• When working, ensure a firm
stance, particularly on slopes.
This enables you to control the
equipment better in unexpect-
ed situations.
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.
There is a risk of personal in-
jury.
• Switch on the equipment
carefully and in accordance
with the directions in these
instructions. Ensure sufficient
distance between feet and the
rotating blades. Contact with
the cutter can result in injury.
• 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 press-
ing down the handle bar such
that the front wheels of the
equipment are raised. Always
check that both hands are in
the working position before
returning the equipment to the
ground.
•
Do not work without the grass
bag or collision guard. Keep
away from the ejection hole at
all times.
• Do not start the motor when
standing in front of the emis-
sion duct.
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 equipment 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
hole clean and clear. Remove
cut material only when the
equipment is stopped.
• Do not leave the equipment
unattended in the workplace.
• Do not work with equipment
that is damaged, incomplete,
or has been modified without
the authorisation of the manu-
facturer. Do not use the equip-
ment with damaged safety
devices or screens or with
missing safety equipment such
as deflection and/or grass col-
lection devices.
• Do not overload the equip-
ment. Work only within the
specified power range and do
not change the regulator set-
tings on the motor. Do not use
low-powered machines for
heavy work. Do not use your
equipment for purposes other
than those for which it is de-
signed.
• Do not use the equipment near
inflammable liquids or gases.
Non-observance will result in a
risk of fire or explosion.
