involving other persons and/or their property.
Preliminary measures
a) Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers when mowing. Never mow bare-
foot or in sandals.
b) Check the ground on which the equipment
will be used and remove all objects that could
be caught up or violently fl ung out.
c) Before using the scythe, visually inspect it
to ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and
the entire cutting apparatus are in good wor-
king order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To
prevent any imbalance, replace worn out or
damaged blades and mounting bolts as a set
only (if applicable).
d) Remember that if the machine has several
cutting tools, the movement of one cutting
tool may result in the other cutting tools star-
ting to rotate.
Handling
a) Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit condi-
tions.
b) Do not use the machine on wet grass.
c) Always maintain good footing on inclines.
d) Only operate the machine at a walking pace.
e) Always mow across hills i.e. never straight up
or straight down.
f)
Be particularly careful when you change di-
rection on a slope.
g) Do not mow on overly steep inclines.
h) Always be extra careful when turning the mo-
wer around and when pulling it towards you.
i)
Switch the mower off , pull the plug and wait
until the cutters have reached a complete
standstill if you need to tip the mower over,
transport it over surfaces other than grass
and if the mower has to be moved from and to
the area you wish to mow.
j)
Never use the lawn mower if the guards are
damaged or without the attached guards, e.g.
defl ectors and/or grass catching devices.
k) Use the ON/OFF switch carefully as descri-
bed in the manufacturer's instructions. Make
sure that your feet are far enough away from
the mower blade!
l)
The lawn mower should not be tilted when the
motor is switch on unless it has to be raised
for starting purposes. In this case, tilt it as little
as absolutely necessary and only raise the
side opposite to that of the user.
m) Do not switch on the mower if you are positi-

oned in front of the chute.
n) Never move your hands or feet toward or un-
der any rotating parts. Keep clear of the chute
opening at all times.
o) Never lift or carry a lawn mower with the engi-
ne running.
p) Switch off the motor and pull the power plug:
- before you dislodge any blockages or clogs
in the chute.
- before carrying out any checks, cleaning,
maintenance or other work on the lawn mo-
wer.
- if you have struck a foreign object. Examine
the mower for signs of damage and carry out
any necessary repairs before restarting and
continuing to work with the mower.
- if the lawn mower begins to experience
exceptionally strong vibrations, immediately
switch it off and check it.
q) Switch off the mower and pull the plug whe-
never you leave the mower.
Maintenance and storage
a) Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
tightened securely and that the machine is in
safe working condition.
b) Allow the mower to cool before you put it into
an enclosed area.
c) To avoid the risk of fi re, keep the motor
housing and ventilation slots clear of grass,
leaves, oil and grease.
d) Routinely check the grass basket for signs of
wear and impaired functionality.
e) For your own safety, have worn or damaged
parts replaced without delay.
f)
Take care not to jam your fi ngers between
moving blades and stationary parts of the
equipment while you are adjusting the equip-
ment.
g) While you are carrying out maintenance work
on the blades, remember that the blades can
still be moved even if the power source has
been switched off .
CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF CORD-
LESS EQUIPMENT
•
Ensure that the equipment is switched off
before you insert the battery. Inserting a
battery into an electric tool that is switched on
can cause accidents.
•
Only charge the batteries in chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer. A
charger that is designed for a certain type of
batteries may pose a fire risk if it is used with
other types of batteries.
