when tired, lacking concentra-
tion or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Always take
breaks in good time. Take a
sensible approach to the work.
• When working, ensure a firm

Always work across the slope,
never upwards or downwards.
Take particular care when
changing the direction of travel
on the slope. Do not work on

• Switch on the equipment care-
fully and in accordance with the
directions in these instructions.
Ensure sufficient distance bet-
ween feet and the rotating blades.
• Do not tilt the equipment when
starting other than if it is ne-
cessary to do so when starting
up in long grass. In this case,
tilt the equipment by pressing
down the handle bar such that
the front wheels of the equip-
ment are raised. Always check
that both hands are in the wor-
king position before returning
the equipment to the ground.
• Do not work without the grass
bag or collision guard. Keep
away from the ejection hole at

Caution! Danger! The blade
continues to run after swit-
ching off.
There is a risk of injury.
• The equipment is not to be
lifted or transported while the
motor is running. Switch off the
equipment if it has to be tilted in
transit, when crossing surfaces
other than grass, and when the
equipment is being transported
to and from the surfaces to be
mowed.
• Always keep the grass ejection
hole clean and clear. Remo-
ve cut material only when the
equipment is stopped.
• Do not leave the equipment un-
attended in the workplace.
• Do not work with equipment
that is damaged, incomplete, or
has been modified without the
authorisation of the manufactu-
rer. Do not use the equipment
with damaged safety devices or
screens or with missing safety
equipment such as deflection
and/or grass collection devices.
• Do not overload the equipment.
Work only within the specified
power range and do not change
the regulator settings on the
motor. Do not use low-powered
machines for heavy work. Do
not use your equipment for
purposes other than those for
which it is designed.
