Work instructions

Comply with local regulations on the operation of
lawnmowers.
„ Carefully check the entire area to be mowed; re-
move all foreign bodies
„ Only mow when no other persons are in the work-
ing area
„ Only mow when visibility is good
„ Only operate the machine at walking pace
„ Only mow with a sharp cutting blade
„ Do not mow over obstacles
(e.g. twigs, tree roots)
„ On sloping ground, always mow across the slope.
Do not mow up or down the slope, or on slopes with
a gradient of more than 20°
„ Exercise particular care when changing direction
on slopes
Tips for mowing
„ Start mowing as close as possible to the power
socket
„ Always keep the extension lead on the section of
lawn already mowed
„ Maintain a constant cutting height of 3–5 cm; do not
mow the grass to less than half its original height
„ Do not overload the lawnmower. If the motor speed
drops noticeably because of long, thick grass,
increase the cutting height and mow in several
passes
„ Mow in the morning or late afternoon to prevent the
freshly cut lawn from drying out
„ During phases of strong growth, mow twice a week;
during dry periods, increase the intervals between
mowing accordingly
