The safety distance between the blade casing and the user provided by the
guide struts must be maintained at all times. Take special care when mowing
and changing direction on embankments and slopes. Ensure that you have a
secure surface to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles that offer good
grip, and long trousers. Always mow across the slope (not in up or down
direction).
Do not use the mower on gradients exceeding 15°for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and pulling the lawn mower
danger of stumbling.
7.1 Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines. Only mow with sharp,
perfect blades so that the blades of grass do not fray, making the lawn turn
yellow.
To achieve a good cut, guide the lawn mower in lines that are as straight as
possible.
These lines should always overlap by a few centimeters so that you do not
leave any strips. How often you should mow the lawn depends on how fast
the lawn grows. During the main growth period (May – June), mow it twice a
week, and once a week at other times. The cutting height should be between
4 and 6 cm and the growth before the next cut should be between 4 and 5 cm.
If the lawn grows longer than this on occasion, do not make the mistake of
cutting to normal length straight away since this will damage the lawn. Never
cut the grass by more than half its height. Keep the underside of the mower
casing clean and remove all grass deposits from it. Deposits make it more
difficult to start the mower and also adversely affect the mowing quality and
the grass discharge. On slopes mow across the slope (not in up or down
direction).You can counteract the tendency of the mower to slide down the
slope by setting it at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height to suit the
actual length of the grass. Make several passes to ensure that you do not
remove more than 4 cm of grass length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any inspections of the blade.
Remember than the blade will continue to turn for a few seconds after the
