• Before use, always carry out a visual
inspection to check whether the cut -
ting tools, mounting bolts and entire
cutting unit are worn or damaged. To
avoid imbalance, only replace worn or
damaged tools and bolts in sets.
• Take care with equipment that has
several cutting tools, as the movement
of one blade may result in rotation of
other blades.
• Use only replacement parts and ac -
cessories supplied and recommended
by the manufacturer. The use of parts
from other manufacturers may result
in injuries and will result in immediate
invalidation of the guarantee.
Handling:
• Do not run the combustion engine in
enclosed spaces, in which dangerous
carbon monoxide can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or with good arti -
ficial lighting. An unlit working area can
result in accidents.
• If possible, avoid using the equipment
on wet grass.
• Always ensure secure positioning, par -
ticularly on hillsides, landfills, ditches
or dykes. This will give you better con -
trol of the equipment in unexpected
situations.
- Always work across the slope,
never upwards or downwards.
- Take particular care when changing
the direction of travel on the slope.
- Do not mow on excessively steep
slopes (max. 10°).
• Run the equipment only at walking
speed.
• Take particular care when turning the
equipment around or pulling it towards
you.
• Stop the cutting tool if the equipment
has to be tipped up for transportation
over a surface other than grass and
when moving the equipment from and
to the surface to be mown.
• Do not use the equipment with dam -
aged safety equipment or guards or
with no safety equipment attached,
e.g. impact protection and/or grass
catchers. This ensures that the equip -
ment remains safe.
• Do not change the engine regulator
setting and do not over-rev it. This
may damage the equipment.
• Start or operate the start switch with
care and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure
sufficient space between feet and the
cutting tool. Risk of injury.
• When starting or activating the engine,
do not tip the equipment unless the
equipment has to be lifted for this pro -
cedure. In this case, tip the equipment
only as far as is absolutely necessary
and lift only the side that is away from
the user.

in front of the ejection channel.
• Switch on the engine in accordance
with the instructions and only if your
feet are a safe distance away from the
cutting tools.
• Do not place hands or feet under rotat -
ing parts. Always keep away from the
ejection opening. A moment of care -
lessness when using the equipment
may result in serious injury.
• Do not leave or carry the equipment
when the engine is running.
