• Attention! Do not operate the unit in front of the extraction openings of air conditioning systems.
• Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Risk: Electric shock!
• Do not wear radio or music headphones. Safe service and operation requires your full attention.
• Only mow during daylight or if the lighting is good. Always push the machine at walking pace.
• Please adjust the driving speed depending on the person and the terrain. Increase the speed gradually until you
reached an adequate driving speed.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstacles that may obscure vision.
• Do not move too closely to compound steps, trenches and banks. The equipment can suddenly topple over when a
wheel suddenly gives way over the edge of a cliff or trench or when an edge suddenly yields.
• Please be careful when mowing underneath playground equipment (e.g. swings). The equipment could get into an
unsafe position. This may result in risk of injury.
• Do not operate the equipment when you are sick, tired or under the influence of alcohol, medicine or drugs.
• Avoid using the machine if possible on wet grass, in order to avoid the danger of slipping.
• Always make sure that you are standing securely whilst mowing slopes. Always mow at right angles to the slope, never
mow straight up or down. Please be especially careful when you change direction when mowing on a slope.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes! Mowing slopes always means additional risks. Your lawnmower is so powerful
that it can mow slopes with a gradient of up to 30°. For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you not to
exploit this theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance. Manually guided lawnmowers
should never be used for slopes of more than 15°. Stability may be lost.
• Please be especially careful when turning the machine or pulling it towards yourself.
• If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble so this should be avoided. Avoid unnatural body
positions. Ensure that you are standing securely and keep your balance at all times.
• Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by the handlebar.
• In order to avoid the machine slipping when being carried, always hold the machine by the grip devices provided
GB
(carrying handle, housing, handlebar ends or transverse bar of the lower handlebar section). Do not grasp the machine
by the ejection flap!
• Note the weight of the machine before lifting or carrying it (see technical data). Lifting heavy weights can lead to health
problems.
• Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.
• Never operate the machine with damaged or missing safety or protective devices.
