marked with either "H05 RN-F" or "H05 VV-F".
Check it before every use for damage, always
uncoil it during use because coiled cords can
overheat. Damaged extension cords should
not be repaired, they should be replaced with
an equivalent type.
Before use check the supply and extension
■
cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord
becomes damaged during use, disconnect
the cord from the supply immediately. Do
not touch the cord before disconnecting the
supply. Do not use the product if the cord is
damaged or worn.
Electrical power should be supplied via a
■
residual current device (RCD) with a tripping
current of not more than 30 mA.
Make sure the power cord is positioned so that
■
it cannot be damaged by the cutting means
and will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Power plugs must match the outlet. Never
■
modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid unintentional starting. Always check
■
that the switch is in off position before
plugging in the product to the power supply.
Do not carry a plugged in product with your
finger on the switch.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
■
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Never pick up or carry the product by the
■
electric cable.
Never pull by the power cord to disconnect
■
from the power supply.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil
■
and sharp edges.
Make sure that the voltage is correct for
■
your product. A nameplate on the product
indicates the product's voltage. Never
connect the product to an AC voltage that
differs from this voltage.

Original Instructions
Bring the product to an authorised service
■
centre to replace damaged or unreadable
labels.
Do not pull the product backwards unless
■
absolutely necessary. If you must back the
product away from a wall or obstruction, first
look down and behind to avoid tripping or
pulling the product over your feet.
Turn off the product and allow the blade
■
to stop if the product has to be tilted for
transportation
when
other than grass, and when transporting the
product to and from the work area.
Never use the product with defective guards
■
or shields, or without safety devices, such
as deflectors and grass catchers, in place.
Do not tilt the product when switching on
■
the motor or while the motor is running. If
absolutely necessary, you may raise the
front of the lawn mower by no more than
5 cm to enable easier starting. Press down
on the handlebar to achieve this. Always
return the mower to its normal position with
all wheels on the ground before cutting.
Tilting the lawnmower exposes the blade

being thrown and accidental contact with
the blade.

■
front of the grass discharge opening.
The product must be started with the user
■
behind the handlebars in the operator safety
zone. Never start the product if:

and is not protected by the grass catcher
and grass discharge chute cover.

●
clear of the cutting enclosure.
Turn on the product carefully according to
■
the instructions, and keep hands and feet
away from the blades. Do not put hands or
feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
Never pick up or carry the product while it
■
is running.
Turn off the product and disconnect it from
■
the power supply. Make sure that all moving
