Before mowing
Important information
• Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
• Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or damaged
in any other way must be immediately exchanged
for a genuine replacement blade.
• Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather out in
the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring jug.
Wipe off any spilled petrol.
• Read and follow in the instructions in the operating
manual as well as the information regarding the
engine and accessory equipment. Store the manual
in a place where it can be readily accessed by other
users of the machine.
• Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine
out in the open.
• Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that
they are in good working order.
• The machine should only be operated by persons
who are well informed with the way it works, and
who are in reasonably good physical condition.
• It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it is
wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass
when it is dry.
• Advise children and others to keep well away from
the lawn mower.
• Never mow the grass in poor visibility.
• Remove all loose objects from the lawn before you
start mowing the grass.(Like stones, toys, sticks
and wires etc.)
Tips for proper mowing
m CAUTION! Never open the chute flap when the
catch bag has been detached (to be emptied) and
the engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass bas-
ket. Switch off the engine before emptying the grass
basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the mower housing. Be especially careful
when mowing and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always mow
along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
