w2. General Safety Guidelines for the hand held ro-
tary lawnmower (petrol)
– For your own safety and in order to ensure the functioning
of the lawnmower, please read these instructions
carefully. Acquaint yourself with the control
elements and the correct use of the machine.
– Please remember that the operator of the machine
or the person using the machine is not only
responsible for any danger posed to other people
or their property, but is also responsible for accidents
which occur whilst using the machine.
– This instruction manual is part of the delivery
package of the lawnmower and must be provided
to the purchaser of the lawnmower in the
event of resale.
– Never allow children or persons under the age of
16 or other persons who are not familiar with the
instructions on how to operate the machine, to
use the machine.
Please note, that local regulations can determine
the minimum age of the person allowed to use the
machine.
– Please explain the possible dangers and how
to prevent accidents to every person who is
supposed to work with this machine
– Please store your lawnmower in safe place! Lawnmowers
which are not being used, should be stored in a
dry, locked room which is inaccessible to children.
– The lawnmower is only designed for the care of
grassy areas and lawns. If used in public areas,
parks, sports grounds, on roads and in agricultural
and forest areas, special care must be taken.
– The machine must not be used in connection with
any accessories which have not been approved
by JOHN DEERE, because in doing so, the handover
permit and any guarantee then become null
and void.
– The lawnmower may not be used to trim bushes,
hedges and shrubs, it may not be used to cut
climbing plants or plants growing on roofs and on
balconies, or to vacuum or clear pavements.
– You must never mow if there are persons, especially
children, or animals nearby.
Preparatory measures
– Whilst mowing, you must always wear proper
shoes and long trousers. Do not use the lawnmower
if you are barefoot or wearing sandals.
– Always check the area in which you intend to use
the lawnmower completely for stones, sticks, wires
and other foreign objects before and whilst you
are mowing it.
WARNING
– Petrol is extremely flammable.
w – Only store the petrol in the containers designed
for this purpose.
GB
– Only fill the tank in the open and when the
motor is cold. Smoking and naked flames
are not permitted whilst filling the tank.
– The petrol must be filled into the tank before
the motor is started. Whilst the motor is running
or if the machine is hot, the lid of the
petrol tank must not be opened, nor may the
tank be filled with more petrol.
– If petrol has overflowed, you must not
attempt to start the motor. Instead, the lawnmower
must be removed from the area contaminated
with petrol, and the petrol which
has overflowed must be wiped off the motor.
Any attempt to start the motor must be avoided
until the petrol fumes have evaporated.
– For safety reasons, the petrol tank on the
lawnmower and the petrol container must be
closed again carefully.
– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank,
petrol tank lid and silencer must be exchanged.
– Before you use the lawnmower, a visual check
must always be carried out to see whether cutting
blades, attachment screws and the entire cutting
unit is worn down or damaged. In order to avoid
imbalance, worn or damaged blades and attachment
screws must be exchanged.
Handling
– The internal combustion motor must never be
used in enclosed rooms in which dangerous exhaust
fumes can build up - danger of poisoning.
– People with pace makers must not touch any
parts of the motor which might be live.
– The motor/exhaust gets very hot: Do not touch!
– Please only use the type of fuel stated in the operating
instructions.
– The motor brake is required by law for safety technical
reasons.
– Only mow during daylight or if the lighting is good.
– Always make sure that you are standing securely
whilst mowing slopes.
– Always push the machine at walking pace.
– Always mow at right angles to the slope, never
mow straight up or down.
– Please be especially careful when you change
direction when mowing on a slope.
– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
– Please be especially careful when you are turning
the lawnmower or are pulling it towards yourself.
– If you walk backwards whilst mowing, you can
easily stumble so this should be avoided.
– Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you
are standing securely and keep your balance at
all times.
– Always remain at that distance to the mower
which is maintained by the handle bar.
– If the lawnmower is to be lifted in order to transport
it, or areas other than grass are to be crossed and
when transporting the lawnmower to and from the
area you wish to mow, turn off the motor and wait
until the cutting tools have come to a standstill.
