• Wear suitable work clothing such as
stable shoes with non-slip soles and
robust, long trousers. Do not use the
equipment when barefoot or when
wearing open sandals.
• Before each use, carry out a visual in-
spection of the equipment. Do not use
the equipment if protective devices
(e.g. collision guard or grass bag),
parts of the cutting device or bolts are
missing, worn or damaged. To avoid
imbalance, damaged tools and bolts
are to be replaced only in sets.
• Take care with equipment that has
several cutting tools, as the move-
ment of one blade may result in the
rotation of the other blades.
• Use only spare parts and accessories
supplied and recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of non-original
parts will immediately invalidate the
guarantee.
Working with the Equipment:
Do not place feet or hands near or
under rotating parts when working.
Risk of injury!
Observe the noise protection and
local regulations. The use of the
equipment may be restricted or
prohibited on certain days (e.g.
Sundays and public holidays), at
certain times of day (lunchtimes,
nighttimes) or in certain areas (e.g.
health resorts, hospitals etc.).
• Switch on the motor according to the
instructions and only when your feet
are at a safe distance from the cutting
tools.
• Do not use the equipment in the rain,
in poor weather, in a damp environ-
ment, or on wet grass. Work only in
daylight or with good lighting.
• Do not work with the equipment when
tired, lacking concentration or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Al-
ways take breaks in good time. Take a
sensible approach to the work.
• When working, ensure a firm stance,
particularly on slopes. Always work
across the slope, never upwards or
downwards. Take particular care when
changing the direction of travel on the
slope. Do not work on excessively
steep slopes.
• Run the equipment only at a walking
pace. Take particular care when turn-
ing the equipment around, pulling it
towards you or going backwards.
• Switch on the equipment carefully and
in accordance with the directions in
these instructions. Ensure sufficient
distance between feet and the rotating
blades.
• Do not tilt the equipment when start-
ing other than if it is necessary to do
so when starting up in long grass. In
this case, tilt the equipment by press-
ing down the handle bar such that
the front wheels of the equipment are
raised. Always check that both hands
are in the working position before re-
turning the equipment to the ground.
• Do not work without the grass box or
collision guard. Keep away from the
ejection hole at all times.
Caution! Danger! The blade contin-
ues to run after switching off.
There is a risk of injury.
• The equipment is not to be lifted or
transported while the motor is running.
Switch off the equipment if it has to be
tilted in transit, when crossing surfaces
other than grass, and when the equip-
ment is being transported to and from
the surfaces to be mowed.
• Always keep the grass ejection hole
clean and clear. Remove cut material
only when the equipment is stopped.
