 Persons who operate the lawnmower must not
be under the influence of intoxicants (e.g. alcohol,
drugs or medication).
 The lawnmower is not designed to be used
by persons (including children) who have limited
physical, sensory or mental abilities or who have
no experience and/or knowledge of the lawn-

responsible for their safety or they have been
instructed how to use the lawnmower.
 Also inform other users how to use the unit
correctly.
 Operate the lawnmower only in the technical
condition stipulated and delivered by the manu-

Operating instructions lawnmower
 Do not switch on the lawnmower if there are
persons (particularly children) or animals
in the immediate vicinity. Ensure that children
do not play with the lawnmower.
 Interrupt mowing if you notice that persons
(particularly children) or pets are nearby.
 Use the lawnmower only in daylight or in good
artificial lighting. Keep your working area clean
and well lit.
 Use the lawnmower only at reasonable times
of the day and not early in the morning or at night
when you may disturb people.
Local provisions may specify times of the day.
 Use the lawnmower in dry conditions only.
Protect it from rain and moisture.
The ingress of water into the lawnmower
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Before starting the unit
 Before starting work, familiarise yourself with
the lawnmower and its functions as well as its
controls.
 Inspect the lawnmower before switching it on and
check for signs of wear and damage if it strikes
an object. Ensure that the motor is switched
off before switching on, adjusting or cleaning
the lawnmower and that the mains plug has been
pulled out of the socket to prevent the lawnmower
from starting unintentionally.
Have damage repaired by a qualified technician
or the service centre.
 Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight
to ensure that the lawnmower can be operated
safely.
 Before switching on the lawnmower, remove
adjusting tools and spanners. A tool or wrench,
which is located in the rotating cutter bar, may
cause injuries.
 Inspect the power cord and the line installed on
the outside of the lawnmower for damage and
ageing (brittleness). Do not use the cable unless
in perfect condition. Have damaged cables
repaired by an electrician or the service centre.
 Do not use a lawnmower which has a defective
switch and can no longer be switched on or off.
Have the switch repaired by a qualified technician
or the service centre.
 Never use the lawnmower with damaged
or missing guards, e.g. discharge flap and/or
grass catcher bag, housing, etc.
Have them repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician or a service centre.
