which may 

block your view.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

■

Power plugs must match the outlet. Never 

modify the plug in any way. Do not use 

any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) 

power tools. Unmodified plugs and 

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric 

shock.

■

Avoid unintentional starting. Always check 

that the switch is in off position before 

plugging in the product to the power supply. 

Do not carry a plugged in product with your 

finger on the switch.

■

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.

■

Do not expose the product to rain or wet 

conditions. Water entering an appliance 

will increase the risk of electric shock.

■

Electrical power should be supplied via 

a residual current device (RCD) with a 

tripping current of not more than 30 mA.

■

Before use check the supply and extension 

cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord 

becomes damaged during use, disconnect 

the cord from the supply immediately. 

Do 

not touch the cord before disconnecting 

the supply.

 Do not use the product if the 

cord is damaged or worn.

■

If you need to use an extension cord 

ensure it is suitable for outdoor use and 

has a current capacity rating sufficient to 

supply your product. The extension cord 

cable should be marked with either “H05 

RN-F” or “H05 VV-F”. Check it before every 

use for damage, always uncoil it during 

use because coiled cords can overheat. 

Damaged extension cords should not be 

repaired, they should be replaced with an 

equivalent type. 

■

Make sure the power cord is positioned so 

that it cannot be damaged by the cutting 

means and will not be stepped on, tripped 

over or otherwise subjected to damage or 

stress.

■

Never pick up or carry the product by the 

electric cable. 

■

Never pull by the power cord to disconnect 

from the power supply.

■

Keep the power cord away from heat, oil 

and sharp edges.

■

Make sure voltage is correct for your 

product. A nameplate on the product 

indicates the product’s voltage. Never 

connect the product to an AC voltage that 

differs from this voltage.

■

Always ensure the cord from the handlebar 

to the mower body is never trapped, pinched 

or otherwise damaged during assembly or 

handle folding. Never apply power to the 

mower if this cable is damaged. Return to 

authorised service centre for professional 

repair.

■

A power spike causes voltage fluctuations 

and may affect other electrical products in 

the same power line. Connect the product 

to a power supply with an impedance equal 

or  less  than  0.452Ω  -  for  RLM19E40H  to 

minimize voltage fluctuations. Contact 

your electric power supplier for further 

clarification.

LAWN MOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

■

Before using, always visually inspect to 

ensure blades, blade bolts, and cutter 

assembly are not worn or damaged.

■

Replace worn or damaged blades and 

bolts in sets to preserve balance.

■

The blade on the product is sharp. Use 

extreme caution and wear heavy duty 

gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning or 

checking bolt security.

■

Bring the product to an authorised service 

centre to replace damaged or unreadable 

labels.

■

Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at 

frequent intervals for proper tightness to 

be sure that the product is in safe working 

condition.

■

Frequently check the grass box for wear, 

holes or deterioration.

■

Replace worn or damaged parts before 

operating the product.

■

The product must be started with the user 

behind the handlebars in the operator 

safety zone. Never start the product if:

●

all four wheels are not on the ground

●

the grass discharge chute is exposed 

without being protected by the grass box
