WARNING
Objects thrown upwards can cause serious injuries.
Before mowing areas covered in leaves in particular, remove all
stones, sticks, wires, toys and other objects from the lawn.
Never use the equipment with the protective devices damaged or
missing.
Missing or damaged safety and protective devices are a safety hazard
for both you and other people.
Before initial operation, check that the cutting blade screw is fastened,
then examine the cutter bar for a tight fit, wear and damage every time
you intend to use the mower. Have an authorised workshop replace a
worn or damaged blade. Have an authorised workshop tighten the
cutting blade screw.
WARNING
If the safety key is not removed during work on the tool, the motor may
start up and this can result in serious injuries.
Contact with the rotating cutter bar can lead to serious hand and foot
injuries. Objects thrown upwards can cause serious injuries.
Switch the motor off and wait until the cutting tool comes to a
standstill; remove the safety key:
– before maintenance and repair work;
– if the mower needs lifting or tilting e.g. for transport purposes;
– when driving outside the lawn on paths or streets;
– when the mower is being transported to and from the area to be
mowed;
– when the mower is left unsupervised;
– before the battery is removed from the battery compartment on
the motor or inserted there
Consult the operating instructions for respective cleaning or
maintenance instructions.
Insufficient tool maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
WARNING
Contact with the rotating cutter bar can lead to serious hand and foot
injuries. Objects thrown upwards can cause serious injuries.
Switch the motor off and wait until the cutting tool comes to a
standstill:
– before setting the cutting height;
– before removing the grass collecting bag.
CAUTION
Contact with the sharp edges of the blade and other sharp edges of
the machine can cause severe injury.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
5 PROPER USE
• The equipment is exclusively designed for mowing grass and lawn areas within the
context of gardening and landscape care ("Proper use"). Any use going beyond
this is considered not proper; the manufacturer is not liable for any damage
resulting from such use, the risk is borne by the user alone. Proper use also
includes adherence to the operation, maintenance and service conditions
prescribed by the manufacturer.
• Special care is required during use in public areas, parks, sports facilities, on roads
and in agricultural and forestry operations.
• The mower must not be used in particular for trimming bushes, hedges and
shrubs, for cutting twining plants or greenery on roofs and in flower baskets or
boxes, for extraction or blowing on pavements.
• The use of any additional equipment and attachments not approved by the
manufacturer is prohibited. If such additional equipment and attachments are used,
the CE conformity and guarantee are considered null and void. Unauthorised
modifications to this lawn mower exclude the manufacturer from liability for any
damage resulting from these modifications.
6 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR THE HAND-HELD
ROTARY LAWNMOWER
General safety instructions
Always read the operating instructions carefully for your own protection
and to guarantee perfect function. Familiarise yourself with the operating
elements and correct machine operation. Keep the operating instructions
for reference purposes.
• Remember that the machine operator or user is responsible for accidents with
other persons or their property.
• These operating instructions belong to the machine and must be handed over to
the new owner in the event of the machine being sold.
• Never allow children and persons under 16 years of age or other persons not
familiar with the operating instructions to use the machine. Local regulations can
specify the minimum age of the user.
• Explain the potential hazards and how to avoid accidents to all those who are to
use the equipment. This equipment may only be used, serviced and repaired by
persons who are familiar with it and have been informed about the hazards. The
relevant accident prevention provisions and the other generally recognised
technical safety regulations must be observed.
• This equipment is not intended to be used by persons with limited physical,
sensory or mental aptitude or lack of experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety and have received instructions
from this person as to how the equipment is used. This supervisor must decide in
advance whether the person with limited physical, sensory or mental aptitude is
suitable for this task.
Never use the mower while persons, particularly children, or animals are
nearby.
• Keep your machine safe! Always keep unused equipment without the safety key
and without battery in a clean state in a dry, locked room and inaccessible to
children.
• Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
• The laying of cables must not be manipulated, e.g. by removing cable clamps or
attaching additional cable ties! The cables must lie against the outside of the bar in
such a way that they are neither crushed nor overstretched when the bar is folded.
A damaged cable may result in a technical defect of the equipment.
Preparatory measures
• When mowing, you must always wear a strong, closed, non-slip pair of shoes or
safety shoes and long trousers. Avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing with cords
or belts hanging down. Do not mow whilst you are barefooted or wearing sandals.
Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes.
• Loud noises can lead to hearing impairments. We recommend wearing ear
defenders.
Before and during mowing, check the whole area the equipment is being
used on and remove all stones, sticks, wires, toys and other objects which
can be caught and catapulted out.
Before and during the mowing process, check the area for live wires and
remove them if possible.
Never move over live wires when the cutting tool is switched on. Risk of
electric shock!
If a live wire is damaged, switch off the equipment and disconnect the wire
from the supply grid.
• If you also use a mowing robot for lawn care, the following safety instructions must
be heeded with regard to the working area of the mowing robot:
– Before mowing on these areas, always check the range of the boundary wire.
– If the wires are laid in the ground they must be checked, no wires may be
visible, with particular attention necessary at the charging station.
– If the boundary wires are laid above ground they should be routed tight
directly on the ground and not lie loose in the grass. The wires must be
sufficiently fixed using boundary staples, see the operating manual.
– The boundary staples must not project, if this is the case push them firmly in
place.
– Remove any residual wires before starting to mow.
In the cases described above, there is a risk of the wire being pulled in and wound
up by the tool; this can lead to serious injury.
