• Do not tilt the lawn mower when you start the en-
gine unless the mower must raised off of the ground
a little in order to start it. In the latter case, tilt the
mower as little as absolutely necessary and only
raise the side opposite to that of the user.
• Never start the engine while standing in front of the
chute.
• Never move your hands or feet toward or under any
rotating parts. Keep clear of the chute opening at
all times.
• Never lift or carry a lawn mower with the engine
running.
• Switch off the engine and pull the spark plug boot
and make sure that all moving parts have come to
a standstill:
- Before you dislodge any blockages or clogs in
the chute.
- Before carrying out any checks, cleaning, main-
tenance or other work on the lawn mower
- If the lawn mower strikes a foreign body, examine
it for signs of damage and carry out any neces-
sary repairs before restarting and continuing to
work with the mower. If the lawn mower begins
to experience exceptionally strong vibrations, im-
mediately switch it off and check it.
• Switch off the engine:
- When you leave the lawn mower.
- Before you refuel.
• Operation of the machine at higher than normal
speed can lead to an increased risk of accidents.
• Take care when carrying out installation work on
the machine, and avoid trapping ngers between
the moving cutting tool and the xed parts of the
machine.
• Please be particularly careful when mowing on
ground that may subside, on nearby landlls,
trenches and embankments.
• The user must be adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine (including
prohibited operations).
• Check the machine regularly and ensure that all
start locks and push buttons are working properly
before each use.
• Please note that improper maintenance, the use of
inappropriate spare parts, or the removal or modi-
cation of safety devices can result in damage to the
machine and serious injury to the person working
with it.
• Please note that the lawnmower‘s safety systems
or devices must not be manipulated or deactivated.
• Please note that the user must not change or ma-
nipulate any sealed engine speed control settings.
• Only use cutting equipment and accessories rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. The use of other
tools and accessories may result in injury to the
operator.
• Always keep the lawnmower in good operating con-
dition.
• If petrol has overowed, do not under any circum-
stances attempt to start the engine. Instead, re-
move the machine from the affected area. Avoid
starting the engine until the petrol fumes have com-
pletely evaporated.
• For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank
closures must be replaced if they are damaged.
• Never store petrol near a source of sparks. Always
use a tested canister. Keep petrol away from chil-
dren.
• Replace defective mufers.
• Before using the mower, visually inspect it to en-
sure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire
cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e.
not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbal-
ance, replace worn out or damaged blades and
mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).
• Please note that where a mower has more than one
blade, the rotation of one of the blades can cause
the others to rotate as well.
Handling
• Do not let the combustion engine run in enclosed
areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide gas can
build up.
• Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.
Avoid using the machine on wet grass as far as
possible.
• Do not use the lawn mower in a thunderstorm - risk
of lightning strike!
• Always maintain good footing on inclines.
• Only operate the machine at a walking pace.
• For machines with wheels: Always mow across hills
i.e. never straight up or straight down.
• Be particularly careful when you change direction
on a slope.
• Do not mow on excessively steep slopes and near-
by garbage dumps, ditches or dykes. Always be
extra careful when turning the mower around and
when pulling it towards you.
• Switch off the lawn mower and ensure that the
blade has stopped rotating whenever the mower
has to be tilted for transporting over areas other
than lawns and whenever it has to be moved from
or to the area you want to mow.
• Never use the lawn mower if the blade or safe-
ty grilles are damaged, or without the attached
guards, e.g. deectors and/or grass catching de-
vices.
• Do not adjust or overclock the engine speed set-
tings.
• Release the engine brake before you start the en-
gine.
• Start the engine with care, in accordance with the
manufacturerʼs instructions. Make sure that your
feet are far enough away from the mower blade!
