breaks in good time. Take a
sensible approach to the work.
• When working, ensure a firm
stance, particularly on slopes.
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
excessively steep slopes.
• Run the equipment only at a
walking pace. Take particular
care when turning the equip-
ment around, pulling it towards
you or going backwards.
• Switch on the equipment care-
fully and in accordance with
the directions in these instruc-
tions. Ensure sufficient distance
between feet and the rotating
blades.
• Do not tilt the equipment when
starting other than if it is nec-
essary 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 work-
ing 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
all times.
• Do not start the motor while
standing in front of the dis-
charge duct.
• When starting or turning the
motor on, the lawnmower must
not be tilted, unless it is re-
quired to lift the lawnmower in
the process. In this event, tilt it
only as far as absolutely neces-
sary and lift it only on the side
facing away from the user.
• Stop the cutting blades when
the lawnmower has to be
tipped for transport over other
areas than grass and when the
lawnmower is moved from and
to the area to be mowed.
Caution! Danger! The blade
continues to run after switch-
ing 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. Remove
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 manufac-
turer. 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 speci-
fied power range and do not
change the regulator settings
on the motor. Do not use low-
