– before you loosen blockages or remove blockages in the discharge
channel;
– if a foreign body has been hit;
– if a fault occurs;
– if the machine starts to vibrate unusually.
• If a foreign object has been encountered or if the machine becomes
blocked, e.g. by driving onto an obstacle, a specialist dealer must check whether
parts of the machine have been damaged or deformed. Any necessary repairs
must also be carried out by an authorized specialist workshop.
• If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises,
please have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Heavy vibrations on your hands can damage your health. Please contact an
authorised workshop immediately if heavy vibrations occur.
Switch off the motor by releasing the cutter safety control bar and make
sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop,
– if you have to lift or tilt the machine, e.g. for transport purposes;
– if you transport the machine to and from the mowing surface again
and again;
– when driving outside the lawn;
– if you leave the machine for a short time;
– when you wish to adjust the cutting height;
– before you remove the grass collecting bag;
• WARNING
The noise and vibration levels shown in these operating instructions are the
maximum levels for use of the machine.
The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and
vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate
possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks while
working.
Adhere to the maintenance work listed in this operating manual and have the
equipment checked and serviced regularly by an authorised workshop.

Maintenance and storage

• Insufficient equipment maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
• Ensure that all screws have been tightened securely and that the machine
is in a safe working condition.
The ejection flap may only be opened and the grass collecting bag
removed with the motor switched off and the mowing blade at a standstill.
Before you start mowing, always check the grass collecting equipment for
wear or loss of functionality.
Before you start mowing, always check the condition and firm attachment
of the cutting blade. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened
by an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the
blade fastening and cutter bar can become damaged or loose which can
lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must always be
replaced.
Replacement, sharpening and balancing of the cutting blade bar must
always be carried out by an authorised workshop.
If the cutter fastening is assembled incorrectly, the cutter bar can become
loose, which can lead to serious injuries.
An improperly ground and imbalanced cutting blade can cause strong
vibrations and damage the lawn mower.
• For reasons of safety, always replace worn or damaged parts.
• Never clean the tool under running water or using high-pressure cleaners. The
electrical system could become damaged.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level surfaces
with the motor switched off and the safety key removed.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top performance.
Always store the equipment in a clean state in a closed, dry room and
inaccessible to children.
Always remove the battery and the safety key before storing the machine
in order to prevent unauthorised actuation of the machine.
For reasons of warranty and safety, only genuine spare parts may be used.
Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
