– Fuel operated equipment, which is positioned on a load floor or a trailer, must not be refuelled from a filling
pump, but must be refuelled by a fuel container.
– The petrol must be filled into the tank before starting the engine.
– Whilst the engine is running or if the machine is hot, the lid of the petrol tank must not be opened, nor may
the tank be filled with more petrol.
– If petrol has overflowed, you must not attempt to start the engine. Instead, remove the machine from the
area contaminated with petrol, and wipe the overflowed petrol off the engine. Avoid any attempt to start the
engine until the petrol fumes have evaporated.
– For safety reasons, the petrol tank on the lawnmower and the petrol container must be closed again
carefully.
– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank and the petrol tank lid must be exchanged.
•
Before you use the lawnmower, always check visually to see whether cutting tools, attachment screws and the entire
cutting unit are worn or damaged. Worn or damaged blades and attachment screws must be always replaced to avoid
any imbalance in the lawnmower.
Handling
•
The machine must not be operated in potentially explosive surroundings.
•
The internal combustion engine must never be used in enclosed rooms in which dangerous exhaust fumes can build up
- danger of poisoning.
•
People with pacemakers must not touch any parts of the engine which might be live.
•
Attention! Do not operate the unit in front of the extraction openings of air conditioning systems.
•
Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Risk: Electric shock!
•
Do not wear radio or music headphones. Safe service and operation requires your full attention.
•
Only mow during daylight or if the lighting is good. Always push the machine at walking pace.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstacles that may obscure vision.
•
Do not move too closely to compound steps, trenches and banks. The equipment can suddenly topple over when a
wheel suddenly gives way over the edge of a cliff or trench or when an edge suddenly yields.
•
Please be careful when mowing underneath playground equipment (e.g. swings). The equipment could get into an
unsafe 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 machine if possible on wet grass, in order to avoid the danger of slipping.
•
Always make sure that you are standing securely whilst mowing slopes. Always mow at right angles to the slope, never
mow straight up or down. Please be especially careful when you change direction when mowing on a slope.
•
Do not mow on extremely steep slopes! Mowing on slopes always involves risks. Your mower is powerful enough to
mow slopes up to a gradient of 25°. For reasons of safety, however, we urgently recommend that you do not attempt to
exploit this theoretical potential capacity to the full. Hand-held lawnmowers should never be used on slopes steeper
than 15°.
•
Please be especially careful when turning the machine or pulling it towards yourself.
•
If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble so this should be avoided. Avoid unnatural body
positions. Ensure that you are standing securely and keep your balance at all times.
•
Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by the handlebar.
•
In order to avoid the machine slipping when being carried, always hold the machine by the grip devices provided
(carrying handle, housing, handlebar ends or transverse bar of the lower handlebar 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 heavy weights can lead to health
problems.
•
Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.
•
Never operate the machine with damaged or missing safety or protective devices.
Safety devices include:
– Safety control bracket
In the event of danger, release the safety control bracket for the engine brake: The motor and blade come
