– Always check the area in which you intend to use<br />

the lawnmower completely for stones, sticks, wires<br />

and other foreign bodies before and whilst you<br />

are mowing it.<br />

W WARNING<br />

– Petrol is extremely flammable.<br />

– Only store the petrol in the containers<br />

designed for this purpose.<br />

– Only fill the tank in the open and when the<br />

engine is cold. Smoking and naked flames<br />

are nor allowed whilst tanking.<br />

– The petrol must be filled into the tank before<br />

the engine is started. Whilst the engine is<br />

running or if the machine is hot, the lid of the<br />

petrol tank must not be opened, nor may the<br />

tank be filled whith more petrol.<br />

– If petrol has overflowed, you must not<br />

attempt to start the motor. Instead, the lawnmower<br />

must be removed from the area<br />

contaminated with petrol, and the petrol<br />

which has overflowed must be wiped off the<br />

engine. Any attempt to start the engine must<br />

be avoided until the petrol fumes have<br />

evaporated.<br />

– For safety reasons, the petrol tank on the<br />

lawnmower and the petrol container must be<br />

closed again carefully.<br />

– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank, lid<br />

of the petrol tank and the silencer must be exchanged.<br />

– Before you use the lawnmower, a visual check<br />

must always be carried out to check whether<br />

cutting blades, attachment screws and the<br />

entire cutting unit is worn down or damaged.<br />

In order to avoid a balance error, worn or<br />

damaged blades and attachments screws<br />

must be exchanged.<br />

–<br />

Turn the engine off and remove the spark plug<br />

Handling<br />

– The internal combustion engine must never be<br />

running in enclosed rooms in which dangerous<br />

exhaust fumes can build up, danger of poisoning.<br />

– People with heart pace makers must not touch<br />

any parts of the engine which might be live.<br />

– The engine/exhaust gets very hot:<br />

Do not touch!!<br />

– Please only use the type of fuel stated in the operating<br />

instructions.<br />

– The engine brake is required by law for safety<br />

technical reasons.<br />

– Only mow during daylight or if the lighting is good.<br />

– Always make sure that you are standing securely<br />

whilst mowing slopes.<br />

– Always push the machine at walking pace.<br />

– Always mow at right angles to the slope, never<br />

mow straight up or down.<br />

– Please be especially careful when you change<br />

direction when mowing on a slope.<br />

– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.<br />

– For safety reasons, slopes with a gradient of more<br />

than 25° may not be mowed with this appliance.<br />

GB<br />

– Please be especially careful when you are<br />

turning the lawnmower or you are pulling it towards<br />

yourself.<br />

– If you walk backwards whilst mowing, you can<br />

easily stumble. Hence avoid waling backwards.<br />

– Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you<br />

are standing securely and keep your balance at<br />

all times.<br />

– Always remain at that distance to the mower<br />

which is maintained by the handle bar of the lawn<br />

mower.<br />

– If the lawnmower is to be lifted in order to transport<br />

it, or areas covered with something other<br />

than grass are to be crossed and when you are<br />

transporting the lawnmower to and from the area<br />

you wish to mow turn off the engine and wait until<br />

the cutting tools have come to a stil stand.<br />

– Never lift or carry the lawnmower when the<br />

engine is running.<br />

– Never use the lawnmower if the safety devices are<br />

missing or defective, e.g. the safe guard,<br />

baffle plate and/or grass gathering equipment.<br />

Only use a grass gathering attachment if its proper<br />

assembly and its condition can be checked,<br />

or if the grass ejection flap is shut and positioned<br />

close to the lawnmower.<br />

– Do not change the base settings of the engine.<br />

Whilst you are starting the lawnmower, make sure<br />

that the lawnmower is in neutral.<br />

– When you start the machine, make sure that your<br />

feet are a sufficiently safe distance away from the<br />

cutting blades.<br />

– When you start the engine, the machine<br />

must not be lying on its side or in a slanting<br />

position, but, must only be slanted to such<br />

a degree if necessary, that the cutting tools are<br />

pointing away from the person using the<br />

machine.<br />

– Never put your hands or feet near or under<br />

moving parts. Always make sure that your hands<br />

or feet do not get under the housing.<br />

socket:<br />

– before you check, clean or perform any work<br />

on the lawnmower,<br />

– before you remove any blockages or any items<br />

clogging up the ejection chute.<br />

If the lawnmower becomes blocked, e.g. gy<br />

driving onto a obstacle, an expert must check<br />

whether parts of the lawnmower have been<br />

damaged or deformed.<br />

If the lawnmower starts to vibrate more than usual,<br />

it must be checked immediately.<br />

– The engine must be switched off:<br />

– if you have to lift or tilt the lawnmower, e.g. in<br />

order to transport it,<br />

– if you are driving it outside a grassy area;<br />

– if you are going to leave the machine<br />

unattended for a few minutes;<br />

– if you wish to change the cutting height;<br />

– before you re-fill the tank.<br />
