Owing to the voltage fluctuations caused
by this machine during the run-up period,
other devices connected to the same
circuit may be subject to interference in the
case of unfavourable power supply
conditions. In this case, appropriate steps
should be taken (e.g. connection to a
different circuit than the one used by the
affected device, or operation of the
machine using a circuit with a lower
impedance).
Switch off the motor, disconnect
the mains plug and ensure that
the cutting tool has come to a
complete standstill
– before remedying blockages, including
those in the discharge chute,
– if the cutting tool has hit a foreign object.
The cutting tool needs to be checked for
possible damage. The lawn mower
must not be operated with a damaged
or bent blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk
of injury through defective parts!
– Before you check, clean or carry out
work on the mower, e.g. adjusting the
cutting height, opening or closing the
discharge flap;
– If the mower begins to vibrate
excessively. In this case, the complete
machine, in particular the cutting tool
must be checked for possible damage
and loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced prior to further use, loose
parts must be fastened/tightened.
– Before leaving the machine
unattended;
– Before lifting, or carrying the machine;
– Before transporting the machine.
Never lift or carry a mower with the motor
running or the mains lead connected.
It is not permitted to transport anything or
anyone, particularly children, on the
