Operation
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is
sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the
blade strikes an object,immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade
mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over anything that could damage
the mower. The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict
bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch
these parts unless the mower has been switched off for a while and you know that
they have cooled down!
• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.
• Insufficient daylight or even an insufficient level of artificial light is one reason not
to mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if
the machine vibrates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull
the spark plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one
(traffic). Always keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is un-
safe in any other way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind
you (especially little children, who are more difficult to see).
• When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest cutting level and mow at a
slower speed. Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off the
engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.
Emptying the grass catcher
The grass catcher (15) is equipped with a filling level indicator (Fig. 16). This will be
opened by the air current produced by the mower. If the flap falls during mowing, the
grass catcher (15) is full and should be emptied. To ensure that the filling level indica-
tor works properly, the holes under the flap must be kept clean and permeable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass
catcher.
