Preparations:
• Always wear slip-resistant shoes and
long trousers when mowing. Do not
mow barefoot or in light sandals. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get
caught in moving parts. Wearing suita-
ble clothing reduces the risk of injuries.
• Check the terrain on which the device
will be used and remove all objects
(e.g. stones, sticks, wires, toys) which
may be drawn into the device and
ejected.
• Warning: Petrol is highly flammable. Fire
or explosions can lead to severe burns:
- Store petrol only in the specially pro-
vided containers;
- Refuel only in open areas and never
smoke while refuelling the device;
- Petrol has to be added before start-
ing the engine. The fuel tank cap
must not be opened and petrol must
not be added while the engine is
running or the device is still hot.
- If there was an accidental petrol
spill, do not attempt to start the
engine. Instead, remove the device
from the petrol contaminated sur-
face. Do not try to ignite the engine
until all petrol vapours have evapo-
rated;
- If the fuel tank or other tank caps are
damaged, replace them for safety
reasons.
• Replace defective mufflers.
• Before use, always perform a visual
inspection to check whether the cutting
tools, fastening bolts and the entire
cutting unit are worn out or damaged.
Worn or damaged tools and bolts must
only be replaced as a set to prevent
imbalance.
• Take care when using devices with
several cutting tools as the movement
of one blade can lead to rotation of the
other blades.
• Use replacement and accessory parts
supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer only. Using externally
produced parts can cause injury, and
void any warranty claims.
Operation:
• Never let the internal combustion
engine run in a confined space, as
dangerous carbon monoxide can ac-
cumulate.
• Use the machine only in daylight or
with good artificial lighting. Working
in areas without lighting can result in
accidents.
• Do not work with the device if there
is a risk of lightning strike. Danger of
electric shock.
• Caution! The exhaust gases from the
lawnmower contain toxic substances.
• Avoid operating the machine in poor
weather conditions, especially when
there is a lightning hazard.
• If possible, do not use the device on
wet grass.
• Always ensure secure positioning, par-
ticularly on hillsides, landfills, ditches
or dykes. This will help you to have bet-
ter control of the device in unexpected
situations.
