Slowly step away from the machine. Unplug from the mains socket. When mowing always
make sure that the connection cable never gets into the area of the blade.
Accident
•
No person, especially children, or animals should be allowed to stand close to the mower
while it is in use.
•
Risk of injury due to ejected stones or other objects.
Falling over
•
Operate the mower at walking speed only.
•
Be particularly careful when mowing in reverse and pulling the appliance towards you.
•
When mowing on steep slopes, there is a risk of the mower tipping over and you could be
injured as a result. Mow crossways to the slope, never upwards and downwards. Do not mow
on inclines greater than 20%.
•
Be particularly careful when changing direction.
•
Mowing along perimeters involves a risk of injury. Mowing near edges, hedges, or steep
inclines is dangerous. Keep a safe distance from perimeters when mowing.
•
If the ground is wet the mower could slip due to reduced traction and overturn. Mow only
when the grass is dry.
•
Work only by daylight or in good artificial lighting.
Injury
•
Always maintain a safe distance from the rotating blade.
•
Never place your hands, feet, or other parts of the body near rotating parts.
•
Stop the motor when the lawnmower has to be tilted and must travel over surfaces other than
grass for transporting.
•
Never lift or carry the appliance when the motor is running. Remove the mains plug from the
socket beforehand.
•
Switch off the motor and take out the mains plug when you release any jams, remove
blockages in the ejection channel or before checking, cleaning, transporting, adjusting or
working on the lawnmower.
•
If you remove the grass catcher, you or other persons might get injured due to ejected,
mowed materials or foreign bodies.
•
Never empty the grass sack while the motor is running. To do this, switch off the lawnmower.
•
Check the surface on which the appliance is to be used and remove all objects that the
appliance can take up and eject out.
•
If a foreign body (e.g. stone) is hit by the cutting blade or if the lawnmower starts vibrating
abnormally: stop the motor immediately and remove the mains plug. Check the appliance for
damage, and have any damage repaired at a Cobra Service Centre.
•
In the case of lawnmowers with rotating blades, never stand in front of the grass ejection
holes.
Tripping over
•
While turning the machine around you could trip over the mains cable and injure yourself.
Feed the cable behind you in such a way that it stays out of the path along which you are
walking while mowing, and is kept away from the cutting blades.
•
Operate the mower at walking speed only.
Caution!
Damage to the machine
•
Stones, branches or other objects lying around can cause damage to the lawnmower and its
operation. Remove all objects from the appliance’s path before every use.
•
Do not operate the machine if it is not in perfect working order. Undertake a thorough visual
