• Loud noises can lead to hearing impairments. Wear ear protection.
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.
• Low-hanging branches and similar obstacles can injure the operator or interfere
with the mowing operation. Before mowing, identify potential obstacles such as
low-hanging branches, and trim back or remove those obstacles.
WARNING
– Petrol is highly inflammable and explosive.
Fire and explosions can cause severe injury and material damage.
– Store petrol only in a suitable container, and out of the reach of
children.
– Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a
plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling up.
– Only fill the tank in the open and when the engine is cold. No smoking
and no naked flames while filling the tank.
– Fuel operated equipment, which is positioned on a load floor or a
trailer, must not be refuelled from a filling pump, but must be refuelled
by a fuel container.
– The petrol must be filled into the tank before starting the engine.
– Whilst the engine is running or if the machine is hot, the lid of the
petrol tank must not be opened, nor may the tank be filled with more
petrol.
– If petrol has overflowed, you must not attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the machine from the area contaminated with petrol,
and wipe the overflowed petrol off the engine. Avoid any attempt to
start the engine until the petrol fumes have evaporated.
– For safety reasons, the petrol tank and the petrol container must be
closed again carefully.
– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank and the petrol tank lid
must be exchanged.
• Before use, always carry out a visual inspection to see whether the cutting tool,
attachment screws and the complete cutting unit are worn or damaged. To avoid
unbalance, worn or damaged blades and attachment screws must be replaced by
an authorised workshop.
• The condition of the pictograms must be checked every time the device is
used. Worn or damaged pictograms must be replaced.
Handling
• The machine must not be operated in potentially explosive surroundings.
• The internal combustion engine must never be used in enclosed rooms in
which dangerous exhaust fumes can build up - danger of poisoning.
• People with pacemakers must not touch any parts of the engine which
might be live.
• Attention! Do not operate the unit in front of the extraction openings of air
conditioning systems.
• Do not mow in bad weather when lightning could strike.
• Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Risk: Electric
shock!
• Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has cooled down.
Danger of burns!
• Do not wear radio or music headphones. Safe service and operation requires your
full attention.
• Only mow during daylight or if the lighting is good. Always push the
machine at walking pace.
• Please adjust the driving speed depending on the person and the terrain. Increase
speed gradually until you have reached a suitable driving speed, switch the motor
drive off if necessary.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstacles
that may obscure vision.
• Do not move too closely to holes, trenches and banks. The equipment can
suddenly topple over when a wheel suddenly gives way over the edge of a trench
or a bank or when an edge suddenly yields.
• Please be careful when mowing underneath playground equipment (e.g. swings).
The equipment could get into an unsafe position. This may result in risk of injury.
• Do not operate the equipment when you are sick, tired or under the influence of
alcohol, medicine or drugs.
• Avoid using the machine if possible on wet grass, in order to avoid the
danger of slipping.
• Always make sure that you are standing securely whilst mowing slopes.
Always mow at right angles to the slope, never mow straight up or down. Please
be especially careful when you change direction when mowing on a slope.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes! Mowing slopes always means additional
risks. Your lawnmower is powerful enough to mow on slopes with a gradient of up
to 46% (25° angle of slope). For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend
you do not exploit this theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you
have a firm stance. Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes
with a gradient in excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost.
• Please be especially careful when turning the machine or pulling it towards
yourself.
• If you walk backwards whilst using the machine, you can easily stumble so
this should be avoided. Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you are
standing securely and keep your balance at all times.
• Always observe the safety distance to the machine which is maintained by
the handlebar.
• In order to avoid the machine slipping when being carried, always hold the
machine by the grip devices provided (carrying handle, housing, handlebar ends or
transverse bar of the lower handlebar section). Do not grasp the machine by the
ejection flap!
• Note the weight of the machine before lifting or carrying it (see technical
data). Lifting heavy weights can lead to health problems.
• Never lift or carry the machine when the engine is running.
• Never use the machine with safety and protective devices damaged or missing.
Missing or damaged safety and protective devices are a safety hazard for both you
and other people.
Safety equipment includes ( see chapter Component description):
– Motor stop safety control bar (1)
The lawn mower is equipped with a motor stop device.
During operation and in the event of a hazard, the engine is switched
off by releasing the motor stop bar.
The engine and the blade must come to a standstill within 3 seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the
"component description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an
authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take
it to an authorised workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the engine has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like
noise can be heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise
after the engine has been stopped, it can be measured using a
stopwatch.
The function of the safety control bar must never be put out of
operation.
