Mountfield Princess 38 Corded Rotary Lawnmower

Read the manual for full safety and warnings. Familiarize yourself with controls and emergency stops. Keep manual for reference. Avoid use near people, especially children or pets, and never operate when tired, ill, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Assess risks on slopes and unstable ground and take precautions. Wear slip-resistant footwear, long trousers, and earplugs. Avoid loose clothing, jewellery, and sandals. Tie back long hair. Inspect for hazards like stones or wires that could damage the mower or be thrown by the blade. Regularly check the mower, especially the blade and power cable, and replace worn parts. Ensure safety levers and guards are functional. Mow in good visibility and keep people and pets away. Never operate without safety guards. Avoid mowing wet grass or in bad weather, especially thunderstorms. Maintain firm footing on slopes and mow across them, not up and down. Avoid slopes steeper than 20°. Be cautious near obstacles blocking visibility. Immobilize the blade when tilting or transporting the mower. Stay alert to nearby traffic. Start the motor carefully, keeping feet away from rotating parts. Never lift or transport the mower with the motor running. Do not disable safety systems or modify motor settings. Avoid burns by not touching hot motor parts. For powered models, disengage wheel drive before starting. Always turn off the motor and disengage the blade before transporting or performing maintenance. Wear gloves when handling or servicing the blade. Check safety guards regularly and replace if damaged. Never use damaged parts; replace with original parts. Store the mower out of children’s reach, away from heat or sparks.
