Operating instructions – Lawn mower with IC engine
– 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%.
– Be particularly careful when
changing the direction and
always pay attention to a good
position.
– 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.
– If the ground is wet the mower
could slip due to reduced traction
and overturn. Mow only when the
grass is dry.
– Work only by daylight or in good
artificial lighting.
Injury

from the rotating tool by means of
the steering handle.
– The working area of the operator
is behind the steering handle
during operation.
– Never place your hands, feet,
or other parts of the body near
rotating parts.

weather conditions, e.g. if there
is a probability of rain or a storm.

the engine from being started
unintentionally: Remove ignition
key (if used), remove starter
battery from the engine, leave

remove the spark-plug terminal,
– before you clear the ejector of
blockages and other
hindrances,
– before you check, clean, or
configure the lawn mower or
perform any work on it,
– immediately after a foreign
object is hit. Check the
appliance for damage, and
have any damage repaired

blades, never stand in front of
grass ejection holes.
Lawn mowers with grass catchers:
