• Please keep your machine in a safe place! Machines which are not being used should be kept in a dry, locked room out
of reach of children.
Preparatory measures
• When mowing you must always wear a strong pair of shoes or safety shoes and long trousers. Avoid wearing loose
clothing or clothing with cords or belts hanging down. Do not mow whilst you are barefooted or wearing sandals. Wear
protective goggles to protect your eyes.
Always check the area where you intend to use the machine completely for stones, sticks, wires and other
foreign objects which might be picked up and ejected, before and during mowing.
If leaves or foliage are to be sucked in by the mower, all stones and other foreign objects must also be removed
before starting to mow. If this cannot be ensured due to leaves lying on the lawn, leaves and foliage should not
be sucked in.
If you also use an auto mower for lawn care, the following safety instructions must be heeded with regard to the
working area of the auto mower:
– Before working on these areas (mowing, scarifying etc.) always check the range of the boundary wire.
– If the wires are laid in the ground they must be checked, no wires may be visible, with particular attention
necessary at the charging station.
– If the boundary wires are laid above ground they should be routed tight directly on the ground and not lie
loose in the grass. The wires must be sufficiently fixed using boundary staples, see the operating manual.
– The boundary staples must not project, if this is the case push them firmly in place.
– Remove any residual wires that are lying around before starting to mow.
In the cases described above, there is a risk of the wire being pulled in and wound up by the tool; this can lead
to serious injury.
• Low-hanging branches and similar obstacles can injure the operator or interfere with the mowing operation. Before
mowing, identify potential obstacles such as low-hanging branches, and trim back or remove those obstacles.
WARNING
– Petrol is highly inflammable and explosive.
Fire and explosions can cause severe injury and material damage.
– Store petrol only in a suitable container, and out of the reach of children.
– Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers
on the ground away from your vehicle before filling up.
– Only fill the tank in the open and when the engine is cold. No smoking and no naked flames while filling the
tank.
– Fuel operated equipment, which is positioned on a load floor or a trailer, must not be refuelled from a filling
pump, but must be refuelled by a fuel container.
– The petrol must be filled into the tank before starting the engine.
– Whilst the engine is running or if the machine is hot, the lid of the petrol tank must not be opened, nor may
the tank be filled with more petrol.
– If petrol has overflowed, you must not attempt to start the engine. Instead, remove the machine from the
area contaminated with petrol, and wipe the overflowed petrol off the engine. Avoid any attempt to start the
engine until the petrol fumes have evaporated.
– For safety reasons, the petrol tank on the lawnmower and the petrol container must be closed again
carefully.
– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank and the petrol tank lid must be exchanged.
• Before you use the lawnmower, always check visually to see whether cutting tools, attachment screws and the entire
cutting unit are worn or damaged. Worn or damaged blades and attachment screws must be always replaced to avoid
any imbalance in the lawnmower.
• The condition of the pictograms must be checked every time the device is used. Worn or damaged pictograms must be
replaced.
Handling
• The machine must not be operated in potentially explosive surroundings.
• The internal combustion engine must never be used in enclosed rooms in which dangerous exhaust fumes can build up
- danger of poisoning.
• People with pacemakers must not touch any parts of the engine which might be live.
