ELECTRIC LAWNMOWER USER'S MANUAL
9 Fundamentals of work safety
Do not run when pushing the mower but rather walk at a normal pace.
The following general rules apply for work with the lawnmower: When mowing vegetation on a slope, one
does not move up and down but always along the contours, i.e. horizontally perpendicular to the incline of the
slope.
Be very careful whenever you change direction on a slope.
Never use the lawnmower on extremely steep slopes.
In the event that you need to pull the lawnmower towards yourself while it is running or if you need to travel
backwards with the lawnmower, pay increased attention when doing this.
Always stop the blades from running in the event that the machine is being transported anywhere or if you are
travelling over an area not covered by grass.
Never use the machine if you find that any covers on it are damaged or if any of its safety elements are
missing such as deflectors or grass catchers.
Always start the motor as is described in the user’s manual, while ensuring to keep your feet away from the
blades when performing this task.
Never tilt the machine when starting the motor unless it is really essential in order to start it. In such a case,
turn the side of the lawnmower upwards that is farther away from you.
Never insert your hands or feet under the lawnmower, in particular near to moving parts. Never cover the
grass ejection chute.
Never transport the machine if the motor is still running.
Always first stop the motor and pull the plug of the power cord out of the socket; only then is it possible to start
troubleshooting or to empty the grass catcher.
• Proceed in the same way before any inspection, every cleaning or every repair of the machine.
• In the event that you impact a foreign object, check that the lawnmower has not been damaged, and if
so, it is necessary to repair this damage before starting the motor again.
• Or if the machine starts to vibrate with unusual intensity (immediately check the machine!)
Stop the motor whenever you move away from the machine.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Make sure that all nuts, pins and bolts are always securely tightened so as to ensure the safe operation of the
machine.
Regularly check the grass catcher for damage or excessive wear and tear.
Immediately replace worn out or damaged parts for new ones. This will contribute to the safe operation of
your lawnmower.
When setting adjustable elements, take care not to clamp your fingers between the moving blades and the
fixed part of the machine. If you wish to store the lawnmower in an enclosed area, first allow its motor to cool
down.
