6.3 Before mowing
Important information:
1. Make sure that you are properly dressed
when mowing. Wear sturdy footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. Blades, that are bent or
otherwise damaged, must be exchanged for a
genuine Einhell replacement blade.
3. Do not fi ll the fuel tank indoors, but rather out
in the open. Use a funnel and a measuring
vessel. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4. Read and follow in the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equip-
ment. Store the manual in a place where it
can be readily accessed by other users of the
equipment.
5. Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the en-
gine out in the open.
6. Make sure that all the guards are fi tted and
that they are in good working order.
7. The equipment should only be operated by
persons who are well informed with the way it
works and who are in reasonably good physi-
cal condition.
8. Mowing wet grass can be dangerous. Mow
the grass when it is as dry as possible.
9. Tell other persons and children to stay away
from the mower.
10. Never mow in conditions of poor visibility.
11. Pick up any loose objects and debris on the
lawn prior to mowing.
6.4 Tips on mowing properly
Important. Never open the chute fl ap when
the grass bag has been detached to be emp-
tied and the motor is still running. The rota-
ting blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers. Always mow along the incline (not
up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be
used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
6.5 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.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
The swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more diffi cult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. If necessary, mow a number of times
so that you never cut more than 4cm of grass in
one go.
Switch off the engine before doing any checks on
the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues
to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has
been switched off . Never attempt to manually
stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the
blade is securely attached, is in good condition
and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen
the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade
strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn
mower and wait for the blade to come to a com-
plete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade
and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are
damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:
1. Pay attention to ensure that you do not run
into or over anything that could damage the
mower. The lawn mower could be damaged
