Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip 

footwear and long trousers. Always mow along the 

incline (not up and down).

For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used 

to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.

Use special caution when backing up and pulling the 

lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

Mowing

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. 

This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and 

the lawn from turning yellow. Try to mow in straight 

lines for a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the mowing 

swaths should always overlap each other by a few 

centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and 

remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it 

more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the 

quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine 

to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up 

and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the 

hill while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding 

out of the straight line. Select the cutting height 

according to the length of the grass. 

If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it several 

times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are cut 

at one time. Switch off the engine before doing 

any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the 

blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after 

the engine has been switched off. Never attempt to 

manually stop the blade.

Regularly check to see if the blade is securely 

attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If 

the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or 

replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an 

object,immediately switch off the lawn mower and 

wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then 

inspect the condition of the blade and the blade 

mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.

Tips for proper mowing:

•  Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into 

or over anything that could damage the mower. 

The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the 

machine could inflict bodily injury.

•  A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the 

skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts 

unless the mower has been switched off for a 

while and you know that they have cooled down!

•  Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and 

steep grades.

• 

Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of 

artificial light is one reason not to mow.

•  Check the mower, the blade and other parts if 

they have struck a foreign object or if the machine 

vibrates more than usual.

•  Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the 

engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.

•  Pay special attention if you are mowing directly 

next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always 

keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.

•  Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have 

trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other 

way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is 

standing behind you (especially little children, who 

are more difficult to see).

•  When mowing over thick, high grass, select the 

highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed. 

Before you remove any grass or blockages of any 

kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug boot.

•  Never remove any safety-related parts.

• 

Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is 

running.

Emptying the grass basket

The debris bag (16) is equipped with a filling level 

indicator (Fig. 16). This will be opened by the air 

current produced by the mower. If the flap falls dur

-

ing mowing, the debris bag (16) is full and should 

be emptied. To ensure that the filling level indicator 

works properly, the holes under the flap must be kept 

clean and permeable.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn 

mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.

m

 WARNING

Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the 

engine and wait until the blade has come to a 

stop.

To take off the grass basket (16), use one hand to 

lift up the chute flap (15) and the other to grab onto 

the basket handle (Fig.16). Remove the basket. For 

safety reasons, the chute flap (15) automatically falls 

down after removing the grass basket and closes off 

the rear chute opening.

If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier 

to restart the engine if you pull the mower back 

approx. 1 meter. Do not use your hands or feet to 

remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but 

instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand 

broom.

In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings 

are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket 

(16) and especially the air grill must be cleaned 

after each use. Reattach the grass basket (16) only 

when the engine is switched off and the blade is 

stopped. Using one hand, lift up the chute flap (15), 

while grabbing onto the basket handle with the other. 

Hang in the basket from the top. Fig. 9
