Disconnect the plug from the power supply if the
mower starts to suffer unusual vibrations (check
the mower immediately).
Ensure that all the nuts, bolts and screws are
tight and that the mower is in a safe condition for
use.
Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug
from the power supply if the mower strikes a
foreign body. Check the mower for signs of
damage and carry out the necessary repair work
before you start work with the mower again.
Do not leave the mower out in the rain. The lawn
must not be wet or very damp.
Ensure that you have safe footing at all times
whilst working with the mower.
Only push the mower at walking pace.
Be particularly careful when changing direction
with the mower whilst working on a slope.
Be particularly careful when you change the
direction of the mower or pull it towards you.
Switch off the mower if it has to be tilted for t
ransport purposes, when you have to take it over
surfaces other than grass, and when moving the
mower to and from the area you wish to mow.
Start or use the starter switch with care as
described in the manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure that your feet are a safe distance from
the cutting tool.
Never lift or carry the mower whilst the motor is
running.
Switch the mower off before leaving it.
Allow the motor to cool down before you place
the machine in enclosed rooms for storage.
Check the grass bag at regular intervals for signs
of wear and to ensure that it is still in perfect
working order.
Before you adjust or clean the mower or check
whether the mains lead is kinked or damaged,
switch off the mower and disconnect the plug
from the power supply.
The connection sockets on the connectors must
be made of rubber, soft PVC or other
thermoplastic material with the same strength or
they must be coated with this material.
Ensure that you do not push the mower over
routes that might hamper the free movement of
the extension cable.
Do not switch the mower on and off frequently
over a short period of time, and in particular do
not play with the ON/OFF switch.
As a result of the voltage fluctuations this mower
causes as it gets up to speed, other equipment
connected to the same circuit may suffer faults if
the mains supply is not in perfect condition. In

this case suitable action has to be taken (for
example connect the mower to a different circuit
or run the mower on a circuit with lower
impedance).
Disconnect the plug from the power supply:
- whenever you leave the mower.
- if the mower starts to suffer unusual
vibrations (check immediately).

Power connection
The lawn mower can be connected to any socket
(with 230 V alternating current). However, only use a
socket with an earth connection protected by a cable
protection switch for 16 A and an RCCB with max. 30
mA.
Mower mains lead
Only use a mower mains lead that is in perfect
condition. The mains lead must not exceed a certain
length (max. 50m), since otherwise the power of the
electric motor will fall. The mains lead must have a
cross-section of 3 x 1.5mm 2 . Mains leads on lawn
mowers are particularly susceptible to insulation
damage.
The causes of this include the following:
- Cutting the cable by passing over it with the mower
- Damage through crushing if the mains lead is
routed under doors or windows
- Cracks caused by ageing of the insulation sheath
- Kinks caused by incorrect fastening or routing of
the mains lead.
Such damaged mains leads should not be used
under any circumstances as they may cause fatal
injuries due to their damaged insulation sheath.
Cables, plugs and connection sockets must satisfy
the conditions listed below. Mains leads for
connecting lawn mowers must have rubber insulation
sheaths.
The mains leads must be at least type H05RN-F and
have three wires. The type designation must be
printed on the mains lead. Only buy mains leads that
have their type data printed on them. The plugs and
