●

Hands and feet of all persons are not 

clear of the cutting enclosure.

■

Never operate the product if the on/off 

switch on the handlebar does not properly 

start and stop the product.

■

Never attempt to lock the on/off switches in 

the on position, this is extremely dangerous.

■

Do not force the product. It will do the job 

better and safer at the speed for which it 

was designed. 

■

Stop the blade when crossing gravel 

surfaces. 

■

Do not pull the product backwards unless 

absolutely necessary. If you must back the 

product away from a wall or obstruction, 

first look down and behind to avoid tripping 

or pulling the product over your feet. 

■

Turn off the motor and allow the blade 

to stop if the product has to be tilted for 

transportation when crossing surfaces 

other than grass, and when transporting 

the product to and from the work area.

■

Never use the product with defective guards 

or shields, or without safety devices, such 

as deflectors and grass collectors, in place.

■

Do not tilt the product when turning on 

the motor or while the motor is running. If 

absolutely necessary, you may raise the 

front of the lawn mower by no more than 

5 cm to enable easier starting. Press down 

on the handlebar to achieve this. Always 

return the mower to its normal position with 

all wheels on the ground before cutting. 

Tilting the mower exposes the blade and 

increases the probability of objects being 

thrown and accidental contact with the 

blade.

■

Turn on the motor carefully according to 

instructions, and keep hands and feet 

away from blades. Do not put hands or feet 

near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of 

the discharge opening at all times. 

■

Never pick up or carry the product while it 

is running. 

■

complete stop:

●

before leaving the product unattended 

(including disposal of grass clippings).

●

before clearing blockages or unclogging 

the discharge chute

●

before checking, cleaning, or working on 

the product

●

before removing the grass catcher or 

opening the grass discharge chute cover

●

after striking a foreign object (inspect 

the product for damage and make 

repairs  as necessary before restarting 

and operating the product)

●

whenever the product starts to vibrate 

abnormally (check immediately)

inspect for damage, particularly the 

blades

–

is never trapped, pinched, or damaged 

during assembly or when folding the 

handle.
