■ Be careful during adjustment of the product
to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving blades and fixed parts of
the product.
■ When servicing the blades be aware that,
even though the power source is switched
off, the blades can still be moved.
■ The blade on the product is sharp. Use
extreme caution and wear heavy duty
gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning or
checking bolt security.
■ Replace damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES
■ Stop the motor and remove the power cord
from the supply outlet.
■ Always wear heavy-duty gloves when
checking or clearing a blockage.
■ The blades are sharp and the blockage
itself could be a sharp object.
■ Remove the grass collector, check for and
carefully clear obstructions.
■ Check the grass discharge chute for
blockages and carefully clear.
■ Turn the mower on its side and check
the underside of the mower and the area
around the blade. If any blockages are
found, remove carefully. Remember the
blade may move during cleaning.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■ injury caused by vibration
● Always use the right tool for the job. Use
designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
■ injury caused by noise
● Exposure to noise can cause hearing
injury. Wear ear protection and limit
exposure.
■ injury from contact with the blades
■ injury caused by thrown objects
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-
held tools may contribute to a condition called
Raynaud's Syndrome in certain individuals.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness
and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors,
exposure to cold and dampness, diet,
smoking and work practices are all thought
to contribute to the development of the these
symptoms. There are measures that can be
taken by the operator to possibly reduce the
effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the unit wear gloves to
keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take
regular breaks.
