BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
E20. Walk, never run.
E21. Always aerate across the face or slopes, never
up and down. Put extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not aerate excessively
steep slopes and always wear non-slip foot wear.
E22. Aerate only in daylight or in good artificial light.
E23. Never use the aerator without the grass-bag in
place.
E24. Check grass bag frequently for wearing parts
or damage.
E25. Switch the motor off and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop before removing the
grass catcher or unclogging chute.
E26. Do not switch on the motor when standing in
front of the discharge chute.
E27. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear off the discharge opening at all
times.
E28. If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, switch off the motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally
a warning of trouble.
E29. 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.
E30. 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.
E31. Store your machine in a dry place when not in
use, preferably out of the reach of children.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
E32. Your machine is designed for use on a.c.
(mains) electrical supplies only - do not attempt
to use on any other supply. Plug your machine
into a power point - not a light socket.
E33. MDOUBLE INSULATION
Your machine is double insulated. 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.
E34. Always keep the electrical supply cable away
from the blades - be aware of its position at all
times.
E35. 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.
E36. 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.
E37. Your machine should always be switched off
the electrical supply, before disconnecting the
plug and socket connector, or extension cables.
E38. WARNING:
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CABLE WHICH
SHOWS SIGNS OF DAMAGE. FIT A NEW
CABLE COMPLETE - DO NOT MAKE ANY
PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY REPAIRS.
