Blade
Always unplug the lawn mower before checking the blade in any way. After you have stopped
the motor, remember that the blade will still keep running for a few seconds before it comes to
a standstill. Never attempt to stop the blade. Check at regular intervals if the blade is properly
fastened, in good repair, and whether it is well sharpened. Regrind or replace it, if necessary.
If the rotating blade hits any object stop the lawn mower and wait until the blade has
completely come to a standstill. Then check the condition of the blade and the blade holder.
Immediately replace the blade if it has got damaged.
To avoid possible damage to you, please make sure to follow the below
instructions during operation:
Never use the machine without rear flap or grass catcher connected. (fig.14A)
Do not attempt to lift up the rear part of the machine, instead, to hold up the front part of
machine to get the machine re-start when it fails to rotate owing to too strong grass. (fig.14B)
On slopes, always mow sideways, never up and down. Avoid extremely steep slopes.
(fig.14C)
Never put your hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Always keep away from the
discharge opening, if possible. (fig.14D)
