• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Keeping your finger on the switch or having
the device switched on when you connect it to the
power supply may result in accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in
a rotating device part may result in injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
power tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore power tool safety rules. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Clothing and equipment
• Always wear sturdy footwear with non-slip soles during
work. Never work barefoot or in sandals, for example.
• The device may only be operated with long trousers
and tight-fitting clothing.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get caught on
moving parts (control levers) – also no jewellery, no
ties and no scarves.
• When carrying out maintenance and cleaning work,
as well as when transporting the device, always
wear sturdy gloves and tie up and secure long hair
(bandana, cap, etc.).
• Suitable safety goggles must be worn when sharp-
ening the mowing blade.
During work
• Never work while people, especially children, or
animals are nearby. Make sure that grass is never
ejected towards third parties.
• Do not work with the device during rain, thunderstorms
and especially when there is a risk of lightning.
m Work area safety
• Completely check the terrain where the device will
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones
and other foreign objects that may be thrown up by
the device. Obstacles (e.g. tree stumps, roots) can
easily be overlooked in the tall grass.

• Therefore, before working with the device, mark all
foreign objects (obstacles) hidden in the lawn that
cannot be removed.
• Look out for depressions (holes) in the terrain and
other non-visible danger spots. Obstacles can easi-
ly be overlooked in the tall grass.
• Use the device with special care when working near
slopes, terrain edges, ditches and dykes. In particu-
lar, ensure that there is sufficient distance to such
danger points.
• Take special care at blind spots, bushes, trees and
other obstacles behind which there may be people,
especially children, or animals.
• Stop the battery-powered ride-on lawnmower im-
mediately and turn off the mowing blades if anyone
enters the mowing area.
• Always keep an eye on the area in front of the ve-
hicle. Watch out for obstacles so that you can avoid
them in time.
• Before reversing, always check the area behind the
battery-powered ride-on lawnmower and disengage
the attachment device if fitted. Never mow back-
wards unless absolutely necessary. When mowing
in reverse, take extra care and thoroughly check
the entire area behind the battery-powered ride-on
lawnmower before starting to mow.
• When working within a group, you must always let
others know in good time what you intend to do.
Observe the safety distance!
• Before any change of direction, reduce the driving
speed so that the user remains in control of the de-
vice at all times and also so that the battery-pow-
ered ride-on lawnmower cannot tip over.
• When operating near roads and when crossing
traffic routes, attention must be paid to other road
users.
• Special care is needed when mowing near roads,
cycle paths and footpaths. Ejected parts can cause
serious injuries and damage.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions may cause you to lose
control of the device.
Power tool use and care
• Do not overload the device. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
