IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before cleaning or performing maintenance work on this lawn mower:
Avoid injuries by observing the following:
Switch OFF the motor.
Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete standstill.
Remove the mains plug.
After working with the appliance
Always unplug the power cord if leaving the lawnmower unattended.
Danger! Never use a lawnmower if it has damaged safety devices or if there
are no safety devices fitted.
Accident Prevention
No person, especial children, or animals should be allowed to stand close to the
mower while it is in use.
Risk of injury due to ejected stones or other objects.
Tripping hazard
Operate the lawn mower at walking speed only.
1) Be particularly careful when mowing in reverse and pulling the appliance
towards you.
2) When mowing on steep slopes, there is a risk of the mower tipping over and
you could be injured as a result. Mow crossways to the slope, never upwards
and downwards. Do not mow on inclines greater than 20 degrees.
3) Be particularly careful when changing direction and always maintain a stable
position.
4) Mowing along perimeters involves a risk of injury. Mowing near edges,
hedges, or steep inclines is dangerous. Keep a safe distance from perimeters
when mowing.
5) If the ground is wet the mower could slip due to reduced traction and
overturn. Mow only when the grass is dry.
6) Work only by daylight or in good artificial lighting.
Injury Prevention
1) Always maintain a safe distance from the rotating blade by holding and
standing behind the steering handle.
2) Never place your hands, feet, or other parts of the body near rotating parts.
3) Stop the motor when the lawnmower has to be tilted and when travelling over
surfaces other than grass for transporting.
4) Never lift or carry the machine when the motor is running. Remove the
mains plug from the outlet before hand.
5) Switch off the motor and take out the mains plug when releasing jambs,
removing blockages in the ejection channel or before checking, cleaning,
transporting, adjusting or working on the lawnmower.
6) If you remove the grass catcher, you or other persons might get injured due
to ejected, mowed materials or foreign objects.
