23 General and Product-Specific Safety Instructions
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha‐
ble, from the lawn mower before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing
lawn mowers. Such preventive safety meas‐
ures reduce the risk of starting the lawn
mower accidentally.
d) Store idle lawn mowers out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the lawn mower or these instructions to
operate the lawn mower. Lawn mowers are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain lawn mowers and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condi‐
tion that may affect the lawn mower's opera‐
tion. If damaged, have the lawn mower
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained lawn mowers.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
g) Use the lawn mower, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc‐
tions, taking into account the working condi‐
tions and the work to be performed. Use of
the lawn mower for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the lawn
mower in unexpected situations.
23.6
Service
a) Have your lawn mower serviced by a quali‐
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the lawn mower is maintained.

Safety Instructions for Electric
Lawn Mowers
a) Do not use the lawn mower in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife
where the lawn mower is to be used. Wildlife
may be injured by the lawn mower during
operation.

c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawn
mower is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wires, bones and other foreign
objects. Thrown objects can cause personal
injury.
d) Before using the lawn mower, always visu‐
ally inspect to see that the mowing blade and
the mowing deck are not worn or damaged.
Worn or damaged parts increase the risk of
injury.
e) Before use, check the power cable and any
extension cables for signs of damage or age‐
ing. Do not use the lawn mower if the cable
is damaged or worn. If the power cable
becomes damaged or worn during operation,
switch the lawn mower off and do not touch
the cable until you have disconnected the
mains plug. A damaged power or extension
cable can cause electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
f)
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear
or deterioration. A worn or damaged grass
catcher may increase the risk of personal
injury.
g) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in
working order and be properly mounted. A
guard that is loose, damaged, or is not func‐
tioning correctly may result in personal injury.
h) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in
overheating or risk of fire.
i)
While operating the lawn mower, always
wear non-slip and protective footwear. Do
not operate the lawn mower when barefoot
or wearing open sandals. This reduces the
chance of injury to the feet from contact with
the moving blade.
While operating the lawn mower, always
j)
wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases
the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
k) Do not operate the lawn mower in wet grass.
Walk, never run. This reduces the risk of slip‐
ping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
l)
Do not operate the lawn mower on exces‐
sively steep slopes. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
m) When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face of
slopes, never up or down and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction.
