Important!
When using the equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety regulations with due
care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, hand over these
operating instructions and safety regulations as
well. We cannot accept any liability for damage
or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow
these instructions and the safety instructions.
1. Safety instructions for handoperated
lawn mowers
Note
1. Read the directions with due care. Familiarize
yourself with the settings and proper operation
of the machine.
2. Never allow children or other persons who are
not familiar with the operating instructions to
use the mower. Contact your local governmental
agency for information regarding minimum age
requirements for operating the mower.
3. Never mow in the direct vicinity of persons -
especially children - or animals. Always keep in
mind that the operator is responsible for
accidents involving other persons and/or their
property.
4. If you give the equipment to any other person,
give them these operating instructions as well.
Preliminary measures
1. Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or
in sandals.
2. Check the grounds on which the machine will
be used and remove all objects that could be
caught up and violently flung out of the chute.
3. Warning: Petrol is highly flammable! Therefore:
- Only store petrol in containers designed to hold
petroleum-based liquids.
- Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke
during the refueling process.
- Always refuel the lawn mower before starting
the engine. Always ensure that the fuel tank cap
is closed when the engine is running and when
the mower is hot; also do not refuel.
- If petrol has overflowed, do not under any
circumstances attempt to start the engine.
Instead, remove the machine from the affected
area. Avoid starting the engine until the petrol
fumes have completely evaporated.
- For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other
tank closures must be replaced if they are
damaged.
4. Replace defective mufflers.
5. Before using the mower, visually inspect it to
ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and the
entire cutting apparatus are in good working
order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To prevent
any imbalance, replace worn out or damaged
blades and mounting bolts as a set only (if
applicable).
6. Please note that where a mower has more than
one blade, the rotation of one of the blades can
cause the others to rotate as well.
Handling
1. Do not let the combustion engine run in
enclosed areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide
gas can build up.
2. Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit
conditions. Avoid using the machine on wet
grass as far as possible.
3. Always maintain good footing on inclines.
4. Only operate the machine at a walking pace.
5. For machines with wheels: Always mow across
hills i.e. never straight up or straight down.
6. Be particularly careful when you change
