• WARNING!
If something breaks or an accident happens whilst working, you must turn off the
machine immediately and move the machine away to prevent further damage. If an accident
happens with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the first aid measures most suitable for
the situation immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care.
Carefully remove any debris that might cause damage or harm persons or animals should it not
be seen.
•
Do not switch on the motor until your feet are at a safe distance from the blade. Be careful and
do not reach into the rotating blade.
•
Ensure that you have a firm footing and mow slowly. Be particularly careful when changing
direction. There is a risk of tripping!
•
The excessive speed of movement or the absence of maintenance have a significant influence
on noise emissions and vibrations. It is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible
damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration. You must maintain the machine
well, wear ear protection and take breaks from working.
•
Never open the discharge flap while the motor is running.
•
Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the motor. If the lawnmower is running, do not lift
or transport.
•
If the attachments/tools are not installed in their seats, do not use the machine.
•
You must remove the safety key and the battery (making sure that all moving parts are
stationary):
- Whenever you remove or attach the grass collector.
- Before adjusting the cutting height.
- After striking a foreign object, you must inspect the machine for damage and make repairs
before using it again.
- Before checking or working on the machine.
- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute.
- When lifting or transporting the machine.
- Whenever you leave the machine unattended.
- If the unit starts vibrating excessively.
•
After emptying the grass catcher, carefully re-attach it and ensure that the grass catcher is
attached securely to the lawnmower.
•
Do not switch on the unit if there are persons (particularly children) or animals in the immediate
vicinity. Ensure that children do not play with the unit. Stop working if you notice that persons
(particularly children) or pets are nearby. When stopping work, never leave the unit unattended
and keep it in a safe place.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch invites accidents.
