¾ Do not use any mower whose switch is
defective and which can no longer be
switched on or off. It must be repaired by a
qualified expert or workshop.
¾ Remove any adjustment tools or spanners
before switching the mower on. Injuries
could be caused by a tool or spanner that is left
attached to the rotating mower blade.
¾ Check the connection cable and any
extension cable that may be connected to the
mower for damage and aging (brittleness).
Only use the cable if it is free from defects.
Damaged cables must be repaired by a qualified
electrician or workshop.
¾ Never use a lawnmower with damaged or
missing safety equipment such as a deflector
flap and / or grass collector, casing, etc. They
must be repaired or replaced by a qualified expert
or workshop.
¾ Check the deflector flap for brittleness and
correct seating.
¾ Before mowing, make sure that the lawn is
free from branches, stones, wire etc. and look
out for such objects the whole time when
mowing.
¾ Regularly check the grass collector for wear
and to ensure it is in good working order.
¾ Visually inspect the mower blade to check
that it is not blunt, damage or deformed.
Tips for use
¾ Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are
standing securely and that you maintain your
balance at all times. Do not run, rather walk
forwards at a steady pace. This will ensure that
you can maintain better control of the lawnmower
if unexpected situations occur.
¾ Do not use the lawnmower in an explosive
environment, where there are inflammable
liquids, gases or dusts. The lawnmower may
create sparks, which could ignite the dust or
vapours.

Safety information
¾ Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting-up
or switching the motor on unless the mower
must be raised while doing so. In this case
only tip the lawnmower as far as is absolutely
necessary and only lift the side that is away from
the user.
¾ Maintain the safety distance that is defined by
the handle.
¾ Under the following circumstances, switch
the lawnmower off and pull out the plug. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill:
• If leaving the lawnmower unattended;
• When clearing a blocked mower blade;
• If checking, cleaning or working on the lawn-
mower;
• If you have mowed over a foreign body (check
whether lawnmower or mower blade have been
damaged);
• If the lawnmower is vibrating strongly because
it is out of balance;
• If the power cable is damaged during use.
¾ Take extra care if you are mowing backwards
and pulling the lawnmower towards you.
¾ Switch the lawnmower off, if you need to tilt
or transport it, e.g. between lawns or over
paths.
¾ Do not stand in front of the grass ejector
opening. Otherwise you could be caught up in
the mower blade or hit by the ejected grass.
¾ Never leave the lawnmower unattended
during breaks and store it in a secure
location.
¾ Before lifting or carrying the lawnmower
away, switch the motor off, pull out the power
plug and wait until the mower blade has come
to a standstill.
¾ Only adjust the cutting height with the
motor switched off and the mower blade at a
standstill.
¾ Before removing the grass collector, switch
the motor off and wait until the mower blade
comes to a standstill. After emptying the grass
collector, attach it carefully and make sure that it
is securely fixed to the lawnmower.
¾ Never open the deflector flap if the motor is
still running.
