Safe operation
DANGER ● Check that the
blade, blade bolts and blade unit
are undamaged each time be-
fore using the device. ● Never
lock the On/Off switch in the ON
position, this is extremely dan-
gerous. ● Pull the device back-
wards only when absolutely
necessary. If you need to pull
the device away from a wall or
obstacle, first pull downwards to
prevent yourself from stumbling
or pulling the device over your
feet. ● Danger of coming into
contact with the open blade or
being hit by flung objects. Do not
tip the device when starting the
motor or while the motor is run-
ning. If tipping is absolutely nec-
essary, e.g. to make starting
easier, then you can raise the
front of the device by 5 cm.
Press the handle carefully
downwards for this. You must
return the device to the normal
operating position (i.e. all four
wheels on the ground) before
starting to mow. ● Knives that
come into contact with a live ca-
ble may energize exposed metal
parts of the device and cause an
electric shock.
WARNING ● The blades on
the device are sharp. Wear stur-
dy protective gloves and work
carefully when installing, replac-
ing, cleaning or checking the
seating of screws.

● Replace worn or damage
parts as a complete set to main-
tain the correct balance. ● En-
sure that the device is in a safe
condition by regularly checking
that all bolts, nuts and screws
are screwed tight. ● Replace
any worn or damaged parts be-
fore operating the device.
● Never use the device if the on/
off switch on the handle does
not switch on and off correctly.
● Do not forcefully operate the
device. ● Stop the motor, in or-
der to stop the blade when
transporting the device to and
from the mowing area or when
tipping the device for crossing
ground that is not covered with
grass. ● Stop the blade before
crossing gravel surfaces. ● Nev-
er use the device with defective
or absent protective devices,
such as e.g. deflectors and/or
the grass catcher. ● Do not bring
your hands or feet in the vicinity
of, or underneath rotating parts.
Switch the motor on according
to the operating instructions.
● Never lift or carry the device
while the motor is running. ● Un-
even terrain carries an in-
creased risk of slipping and
accidents. Avoid holes, furrows,
uneven areas, stones and other
hidden objects. ● Start the de-
vice only when you are posi-
tioned in the safe area behind
the handle.
