General power tool safety warnings
Handling (continued)
• Only operate the mower at a walking pace.
• Always mow across hills (e.g. never straight up or
straight down).
• Be particularly careful when you change direction on a
slope.
• Do not mow on overly steep inclines.
• Take extra caution when turning the mower around and
when pulling it towards you.
• Switch the mower off, remove the battery and wait until
the cutters have reached a complete standstill when
tipping the mower over, transporting it over surfaces
other than grass, and when moving the mower to and
from the area you wish to mow.
• Never use the lawn mower if the guards (e.g. grass-
catching devices) are damaged or not properly fitted.
• Use the ON/OFF switch carefully as described in the
manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that your feet are
far enough away from the mower blade when starting
and using the mower!
• The lawn mower should not be tilted when the motor is
switched on unless it has to be raised for starting
purposes. In this case, tilt it as little as absolutely
necessary and only raise the side opposite to that of the
user.
• Do not switch on the mower if you are positioned in front
of the discharge chute.
• Never move your hands or feet toward or under any
rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge chute opening
at all times.
• Never lift or carry a lawn mower with the engine running.
