7.1 Before mowing

Important information:
1. Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy footwear; do not wear
sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. Blades, that are bent or
otherwise damaged, must be exchanged for a
genuine Einhell replacement blade.
3. Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in
the open. Use a funnel and a measuring vessel.
Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4. Read and follow in the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equipment.
Store the manual in a place where it can be
readily accessed by other users of the machine.
5. Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine
out in the open.
6. Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that
they are in good working order.
7. The machine should only be operated by persons
who are well informed with the way it works and
who are in reasonably good physical condition.
8. Mowing wet grass can be dangerous. Mow the
grass when it is as dry as possible.
9. Tell other persons and children to stay away from
the mower.
10. Never mow in conditions of poor visibility.
11. Pick up any loose objects and debris on the lawn
prior to mowing.
7.2 Tips on mowing properly
Important. Never open the chute flap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the engine is still running. The rotating blade
can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the mower housing. Be especially careful
when mowing and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always mow
along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
7.3 Mowing
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This
will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The
swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it
more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the
quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine
to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up
and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from
slipping down by holding a position at an angle
upwards. Select the cutting height according to the
length of the grass. If necessary, mow a number of
times so that you never cut more than 4cm of grass in
one go.
Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the
blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine has been switched
off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely
attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the
contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it.
In the event that the blade strikes an object,
immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for
