Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the
blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine has been switched
off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely
attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the
contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it.
In the event that the blade strikes an object,
immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for
the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect
the condition of the blade and the blade mount.
Replace any parts that are damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:
1. Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or
over anything that could damage the mower. The
lawn mower could be damaged and/or the
machine could inflict bodily injury.
2. A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the
skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts
unless the mower has been switched off for a
while and you know that they have cooled down!
3. Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and
steep grades.
4. Insufficient daylight or an insufficient level of
artificial light is one reason not to mow.
5. Check the mower, the blade and other parts if
they have struck a foreign object or if the machine
vibrates more than usual.
6. Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the
engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
7. Pay special attention if you are mowing directly
next to a street or are close by one (traffic).
Always keep the grass chute pointed away from
the street.
8. Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have
trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other
way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is
standing behind you (especially little children,
who are more difficult to see).
9. When mowing over thick, high grass, select the
highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.
Before you remove any grass or blockages of any
kind, switch off the engine and pull the plug boot.
10. Never remove any safety-related parts.
11. Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or
is running.
7.4 Emptying the collection bag
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important. Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the grass collection bag, use one hand to
lift up the chute flap and the other to grab onto the basket
carry-handle. Remove the basket (Fig. 4). For safety
reasons, the chute flap automatically falls down after
removing the grass basket and closes off the rear
chute opening. If any grass remains in the opening, it
will be easier to restart the engine if you pull the
mower back approximately 1 metre.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass bag and
especially the air grill must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the grass bag only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top.
7.5 After mowing
1. Allow the engine to cool before you put the lawn
mower in an enclosed area.
2. Remove grass, foliage, grease and oil before
storing the mower. Do not place any objects on
top of the mower.
3. Before using the mower again, retighten all nuts
and screws. Tighten all screws which were
slackened.
4. Also be sure to empty the grass basket.
5. Disconnect the spark plug boot to prevent
unauthorized use.
6. Ensure that you do not park the mower next to
any source of danger. Petrol fumes can lead to
explosions.
7. Only original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer may be used for repairs (see
address on the warranty certificate).
8. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction
pump if you are not intending to use the mower
for an extended period of time.
9. Tell your children not to use the mower.
It is not a toy.
