Before and during mowing, check the whole area the device is being
used on and remove all stones, sticks, wires, toys and other objects
which can be caught and catapulted out.
Before and during the mowing process, check the area for live wires and
remove them, if possible.
Never drive over live wires when the cutting tool is switched on.
Risk of electric shock!
If a live wire is damaged, switch off the device and disconnect the wire
from the supply grid.
•
If you also use a mowing robot for lawn care, the following safety information
must be heeded with regard to the working area of the mowing robot:
–
Before mowing on these areas, always check the range of the boundary
wire.
–
If the wires are laid in the ground, they must be checked. No wires may be
visible, particular attention is advised at the charging station.
–
If the boundary wires are laid above ground, they should be routed tight
directly on the ground and not lie loose in the grass. The wires must be
sufficiently fixed using boundary staples, see the operating manual.
–
The boundary staples must not project, if this is the case, push them firmly
in place.
–
Remove any residual wires before mowing.
In the cases described above, there is a risk of the wire being pulled in and wound
up by the tool; this can lead to serious injury.
•
Low-hanging branches and similar obstacles can injure the operator or interfere
with the mowing operation. Cables may snag and be damaged or torn off.
A damaged cable may result in a technical defect of the device. Before and
during mowing, identify potential obstacles such as low-hanging branches, and
trim back or remove those obstacles.
The electrical equipment may not be altered. Read and observe the
safety information regarding handling of the battery and charger in the
separate operating instructions for the charger!
•
Before use, check by visual inspection whether the cutting tool, fastening screws
and the entire cutting unit are worn or damaged. In order to avoid unbalance,
worn or damaged blades and fastening screws must be replaced by an
authorised workshop.
•
The condition of the pictograms must be checked every time the device is used.
Worn or damaged pictograms must be replaced.
Handling
•
The charger supplied may only be used for the batteries belonging to the lawn
mower.
The batteries likewise may not be charged with any other charger. You may
endanger yourself or damage your device.
Only use the lawn mower with batteries which are approved for it.
Improper use of batteries and the charger can cause electric shocks or fires.
Approved chargers and batteries: see chapter “Original spare
parts and
accessories”.
•
The device must not be operated in potentially explosive surroundings.
•
Do not mow in bad weather when lightning could strike.
•
Do not expose the device to rain or moisture.
•
Do not wear radio or music headphones. Safe service and operation requires
your full attention.
•
Only use the mower during daylight or if the lighting is good. Always push the
machine at walking pace.
•
Adjust the driving speed to the person and terrain. Slowly increase the speed
until you have reached your suitable driving speed.
•
Take care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstacles that
may obscure vision.
•
Do not move too closely to holes, trenches and banks. The equipment can
suddenly topple over when a wheel suddenly gives way over the edge of a trench
or a bank or when an edge suddenly yields.
•
Take care when mowing under play equipment (e.g. swings). The device may
end up in a precarious position. This may result in risk of injury.
•
Do not operate the equipment when you are sick, tired or under the influence of
alcohol, medicine or drugs.
•
Avoid using the device on wet grass, if possible. Otherwise there may be a risk
of slipping.
•
Always make sure that you have a firm stance whilst using the scarifier on slopes.
Always work at right angles to the slope, never straight up or down. Please be
especially careful when you change direction when using the scarifier on a slope.
•
Do not mow excessively steep slopes! Mowing slopes always comes with
additional risks. Always make sure you have a firm stance. Walk-behind lawn
mowers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in excess of 26%
(15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost.
•
Please be especially careful when turning the device or pulling it towards
yourself.
•
If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble.
Avoid walking backwards. Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you have
a firm stance and keep your balance at all times.
•
Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by the
guide bar.
•
In order to avoid the machine slipping when being carried, always hold the
machine by the grip devices provided (housing, handlebar ends or transverse
bar of the lower guide bar section). Do not grasp the machine by the ejection flap!
•
Note the weight of the machine before lifting or carrying it
(see
“Technical data”
). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
•
Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.
•
Never use the machine with damaged or missing safety and protective devices.
Missing or damaged safety and protective devices are a safety hazard for both
you and other people.
The safety devices include
(see chapter
“Description of components”):
–
Engine stop safety control bar (1)
The lawn mower is fitted with an engine stop device.
During operation and in the event of a hazard, the engine is
switched off by releasing the engine stop safety control bar.
The blade must come to a standstill within 3 seconds.
After release, the safety control bar must always return to the
position shown in the “Description of components” diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an
authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the stopping time of the blade is longer, stop using the device and
take it to an authorised workshop.
Measuring the stopping time
After starting the engine, the blade rotates and a wind noise can be
heard.
The stopping time corresponds to the duration of the wind noise
after the engine has been switched off; it can be measured with a
stopwatch.
The function of the safety control bar must never be put out of
operation.
It is important to make sure that the safety control bar functions
correctly. If the safety control bar is not working properly, have it
repaired by an authorised specialist workshop.
–
Battery (3) and safety key (4)
This safety device protects against injuries resulting from
unintentional starting of the engine.
In order to prevent unauthorised operation of the machine, the
safety key and battery must be removed for all work on the
machine, before maintenance and repair work, if you intend to leave
the machine and during storage.
