by the manufacturer. The use of parts
from other manufacturers may result
in injuries and will result in immediate
invalidation of the guarantee.
Handling:
• Do not run the combustion engine in
enclosed spaces, in which dangerous
carbon monoxide can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or with good arti-
ficial lighting. An unlit working area can
result in accidents.
• If possible, avoid using the equipment
on wet grass.
• Always ensure secure positioning, par-
ticularly on hillsides, landfills, ditches or
dykes. This will give you better control
of the equipment in unexpected situa-
tions.
- Always work across the slope,
never upwards or downwards.
- Take particular care when changing
the direction of travel on the slope.
- Do not mow on excessively steep
slopes (max. 10°).
• Run the equipment only at walking
speed.
• Take particular care when turning the
equipment around or pulling it towards
you.
• Stop the cutting tool if the equipment
has to be tipped up for transportation
over a surface other than grass and
when moving the equipment from and
to the surface to be mown.
• Do not use the equipment with dam-
aged safety equipment or guards or
with no safety equipment attached, e.g.
impact protection and/or grass catch-
ers. This ensures that the equipment
remains safe.
• Do not change the engine regulator
setting and do not over-rev it. This may
damage the equipment.

• Before starting, the engine, disengage
all cutting tools and drives.
• Start or operate the start switch with
care and in accordance with the manu-
facturer's instructions. Ensure sufficient
space between feet and the cutting tool.
Risk of injury.
• When starting or activating the engine,
do not tip the equipment unless the
equipment has to be lifted for this proce-
dure. In this case, tip the equipment only
as far as is absolutely necessary and lift
only the side that is away from the user.
• Do not start the engine when standing
in front of the ejection channel.
• Switch on the engine in accordance
with the instructions and only if your feet
are a safe distance away from the cut-
ting tools.
• Do not place hands or feet under rotat-
ing parts. Always keep away from the
ejection opening. A moment of careless-
ness when using the equipment may
result in serious injury.
• Do not leave or carry the equipment
when the engine is running.
• Switch off the engine, take out the spark
plug connector and ensure that all mov-
ing parts are still:
- Before releasing blockages or remov-
ing obstructions in the ejection channel;
- Before checking, cleaning or working
on the equipment;
- If a foreign body is struck. Look for
damage to the equipment and carry
out the necessary repairs before
restarting and working with the equip-
ment;
- If the equipment starts to vibrate unu-
sually strongly, an immediate check is
required.
