General information
• This lawnmower is designed for domestic grass and lawn
surfaces. Because of the physical risk to the user or to oth-
ers, the lawnmower must
not
be used for other purposes.
• Never mow the lawn if others – in particular children and ani-
mals – are in the vicinity.
• Only mow the lawn during daylight or with the aid of appro-
priate artificial light.
Before mowing
• Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers when mowing.
Never mow while barefoot or wearing flimsy sandals.
• Check the site on which the machine is to be used, and
remove all items which could be caught and ejected
• Check the line and connection cable fitted to the outside of
the lawnmower for damage and ageing (brittleness). Only use
if in perfect condition.
• Only have the cable repaired by a qualified person.
• Check the grass catchment device regularly for wear-and-tear
and deformation.
• Before use, carry out a visual inspection to check whether
the cutting gear and its mounts are blunt or damaged. In
order to avoid generating an imbalance, replace blunt or
damaged cutting gear as an entire set.
Cables
• Please use safety cables. Cables used as connecting lines
must not be lighter than HO7 RN-F rubber-sheathed cables
with a minimum cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm
2
. Do not exceed
a maximum length of 25 m.
• Plugs and couplings must be protected from splashes.
• Use a residual current protection device (RCD) with a residu-
al current not exceeding 30 mA.
• Fit the connection cable to the mains lead cleat. Do not allow
to rub against edges or against sharp or pointed objects.
Do not squeeze cables through tight door or window openings.
Switch devices must not be removed or circumvented
(e.g. connecting the switch lever to the handle bars)
When mowing
• Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the motor,
unless the lawnmower has to be tilted when starting. If that
is the case, do not tip the lawnmower more than absolutely
necessary, and only lift the part furthest removed from the
user. Always ensure that both hands are in the operating
position before replacing the lawnmower on the ground.
• Caution, danger! Cutting gear will continue running!
• Maintain the safety distance prescribed by the handle bars.
Maintenance
• Always switch off the motor and pull the mains plug before
carrying out maintenance and cleaning work.
• Never spray down the lawnmower using water, especially not
at high pressure.
• Regularly check and tighten all visible fastening screws and
nuts, especially those relating to the cutting bar, to ensure a
firm fit.
• Caution! Always have blades changed or re-sharpened by a
specialist workshop, since a balance test must be carried out
as specified in the safety regulations following any removal
of parts.
• Only use original WOLF spare parts. Otherwise we cannot
guarantee that your lawnmower conforms to the safety regu-
lations.
• Never park your lawnmower in damp rooms.
• For safety reasons, replace worn or damaged parts.
Disposal
• Do not dispose of electrical equipment in domestic
waste. Recycle equipment, accessories and packaging
in an environment-friendly manner
.
• Only switch on the motor if your feet are at a safe distance
from the cutting gear.
• Take care to ensure a safe and stable position, especially on
slopes. Never run; always walk calmly forward.
• Always mow slopes at right angles to the incline; never mow
up and down.
• When mowing slopes, be especially careful when changing
direction.
• Never mow steep slopes.
• Be especially careful when mowing backwards and pulling
the lawnmower towards you.
• Switch the lawnmower off when tilting it, running on empty or
transporting the lawnmower, e.g. to/from a lawn or along paths.
• Never use the lawnmower if safety devices are faulty or miss-
ing, such as deflector and/or grass catchment devices.
• Caution: do not touch running cutters.
• Always keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Do not
stand in front of the grass ejector opening.
• Never lift or carry a lawnmower while the motor is running.
• Never open the guard flap while the motor is still running.
• Before removing the grass catchment device, turn off the
motor and wait until the cutting gear has stopped running.
After emptying the grass catchment device, reattach carefully.
• Never drive across gravel while the motor is running
– impacting stones!
• Avoid mowing wet grass where possible.
• Switch off the lawnmower, pull the mains plug and wait for
the lawnmower to stop running if, for example:
a) leaving the lawnmower
b) unblocking a blade
c) intending to check, clean or work on the lawnmower
d) you have encountered a foreign object, in which case you
should check the lawnmower for damage and carry out
any necessary repairs.
e) the lawnmower is vibrating heavily (switch off immediately
and ascertain the cause).
f) you wish to change the settings or carry out cleaning work.
g) you wish to check whether the connection cables have
become tangled or damaged.
• If the lawnmower has a wheel actuation device, this must not
be started simultaneously with the motor.
• If the connection cable is damaged during use, it must be
immediately disconnected from the mains power supply.
Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from
the mains power supply.
