breaks in good time. Take a sen-
sible approach to the work.
A moment of carelessness when
using the equipment can result
in serious injury.
• When working, ensure a firm
stance, particularly on slopes.
This enables you to control the
equipment better in unexpected
situations.
Always work across the slope,
never upwards or downwards.
Take particular care when
changing the direction of travel
on the slope. Do not work on
excessively steep slopes.
• Run the equipment only at a
walking pace. Take particular
care when turning the equip-
ment around, pulling it towards
you or going backwards.
There is a risk of personal injury.
• Switch on the equipment care-
fully and in accordance with
the directions in these instruc-
tions. Ensure sufficient distance
between feet and the rotating
blades. Contact with the cutter
can result in injury.
• Do not tilt the equipment when
starting other than if it is neces-
sary to do so when starting up
in long grass. In doing so, tilt it
only as far as absolutely neces-
sary and lift it only on the side
facing away from the user. In
this case, tilt the equipment by
pressing down the handle bar
such that the front wheels of the
equipment are raised. Always
check that both hands are in the
working position before return-
ing the equipment to the ground.
• Do not work without the grass
bag or collision guard. Keep
away from the ejection hole at
all times.
• Do not start the motor when
standing in front of the emission
duct.
Caution! Danger! The blade
continues to run after switch-
ing off. There is a risk of in-
jury.
• The equipment is not to be lifted
or transported while the motor
is running. Switch off the equip-
ment if it has to be tilted in
transit, when crossing surfaces
other than grass, and when the
equipment is being transported
to and from the surfaces to be
mowed.
• Always keep the grass ejection
hole clean and clear. Remove
cut material only when the
equipment is stopped.
• Do not leave the equipment un-
attended in the workplace.
• Do not work with equipment
that is damaged, incomplete, or
has been modified without the
authorisation of the manufac-
turer. Do not use the equipment
with damaged safety devices or
screens or with missing safety
equipment such as deflection
and/or grass collection devices.
• Do not overload the equipment.
Work only within the speci-
fied power range and do not
change the regulator settings on
the motor. Do not use low-pow-
ered machines for heavy work.
Do not use your equipment for
purposes other than those for
