Fill the tank before starting the
motor. Do not open the fuel cap
or pour in petrol when the motor
is running or when the lawn-
GB
mower is hot.
Warning! Allow the engine
A
to cool off for 2 minutes
before refuelling.
Clean the area surrounding the
filler before removing the tank
cap for refuelling. Fill the tank
up to approx. 2.5 cm beneath
the lower edge of the filler neck
so that the fuel has space to
expand. Ensure that the tank is
not overfilled.
If petrol overflows from the tank,
do not attempt to start the motor.
Instead, move the lawnmower
away from the area where you
spilt the petrol. Do not attempt to
start the motor until the petrol
vapours have evaporated.
If you need to empty the fuel
tank, this must be done out-
doors. For safety reasons,
always install a new fuel cap
and other tank caps if they
are damaged.
To prevent injury due to burns
keep the motor / exhaust and
the area around the fuel tank
free of grass, leaves and escap-
ing grease (oil).
Only mow your lawn in daylight
or when your lawn is lit by ample
artificial lighting. If possible,
avoid using the lawnmower when
the grass is wet. Always ensure
you have a sturdy stance when
working on slopes and inclines.
Push the lawnmower at walking
pace. Be particularly careful
when turning the lawnmower or
pulling it towards you. Always
stop the cutting tool before tilting
the lawnmower to move it over
a surface other than grass and
when moving the lawnmower to
20
and from the area of lawn you
are planning to mow.
Never use the lawnmower if the
safety devices or protective
grilles are damaged, or if the
installed safety devices, e. g. baf-
fle plates and / or grass catching
devices have been removed.
Warning! Do not remove
A
or bridge the safety
devices installed by the manu-
facturer. This will prevent the
lawnmower switching off auto-
matically and may cause
serious injury.
Keep your hands and feet away
from the internal housing and
grass ejection chute when the
motor is running.
Always wear sturdy shoes and
long trousers when mowing.
Never mow your lawn when
barefoot or when wearing only
lightweight sandals.
Adjusting the cutting height
The cutting height can be
adjusted in seven stages by
using the locking lever (fig. C,
pos. 6). To adjust the cutting
height, pull the locking lever out
of the notch, push the locking
lever to the required position
(fig. C1) and allow the locking
lever to engage.
Cutting height Stage 1 = 1.6 cm
this position is
only for ornamen-
tal lawns and
especially level
surfaces.
Stage 2 = 2.5 cm
Stage 3 = 3
Stage 4 = 4
Stage 5 = 5
Stage 6 = 6
Stage 7 = 7
Note:
in order to move the stopping
lever to an higher stage more
easily, slightly lift the appliance
up using the housing handle
(fig. C, pos. 4).
Warning! Switch off the
A
motor before adjusting the
cutting height. When setting the
lawnmower to a lower cutting
height, ensure that the blades of
the cutting tool do not touch the
ground if the ground is uneven.
Starting the lawnmower
Carefully start the motor or
press the starter switch accord-
ing to the instructions provided
by the manufacturer. Keep your
feet away from the cutting tool.
Stand the lawnmower on an
even surface.
Check the terrain where you will
be using your lawnmower and
remove all obstacles and objects,
which could get caught and then
ejected.
Warning! Open the valve
A
on the tank cap (fig. J,
pos. 18) or a vacuum will other-
wise be formed in the tank.
To start, set the throttle lever
(fig. A, pos. 12) to position Max.
If the engine is cold, push the
primer 5 times (fig. I, pos. 15),
this is not required if the engine
is warm. The pressing down of
the safety hoop (fig. A, pos. 10)
in the direction of the guide bar
results in the engine being
released for starting, slightly
pull the starter handle (fig. A,
pos. 11) until the starter
engages. Start the engine up
by pulling the starter handle
out fast. Now slowly guide the
cm starter handle back.

handle (fig. A, pos. 10) and the
engine will switch off automati-
cally. Remove the foreign object
if necessary.
