Checks before each operation:
Before use, an inspection is always to be
performed in order to determine that all nuts, bolts
and working tools are not worn down or damaged.
Worn down or damaged blades are to be replaced
in sets.
Do not use the battery lawnmower if safety devices
(switch handle, safety key, start button, cover for
cutting mechanism) and/or the cutting blade is
damaged or worn. Never operate the unit with the
safety devices bypassed or missing.
Inspect the surface on which the lawnmower is to
be used beforehand. Stones, pieces of wood and
wires, as well as other solid matter, must be
removed.

be thrown out uncontrollably or damage the cutting
mechanism.
Proper use / Responsibility:

device has been removed and the blades have
come to a complete stop.

children or animals, are directly nearby. The
operator is liable for damages.
When mowing embankments and slopes, special
care is to be taken:

and wear shoes with a non-slip slole and long
trousers. Always cut diagonally to the slope.

when pulling the lawnmower. Danger of stumbling!
If, despite taking precautions, you stike an object
