Automower safety: what the manual says

Stop it, and don't use it, when

• A person or animal comes in its way. Stop it straight away¹.
• It starts to vibrate abnormally. Set it to OFF¹.
• The STOP button doesn't work. Don't use it¹.
• It is damaged. Check it for damage before you start it again, and don't use it if it is damaged¹.
• A cable is damaged. Don't touch it until it is unplugged at the wall. A damaged cable must be replaced by service staff¹.
• There is standing water in the work area, for example pools after heavy rain. Don't let it run¹.

To set it to OFF, go behind it and push the STOP button. Wait at least 3 seconds before you move it¹.

The blades

• Keep hands and feet away from the blades, and away from under the mower while it is ON¹.
• Don't lift or move it while it is ON¹.
• Don't touch the blade disc until it has stopped completely¹.
• Set it to OFF before you clear a blockage, do maintenance or look it over¹.
• Carry it by the handle with the blade disc away from your body¹.
• Don't change its design¹.

People, children and pets

• Keep everyone at least 3 m (10 ft) away while it runs. Don't sleep or sunbathe in the work area¹.
• Children under 8 should not be in the work area while it runs. Watch children and animals at all times¹.
• Use park mode or set it to OFF when people, especially children, or animals are in the work area¹.
• It can hurt animals at night, such as hedgehogs. Husqvarna suggests running it when the work area is quiet¹.
• In a public area, put up warning signs around the work area¹.

Charger and battery

• Charge it only in the charging station that came with it, and use only original Husqvarna batteries¹.
• Plug the power supply into a socket with a GFCI or RCD (30 mA at most)¹.
• Keep the charging station at least 60 cm (24 in) from anything that burns¹.
• Don't put it where people could trip on it or water could stand¹.
• Don't put the power supply on the ground or where it could end up in water¹.
• If a thunderstorm is likely, Husqvarna suggests unplugging the power supply and every wire to the charging station¹.

Reports and recalls

To look for a recall: the EU Safety Gate, the UK product safety alerts and recalls, the US CPSC recalls, or your own country's product safety body.

Who to contact

If someone is hurt, get medical help¹. For the mower, Husqvarna's support pages are on husqvarna.com, and the manual says to speak to your Husqvarna servicing dealer for more¹. If something happened that others should know about, tell us too.
