are required during use.

The symbols mean:

Warning! Read the Instruction Book and

Safety Manual before using the machine.

Warning! Keep onlookers away. Beware

of objects being flung out.

Warning! Before carrying out any repair

work make sure the machine is unplugged.

Warning! Keep the extension cable away

from the cutting system.

Warning! Keep hands and feet clear of the

under chassis when the machine is run-

ning.

Warning! The blade continues to rotate

even after the machine has been switched

off.

GENERAL

This symbol indicates WARNING! Per-

sonal injury and/or damage to property

may result if the instructions are not fol-

lowed carefully.

• Please read through these instructions carefully.

Learn all the controls and the correct use of the

machine.

• This machine is only intended for mowing

lawns. Other use, such as cutting bushes, hedg-

es, climbing plants, etc., is forbidden due to the

risk of injury.

• Never allow children or anyone who is not fa-

miliar with these instructions to use the lawn-

mower. Local regulations may impose

restrictions as regards the age of the driver.

• Never carry out mowing if others, particularly

children or animals, are in the vicinity.

• Remember that the driver is responsible for ac-

cidents that happen to other people or their

property.

• Do not use the machine if you are under the in-

fluence of alcohol, drugs or medication. Neither

should you use it when you are tired or feeling

unwell.

PREPARATIONS

• Wear strong shoes and long trousers when

mowing. Do not operate the machine barefoot

or wearing sandals.

• Always use hearing protectors.

• Carefully check the area that is to be mowed

and remove all stones, sticks, steel wire and oth-

er objects.

• Before use: always check that blades and

mounting devices are not worn or damaged. Re-

place worn or damage parts as a set so that the

correct balance is maintained.

Connecting the machine

• For increased safety, an earth leakage circuit

breaker with a breaking current not greater than

30 mA should be connected between the wall

socket and the cable.

• Before using the machine, always check that the

cable is not damaged. The machine must not be

used if the cable is damaged.

OPERATION

• Only mow in daylight or in good lighting con-

ditions.

• If possible, avoid mowing wet grass.

• Be sure to move steadily on slopes.

• Walk, don’t run.

• With wheeled lawnmowers, cut across a slope,

never up and down.

• Take great care when changing direction on a

slope.

STOP

ENGLISH GB

• Do not mow slopes with a gradient of more than

15°.

• Take great care when reversing or when pulling

the lawnmower towards yourself.

• Shut off the engine if the lawnmower has to be

tilted during transport on surfaces other than

grass, and when the lawnmower is being trans-

ported to and from the area to be mowed.

• Never operate the lawnmower with insufficient

protection or without safety devices in place,

e.g. a grass collector.

• Start the engine carefully, following the instruc-

tions. Keep your feet away from the blades.

• Do not tilt the mower when the engine is start-

ed, apart from when the mower has to be tilted

when starting. If this is the case, it should not be

tilted more than necessary, and the part that is

furthest away from the operator should be tilted.

• Keep your hands and feet away from the rotat-

ing blade and other rotating parts. If there is an

ejector opening, never insert your hand into it.

• The blade bar continues to rotate for a short

while after the starter handle has been released.

• If the machine is equipped with a grass ejector,

this should always be kept free of branches,

rubbish, etc.

• Never lift or carry the lawnmower while the en-

gine is running.

Shut off the engine and pull out the plug:

• When you leave the lawnmower.

• To remove sticks and rubbish or when the dis-

charge has become clogged.

• To check, clean or service the machine.

• When you have driven over a foreign object and

want to check whether there is any damage as well

as carry out repairs before restarting the mower.

• To check the machine if it begins to vibrate ex-

cessively. (Check immediately).

• Always ensure that the cable is kept well away

from the blade. If the cable is damaged during

mowing, stop the machine immediately and un-

plug the cable from the wall socket before

checking the cable. A damaged cable should be

repaired by a qualified electrician or replaced.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Check that all nuts and screws are tightened so

that the machine is in safe working condition.

• If the machine is equipped with a grass collec-

tor, check frequently for wear and damage to

the grass collector.

• For the sake of safety, replace worn or damaged

parts.

• Thoroughly clean the mower and store it in-

doors in a dry place. The machine must not be

rinsed with water.

• Store the machine so that children cannot get to

it.

ENVIRONMENT

For environmental reasons, we recommend that

particular attention is given to the following

points:

• When your machine has to be replaced after

many years of service or is no longer required,

we recommend that it is handed in to your deal-

er for recycling.

Always use genuine spare parts.

CLEANING/STORAGE (fig. 7)

Never rinse with water.

The lawnmower must be stored dry.

an authorised service workshop for service, main-

tenance and checking of safety devices once a year.
