Working with the Equipment:
Do not place feet or hands
near or under rotating parts
when working. Risk of injury!
• Switch on the motor accord-
ing to the instructions and only
when your feet are at a safe
distance from the cutting tools.
• Do not use the equipment in
the rain, in poor weather, in a
damp environment, or on wet
grass. Work only in daylight or
with good lighting.
• Do not work with the equipment
when tired, lacking concentra-
tion or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Always take
breaks in good time. Take a
sensible approach to the work.
• When working, ensure a firm
stance, particularly on slopes.
Always work across the slope,
never upwards or downwards.
Take particular care when
changing the direction of travel
on the slope. Do not work on
excessively steep slopes.
• Run the equipment only at a
walking pace. Take particular
care when turning the equip-
ment around, pulling it towards
you or going backwards.
• Switch on the equipment care-
fully and in accordance with
the directions in these instruc-
tions. Ensure sufficient distance
between feet and the rotating
blades.
• Do not tilt the equipment when
starting other than if it is nec-
essary to do so when starting
up in long grass. In this case,
tilt the equipment by pressing
down the handle bar such that
the front wheels of the equip-
ment are raised. Always check
that both hands are in the work-
ing position before returning the
equipment to the ground.
• Do not work without the grass
box or collision guard. Keep
away from the ejection hole at
all times.
• Do not start the motor when
standing in front of the dis-
charge chute.
Caution! Danger! The blade
continues to run after switch-
ing off. There is a risk of in-
jury.
• The equipment is not to be lifted
or transported while the motor
is running. Switch off the equip-
ment if it has to be tilted in
transit, when crossing surfaces
other than grass, and when the
equipment is being transported
to and from the surfaces to be
mowed.
• Always keep the grass ejection
