Check area to be mown beforehand to avoid damage
to mower/objects or injuries to living beings. Stones,
pieces of wood, wires or the like, as well as other for-
eign objects must be removed. Objects that are caught
by the cutting equipment can be flung out uncontrol-
lably. Keep bystanders away from the danger zone.
When mowing, always wear suitable work clothes,
such as sturdy shoes, long pants and possibly gloves.
Never mow while barefoot or wearing thin sandals.
The mower can cause serious injuries! You are respon-
sible for safety in the work area.
Caution! Risk of injury from rotating cutting
equipment!

equipment; this could result in very serious injuries!
Ensure that sufficient distance is kept between
hands, feet and cutting equipment. Cutting equip-
ment continues to rotate after motor is switched off.
– Never lift or carry the mower while motor is run-
ning; this could result in very serious injuries.
Switch motor off and disconnect circuit breaker
when moving mower to and from work area, or til-
ting mower.

– mower shows signs of malfunction
Safety instructions for maintaining and cleaning
mower
Before performing any maintenance and cleaning
work, disconnect circuit breaker.
Check cutting equipment regularly for damages and
ensure proper repair. Blunt, bent or damaged cutting
equipment results in overload of mower. Ensure that
regular maintenance is performed only by manufac-
turer's service centre or authorised dealer.
Check grass catcher frequently for wear and deforma-
tion.
After maintenance or repair, ensure that all screws,
bolts, nuts and safety devices are firmly in place and
attached.

well as risk of fire and explosion!
To avoid life-threatening situations:
– Ensure that charger, charging plug and mains plug are
in proper working condition before use.
