Safety information
¾ Ensure children do not play with the device.
¾ Stop working if you notice people (especially
children) or pets in proximity.
¾ When working with or on the device, always
wear firm shoes, long trousers and other
appropriate personal protective equipment
(protective goggles, protective helmet,
hearing protection, work gloves, etc.) Wearing
personal protective equipment reduces the risk
of injuries. Avoid the wearing of loose clothing
or clothing with hanging cords or belts. Working
without ear protection may result in loss of
hearing.
Before use
¾ Before you begin work, make sure that you
are familiar with the device, its controls and
how to operate it.
¾ Check whether all fixing elements (nuts, bolts
and screws, etc.) are tightly fit to ensure that
the device is operated safely.
¾ Only operate the device in a technically
faultless state. Never change the engine
settings pre-configured in the factory. Have
damage repaired by a qualified technician or
service centre.
¾ Remove the adjustment tool or wrench before
switching on the device. A tool located in the
rotating cutting tools area may lead to injuries.
¾ Never use a device with defective, damaged
or missing safety/protective equipment.
Safety/protective equipment are a component
of the device, are there fore your protection and
must always be functioning. You must not modify
safety/protective devices, remove them or bypass
their function. Have damaged safety/protective
devices repaired or, if necessary, replaced by a
technician or service centre.
¾ Check the discharge flap for damage and tight
fitting.
¾ Check (by means of visual inspection)
whether the cutting blades and their fixings
are blunt, damaged or deformed.
¾ Before mowing, make sure that the lawn is
free from branches, stones, wire etc. and look
out for such objects the whole time when
mowing. Items may be seized and flung out.
¾ Connect trailers or attachment devices
carefully. Driving performance, especially
steering, braking capability, and overall stability
are affected by attachments, towed items, ballast
weights and the weight of a grass catcher when
full.
