if it should strike/hit objects
For the sake of precision, I would translate "en" here with "it" i.e. the mower, as it is this which will hit/strike the objects, not "you".

Magnus Ølmheim
: 'hit' or 'touch'. More 'hit' in this context though, since it refers to the blades of the lawn mower hitting objects or obstacles during mowing..

: "touch" is in my opinion too soft. It's a lawnmower with blades rotating at high speed. They hardly touch something, but hit or strike.
