Dear Garden Lover,
Where pride in a trim lawn is coupled with a love of gardening, gardeners really
appreciate good gardening equipment. You have made an excellent choice in

with the innovations of modern high-tech. You will feel this when you are working with it
and be very pleased with the wonderful result.
Yet before you start work on your lawn, here is some important information that you
should always observe.
Before you start your mower for the first time, read this operation manual through
carefully to familiarise yourself with the correct operation and maintenance of the
machine and to avoid injury or damage to your lawn mower.
Use the lawn mower carefully. The pictograms on the equipment draw your attention to
the most important precautionary measures.
The safety instructions in this operating manual are marked with symbols.
The meaning of the pictograms and symbols is explained in the following chapters.
The terms "left" and "right" always refer to the left and right-hand side of the equipment
