6. Operation

Caution!
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit to
prevent unauthorized use. Directly before starting
up the lawn mover insert the safety plug (Fig. 13)
and remove the safety plug again whenever you
interrupt or terminate your work.
Caution!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-off
(Fig. 12/Item A) which must be pressed before
the button switches (Fig. 12/Item 1) can be acti-
vated. The lawn mower switches itself off when
the button switches are released. Repeat this
process several times so that you are sure that the
machine functions properly. Before you perform
any repair or maintenance work on the equipment,
ensure that the blade is not rotating and that the
safety plug is disconnected.
Caution! Never open the chute fl ap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the motor is still running. A rotating 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!
Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing
swaths.
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.
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows. In the main growing season you will
probably need to mow the lawn twice a week,
otherwise just once a week. The cutting height
should be between 4 - 6cm and the amount of
growth before mowing again should be 4 - 5cm.
If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer
for whatever reason, do not make the mistake of
cutting it back to the normal height in one go. This
will harm the lawn. Never cut it back by more than
half the height in one go.
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 de-
crease 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. Make several passes so that no more
than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on
the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues
to rotate for a few seconds after the motor 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 bla-
de 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 complete stop.
Then inspect the condition of the blade and the
blade mount. Replace any parts that are dama-
ged.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket. Im-
portant! Before taking off the grass basket, switch
off the motor and wait until the blade has come to
a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety rea-
sons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down after
removing the grass basket and closes off the rear
chute opening. If any grass remains in the ope-
