[. . . ] â· Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury. Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade. â· Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or switching on the motor, except if the lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. [. . . ] Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. â· Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Always be sure of your footing on slopes. â· For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawnmower towards you. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. â· Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. â· Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. â· To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. These symbols may appear on your machine or in the literature supplied with the product.
