f Never operate the appliance with defective
guards or shields, or without safety devices,
for example deflectors and/or grass catchers
in place.
f Working on banks can be dangerous.
– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
– Always be sure of your footing on slopes or
wet grass.
– Mow across the face of slopes – never up
and down.
– Exercise extreme caution when changing di-
rection on slopes.
f Use extreme caution when stepping back or
pulling the machine towards you.
f Never mow by pulling the mower towards
you.
f Stop the blades if the machine has to be tilt-
ed for transportation when crossing surfaces
other than grass and when transporting the
machine to and from the area to be mowed.
f Do not tilt the machine when starting or
switching on the motor, except if the ma-
chine has to be tilted for starting in long
grass. In this case, do not tilt if more than ab-
solutely necessary and tilt only the part
which is away from the operator. Always en-
sure that both hands are in the operating po-
sition before returning the machine to the
ground.
f Switch on the motor according to the in-
structions with feet well away from rotating
parts.
f Do not put hands or feet near or under rotat-
ing parts.
f Always stand clear of the discharge zone
when operating the machine.
f Never pick up or carry the machine while the
motor is running.
Remove the isolator key:
– whenever you leave the machine,
– before clearing a blockage,
– before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine,
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for damage and make repairs as
necessary,
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally
(check immediately).
Maintenance
f Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be
sure that the machine is in safe working con-
dition.
f Check the grass catcher frequently for wear
or deterioration.
f Examine the machine and replace worn or
damaged parts for safety.
f Ensure replacement cutting means of the
right type are used.
f Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch
approved.
f Always wear gardening gloves when handling
or working near the sharp blades.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
f Ensure the switch is in the off position be-
fore inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into machines that have the
switch on invites accidents.
f Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in the battery
charger increases the risk of an electric
shock.
f Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
f Do not charge other batteries. The battery
charger is suitable only for charging Bosch
lithium ion batteries within the listed voltage
range. Otherwise there is danger of fire and
explosion.
f Keep the battery charger clean. Contamina-
tion can lead to danger of an electric shock.
