Vibrations
When the device is used over a longer period
of time, vibrations can cause disturbances in
the blood supply of the hands. A generally ac-
cepted usage time cannot be determined.
– Use gloves.
– Take breaks on time.
Have an authorised service centre check the
device
– when the blade has hit an object.
– if the device starts to vibrate unusually
severely.
Mowing surfaces with fire hazard
– Carry a sufficient amount of suitable extin-
guishing agent.
– If side inclination is too great, fuel may leak
from the carburetor or the tank. This poses a
fire hazard!
– Observe the mowed surface also after mov-
ing is completed to ensure that no fire will
start.
To avoid risk of fire, keep the following com-
ponents free of dirt, grass, hay, leaking oil,
grease, etc.:
– Engine
– Silencer (manifold, guard, clearances)
– Area around the fuel tank
Caution when mowing slopes
Fig.3:
Risk of injury during mowing on slopes due to
tipping over or sliding.
– Mow on steep terrain only when safe opera-
tion can be guaranteed.
– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
– Take suitable precautions on steep slopes,
e.g. by using step irons.
– Always mow crossways to the slope, never
upwards or downwards.
– Always pay attention to step safely, wear
non-slip safety shoes.
– Be extremely cautious when changing the
direction.
– Mow only when the ground is dry and has a
good grip.

away. Park the device on level ground only
and secure it against rolling away.
