• Do not mow on extremely steep slopes! Mowing on slopes always involves risks. Your mower is powerful enough to<br />
mow slopes up to a gradient of 30°. For reasons of safety, however, we urgently recommend that you do not attempt to<br />
exploit this theoretical potential capacity to the full. Hand-held lawnmowers should never be used on slopes steeper<br />
than 15°.<br />
• Please be especially careful when turning the machine or pulling it towards yourself.<br />
• If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble so this should be avoided. Avoid unnatural body<br />
positions. Ensure that you are standing securely and keep your balance at all times.<br />
• Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by the handlebar.<br />
• In order to avoid the machine slipping when being carried, always hold the machine by the grip devices provided<br />
(carrying handle, housing, handlebar ends or transverse bar of the lower handlebar section). Do not grasp the machine<br />
by the ejection flap!<br />
• Note the weight of the machine before lifting or carrying it (see technical data). Lifting heavy weights can lead to health<br />
problems.<br />
• Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.<br />
• Never operate the machine with damaged or missing safety or protective devices.<br />
Safety devices include:<br />
– Safety control handle<br />
Release the blade brake control handle when in danger: The blade bar must come to standstill within three<br />
seconds.<br />
The function of the safety control bar may not be put out of operation.<br />
It is important to make sure that the safety switch holder functions properly. If it does not, let it be repaired<br />
by an authorized specialist workshop.<br />
To ensure proper operation of the safety equipment, the control bar, the control housing with throttle cable<br />
and the blade brake must be checked regularly - at least once per mowing season - by an authorized<br />
professional workshop.<br />
Protective devices include:<br />
– Housing, grass collecting bag, ejection flap and deflector plate<br />
The protective devices protect the user against objects being ejected at high speed.<br />
The machine must not be operated with a damaged housing or without a properly fitted collecting bag or<br />
deflector plate, or ejection flap on the housing.<br />
– Housing<br />
This protection unit protects against injuries through contact with the rotating cutting blade bar.<br />
The equipment must not be operated with a damaged housing. Please make sure that hands and feet are<br />
not placed underneath the housing.<br />
– Belt drive covers, engine covers<br />
These protection units protect against injuries through moving parts.<br />
The equipment must not be operated with damaged covers or without correctly attached covers.<br />
– Exhaust protection grill<br />
The engine/exhaust becomes very hot. The protection grill protects the user against burns.<br />
Do not operate the machine without the exhaust protection grill.<br />
The safety devices must not be modified.<br />
• Do not change the basic settings of the engine or operate the engine at excessive speed.<br />
• During the starting process, do not switch on the drive if available.<br />
When you start the machine, make sure that your feet are at a sufficiently safe distance away from the cutting<br />
blades.<br />
When switching on the cutting deck, the machine must not be lying on its side or in a slanting position. If it is<br />
necessary to hold the machine at a slant, always ensure that the cutting tools are pointing away from the person<br />
using the machine, although only as far as absolutely necessary.<br />
