User manual DOLMAR EV-3918

[. . . ] Do not allow children, animals or other adults get near your machine when in use - always keep at least 6m (20ft) away from the cutting area. Start your machine carefully with feet well away from the blades. When the motor is running the safety distance, given by the handle, must always be maintained. Do not leave your machine unattended whilst it is connected to the electrical supply. [. . . ] Switch the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging chute. Do not switch on the motor when standing in front of the discharge chute. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear off the discharge opening at all times. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, switch off the motor and check immediately for the cause. Care should be taken when doing any repair work on or around the blades. To prevent any injury, it is recommended that gloves should be worn when working on the blade. Do not use solvent or cleaning fluids to clean your machine - use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt. Always disconnect from the electrical supply before cleaning. Store your machine in a dry place when not in use, preferably out of the reach of children. (mains) electrical supplies only - do not attempt to use on any other supply. Plug your machine into a power point - not a light socket. This means that all external metal parts are electrically isolated from the power supply. This is achieved by placing an extra insulation barrier between the electrical and mechanical parts. Double insulation means greater electrical safety and obviates the necessity of having the machine earthed. Always keep the electrical supply cable away from the blades - be aware of its position at all times. The extension cable should always be secured firmly on the supporting hook (situated at the top of the handlebar) to prevent it from being damaged while the aerator is in use. Never carry your machine by the cable or jerk the cable to separate the connectors. Keep the cable away from heat sources, oils or sharp edges. Check the condition of your cable before use and do not use if damaged. Your machine should always be switched off the electrical supply, before disconnecting the plug and socket connector, or extension cables. Care should be taken when doing any repair work on or around the blades.
