Damp and electricity do not go together: ­ cables must be handled and wired when dry ­ never allow contact between an electric socket or cable with a wet area (puddles or damp grass); ­ connections between cables and sockets must be of the waterproof type. Only use extension cables with moulded-on waterproof or approved sockets available commercially. [. . . ] 6) The power supply cables must not be of lower quality than the H05RN-F or H05VV-F type with minimum cross-section size of 1. 8) The permanent wiring of any electrical device to the mains must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with electrical regulations in force. 11) Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed. 12) Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or without safety devices, such as the stone-guard and/or grass-catchers, in place. 13) On power-driven models , disengage the drive clutch before starting the engine. 14) Start the engine carefully, following the instructions and keeping feet well away from the blade. 15) Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the engine unless it is strictly necessary for start-up. In this case, do not tilt it more than is strictly necessary and only lift the part furthest away from the operator. Check that both hands are positioned correctly before lowering the lawnmower. 18) Stop the engine and disconnect the power supply cable: ­ before carrying out any work underneath the cutting deck or before unclogging the chute; ­ before checking, cleaning or working on lawnmower; ­ after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the lawnmower; ­ if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally, find and remove the cause of the vibration immediately; ­ whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended. 3 While cutting, ensure that the electric cable is always behind you and on the area of grass already cut.
