6. Operation
Connect the plug (Fig. 1/Item 8) to an extension cable. It is imperative
to secure the extension cable with the cable grip as shown in Fig. 10.
Caution!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally, the lawn mower
is equipped with a safety lock-o ff (Fig. 10/Item A) which must be
pressed before the switching bar (Fig. 10/Item B) can be activated.
The lawn mower switches itself o ff when the switching bar is re-
leased. Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that
the machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or
maintenance work on the equipment, ensure that the blade is not ro-
tating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Caution! Never open the chute fl ap when the grass bag has
been detached (to be emptied) and the motor is still running. A
rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and grass basket. Switch o ff
the engine before emptying the grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the length of the long
handles) is maintained between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes
and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip foot-
wear and long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down). For safety reasons,
the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient ex-
ceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower.
Tripping hazard!
