Tips for proper mowing:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over
anything that could damage the mower. The lawn mower
could be damaged and/or the machine could inict bodily
injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if
touched. Thus, do not touch these parts unless the mower
has been switched off for a while and you know that they
have cooled down!
• Insu cient daylight or even a su cient level of arti-cial light
is one reason not to mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have
struck a foreign object or if the machine vi-brates more
than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine
has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.(22).
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a
street or are close by one (traffic). Always keep the grass
chute pointed away from the street.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble
gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other way.
• Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind
you especially little children, who are more difficult to see.
• When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest
cutting level and mow at a slower speed.
• Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind,
switch off he engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never ll the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.
Mowing
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will
prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from
turning yellow.
