Be extremely cautious when turning the device
round or pulling it toward you and when mov-
ing in reverse.
Always walk slowly!
Never lift or carry the device when the engine
is running.
When using the device over a longer period of
time, vibrations can cause disturbances in the
blood supply of the hands. A generally accept-
ed usage time cannot be determined. Use
gloves.
Take breaks on time.
Have an authorised service centre check the
device immediately
– if the blade hit an object.
– if the device starts to vibrate unusually
severely.
Caution when mowing slopes
Devices fitted with a four stroke engines may
only be operated on less than 20° slopes.
Otherwise, the four stroke engine can by dam-
aged due to insufficient oil lubrication.
– Only mow steep slopes when safe operation
assured.
– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
– When mowing steep slopes, meet the ap-
propriate safety measures, e.g. use step
irons.
– Always mow in horizontal directions, never
up- or downwards.
– Sure footing is essential for your safety,
always wear skid proof safety shoes.
– Be extremely careful when changing the
direction.
– Only mow when the surface is dry and non-
slip.
Avoid mowing wet grass -
slipping hazard!
When mowing slopes,
there is a risk of slipping
and tilting!
The device can roll away when you mow
downhill. Put the device down on even surfac-
es only and prevent inadvertent rolling.
Mowing surfaces with fire hazard
– Carry a sufficient amount of suitable extin-
guishing agent.
– If side inclination is too great, fuel may leak
from the carburetor or the tank. This poses a
fire hazard!
– Observe the mowed surface also after mov-
ing is completed to ensure that no fire will
start.
To avoid risk of fire, keep the following compo-
nents free of dirt, grass, hay, leaking oil,
grease, etc.:
1. Engine
2. Silencer (manifold, guard, clearances)
3. Area around the fuel tank
When work is completed
After mowing, always close the fuel valve and
the tank ventilation.
Prior to leaving the device, wait until the blade
comes to a standstill and pull off the spark plug
connector.
After switching it off, let the device cool down
for at least 20 minutes before you store it in a
dry, closed, sufficiently ventilated room.
Never store the device when there is fuel in the
tank inside a building where fuel vapours might
come into contact with open fire or sparks.
Use caution during maintenance
and repair
Only carry out maintenance work as described
in these operating instructions. Have an au-
thorised service centre carry out all other work.
Prior to starting any maintenance work, wait
until the engine comes to a standstill and pull
off the spark plug connectors.
