Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN60335-2-77:
Model DLM382
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 2.0 m/s
Model DLM432
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

Preparation
While operating the mower, always wear sub-
1.
stantial footwear and long trousers. Do not
operate the mower when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing or jew-
elry that is loose fitting or that has hanging
cords or ties. They can be caught in moving
parts.
2. Before use, always visually inspect the mower
for damaged, missing or misplaced guards or
shields.
3. Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.
4. Do not insert the lock key into mower until it is
ready to be used.
5. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
6. Check the blades or blade bolts carefully for
cracks or damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged blades or blade bolts
immediately.
7. Remove foreign matters such as rocks, wire,
bottles, bones and large sticks from the work
area before mowing to prevent personal injury
or damage to the mower.
8. Objects struck by the mower blade can cause
severe injuries to persons. The lawn should
always be carefully examined and cleared of
all objects prior to each mowing.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
9.
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Operation
Do not overreach. Keep the balance at all
1.
times. Always be sure of the footing on slopes.
Walk, never run.
