Checks before each operation:
Before use, an inspection is always to be
performed in order to determine that all nuts, bolts
and working tools are not worn down or damaged.
Worn down or damaged blades are to be replaced
in sets.
Do not use the battery lawnmower if safety devices
(switch handle, safety key, start button, cover for
cutting mechanism) and/or the cutting blade is
damaged or worn. Never operate the unit with the
safety devices bypassed or missing.
Inspect the surface on which the lawnmower is to
be used beforehand. Stones, pieces of wood and
wires, as well as other solid matter, must be
removed.
Objects, which are contacted by the blade, could
be thrown out uncontrollably or damage the cutting
mechanism.
Proper use / Responsibility:
Warning ! Take note that the rotating blade
could cause injuries
Never place your hands or feet on or
under moving parts.
Do not touch the blades before the disabling
device has been removed and the blades have
come to a complete stop.
Do not use the lawnmower while people, especially
children or animals, are directly nearby. The
operator is liable for damages.
When mowing embankments and slopes, special
care is to be taken:
make sure you always have a safety distance
and wear shoes with a non-slip slole and long
trousers. Always cut diagonally to the slope.
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.
Take special care when moving backwards and
when pulling the lawnmower. Danger of stumbling!
If, despite taking precautions, you stike an object
when working or the lawnmower starts to vibrate
vigorously, release the switch handle. Remove the
key and the battery from the socket. Remove the
blockage, check the lawnmower for any damage
and have it repaired if necessary.
Only work when visibility is good.
Never leave the battery lawnmower unattended. If
you interrupt your work, remove the key and store
the lawnmower in a safe place.
Guide the lawnmower at a walking pace only.
