– if the machine is left unattended for any time;
– before adjusting the cutting height;
– before removing the collector bag;

4 PROPER USE
• The machine is intended solely for the mowing of grass and lawn surfaces in the course of normal garden and
landscaping care (“Proper use”). Any further form of use constitutes improper use; the manufacturer accepts no liability
for any resulting damage; the risk is borne solely by the user. Proper use of the machine also includes the observation
of the operating, maintenance and servicing requirements specified by the manufacturer.
• If used in public areas, parks, sports grounds, on roads and in agricultural and forest areas, special care must be taken.
• The lawnmower must not be used in particular to trim bushes, hedges and shrubs, it must not be used to cut climbing
plants or plants growing on roofs and on balconies, or to vacuum or clear pavements.
• The use of any additional devices not approved by SABO is prohibited. If such additional devices are used, this
invalidates the CE conformity and any warranty claims. Unauthorized modifications to this lawnmower rule out any
liability on the part of the manufacturer for resulting damages.
