grass is wet.
• Ensure that you are standing firmly when
operating on slopes.
• Only operate the machine at walking
speed.
• Mow across the slope, never up or down
slope.
• Be particularly careful when changing
direction on a slope.
• Do not mow on very steep slopes.
• Be particularly careful when turning the
mower or pulling it towards you.
• Stop the cutting blades when the mower
must be tilted to transport it over surfaces
that are not grass and when the mower is
being moved from and to the area to be
mowed.
• Never use the mower if the protective
mechanisms or protective mesh are dam-
aged. Never use without protective
mechanisms, for example, deflector
plates and/or grass collection equipment.
• Start or activate the starter switch care-
fully in accordance with the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Make sure there is
sufficient space between your feet and
the cutting blades.

the mower may not be tilted unless the
mower needs to be lifted for the process.
If this is the case, only tip it as far as is
absolutely necessary and only lift the side
that faces away from the user.
• Do not start the motor if you are standing
in front of the ejection duct.
• Never put hands or feet onto or under
rotating parts. Keep away from the ejec-
tion outlet.

starter key. Make sure that all moving
parts have come to a standstill:
– Whenever you leave the machine unat-
tended;
– Before you remove blockages or clogs
in the ejection duct;
– Before you check, clean or carry out
work on the mower;
– If a foreign object is hit.
• Look for damages to the mower and
carry out any necessary repairs before
you start it up again and continue to use
the mower.
• If the mower starts to vibrate in an unu-
sual way, immediately check it.
– Look for damages;
– Carry out all necessary repairs to dam-
aged parts;
– Make sure that all nuts, bolts and
screws are tightened firmly.
Maintenance and storage
• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
tightened and the tool is in a safe operat-
ing state.
• Check the grass collection equipment
regularly for wear or for loss of functional-
ity.
• For safety reasons, replace worn or dam-
aged parts.
• Remember that when using a tool with
multiple blades, moving one blade may
lead to the other blades rotating.
• When adjusting the machine, make sure
that no fingers are trapped between the
moving blades and fixed parts of the
machine.
• Allow the motor to cool down before you
put the machine away.
• When maintaining the blades, remember
that even if the motor is switched off, the
blades can still be moved.
• For safety reasons, replace worn or dam-
aged parts. Only use original spare parts
