8. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product is used exclusively for mowing grass. Do not use it for any other purposes than those intended.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging it or an injury.
Never allow children or persons who are not acquainted with the contents of this user's manual to work with
the machine.
The person operating the lawnmower is responsible for the safety of persons in the work area. Never operate
the lawnmower in the near vicinity of other people, children or freely roaming animals.
Before starting mowing, check the terrain where the lawnmower will be used and remove stones, wires,
sticks, splinters, bones and other foreign objects, which could become caught in it or deflected or cause
injuries.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
All nuts, pins and bolts must be properly tightened so that the machine is in a safe and operational condition.
Never use the lawnmower without the grass catcher or protective cover.
Never use the lawnmower with loose mowing blades. Always check in advance that all respective bolts are
securely tightened. Blunt blades must be sharpened evenly.
Damaged blades must be replaced.
When working with the lawnmower, wear long pants and solid footwear.
Never start the lawnmower in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas where fumes could accumulate. Emissions
from the engine contain carbon monoxide, which is life threatening.
Work only during sufficient light conditions (in daylight or sufficient artificial lighting).
Do not use the lawnmower when it is raining or if the grass is wet.
Proceed especially carefully when mowing in elevated terrain (on a slope). Always mow perpendicular to the
slope, parallel to the contour, and not directly up/down.
Under no condition leave the lawnmower running without supervision; if you leave the lawnmower, turn off the
engine.
Never lift the rear part of the lawnmower when starting it and always keep your limbs away from the cutting deck
or the rear grass ejection chute while the engine is running.
