Starting:
Exercise care when starting the machine
and observe the instructions contained in
the section entitled "Operating the
machine" (Ö 11.). Starting the machine in
accordance with these instructions
reduces the risk of injury.
Risk of injury!
If the starter rope recoils at speed, the
hand and arm will be pulled towards the
engine faster than the starter rope can be
released. This kickback can result in
broken bones, crush injuries and sprains.
Keep your feet a safe distance from the
cutting tool when starting the machine.
The machine must not be tilted during
start-up.
The self-propulsion lever must not be
pressed when starting the engine.
Working on slopes:
Always work across and back on slopes,
never up and down.
If the user loses control when mowing up
and down, there is a risk of being run over
by the machine.
Be particularly careful when changing
direction on a slope.
Always ensure good stability on slopes
and avoid mowing on excessively steep
slopes.
For safety reasons, the machine must not
be used on slopes with an inclination of
more than 25° (46.6%). Risk of injury!
A slope inclination of 25° corresponds to a
vertical height increase of 46.6 cm for a
100 cm horizontal distance.
In order to ensure an adequate oil supply
for the engine, the information in the
accompanying engine instruction manual
must be additionally observed when using
the machine on slopes.
Working:
Do not try to examine the blade
while the lawn mower is
operating. Rotating blades can
cause injury.
Only operate the machine at walking
speed – never run when working with the
machine. Working quickly with the
machine increases the risk of injury due to
stumbling, slipping, etc.
Be particularly careful when turning the
machine around or pulling it towards you.
Risk of stumbling!
Use the machine with great care when
working near slopes, terraces, ditches and
embankments. In particular, ensure that
you maintain sufficient distance to such
danger areas.
Objects hidden in the turf (lawn sprinkler
systems, posts, water valves, foundations,
electrical wires, etc.) must be avoided.
Never run over any such foreign objects.
Beware of the cutting tool
running on for several seconds
before coming to a standstill.
Switch off the engine, allow the
work tool to come to a complete
standstill and detach the spark plug socket
before leaving the machine unattended,
before re-filling the tank. Allow the
engine to cool down before filling the
tank.
Fire hazard!
before remedying blockages, including
those in the mowing deck housing,
before lifting or carrying the machine,
before transporting the machine,
before carrying out any work on the
mowing blade,
before checking or cleaning the
machine or before carrying out any
other work (e.g. folding down the
handlebar) on it,
after hitting a foreign object or if the
lawn mower begins to vibrate
excessively. In these cases check the
machine, in particular the cutting unit
(blade, blade shaft, blade fastening) for
damage and carry out the necessary
repairs before restarting and working
with the machine.
Risk of injury!
Never place your hands or feet
above, underneath or on rotating
parts.
