Caution! Risk of electrocution from damaged cables
The fuse does not always respond if the cable is cut
or damaged.
Do not touch the cable before the plug has been remo-
ved from the plug socket.
Damaged cables should be replaced completelyIt is pro-
hibited to mend the cable using insulating tape.
Repairs to the cable should only be undertaken by an expert
(see „Faults and how to remedy", page 12).
Attach the cable to the tension relief unit. Do not let it rub up
against edges, points or sharp items.
Do not squash the cable by putting it through door gaps or
gaps in windows.
Switching devices must not be removed or bridged out
(e.g.strapping the switching lever to the guide bar).
Use only extension cables with a minimum cross-section of
3 x 1.5 mm2 and a length of max. 25 m:
–
When using rubber-sheathed cables, they must be of
type HO 7 RN-F or heavier.
10
–
When using PVC-sheathed cables, they must be of type
HO5 VV-F or heavier (cables of this type are not suitable for
continuous outdoor use - e.g. underground installation for
the connection of an outdoor socket or pond pump, or
outdoor storage).
The cables must be water spray protected.
Starting up
Only switch on motor when your feet are at a safe distance
from the cutting tools.
Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the motor, unless
the lawnmower has to be tilted when starting. If that is the
case, do not tip the lawnmower more than absolutely neces-
sary, and only lift the part furthest removed from the user. Al-
ways ensure that both hands are in the operating position
before replacing the lawnmower on the ground.

Warning, Danger! Cutting tool is lagging!
Adhere to the safety distance given by the guidance spars.
Never put your hands or feet near the rotating parts.
Always keep away from the ejection opening.
Only switch on motor when your feet are at a safe distance
from the cutting tools.
If possible, avoid the use of the unit when the grass is wet

Always make sure that you have a safe footing, especially on
slopes. Never run, always walk slowly.
