Starting up
Connect the mains lead (Fig. 1/Item 6) to an extension cable.
It is imperative to secure the extension cable with a cable
grip as shown in Figure 18.
Important!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch (Fig. 17/Item
1) which must be pressed before the ON switch (Fig. 17/Item
2) can be activated. The lawn mower switches itself off when
the switch is released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that
the machine functions properly. Before you perform any
repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the
blade is not rotating and that the power supply is
disconnected.
Important!
Never open the discharge flap if the grass box is
being emptied and the motor is still running. The rotating
blade can cause serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag carefully.
Always switch off the motor before you remove these items.
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.
