gine and accessory equipment. Store the manual
in a place where it can be readily accessed by other
users of the machine.

Tips for proper mowing
m CAUTION! Never open the chute flap when the
catch bag has been detached (to be emptied) and
the engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass bas-
ket. Switch off the engine before emptying the grass
basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the mower housing. Be especially careful
when mowing and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy,
non-slip footwear and long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Mulching
In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread back
onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dis-
pose of the grass.
m Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is rel-
atively short.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris
bag (16), slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 10-12 / 19)
into the ejector opening and close the ejector opening
(15).
Mowing
Mowing can either take place with the grass box (16)
attached or using the side discharge (8) When using
the side discharge, the mulch insert (19) should be
attached.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This
will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. In-
sodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap
each other by a few centimetres in order to avoid bare
strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it
more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the
quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine
to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up
and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the hill
while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding out
of the straight line. Select the cutting height according
to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite
a bit, mow over it several times so that no more than 4
cm of grass are cut at one time. Switch off the engine
before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind
that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the engine has been switched off. Never attempt
to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely at-
tached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the con-
trary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In
the event that the blade strikes an object,immediately
switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition
of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
Tips for proper mowing:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or
over anything that could damage the mower. The
lawn mower could be damaged and/or the machine
could inflict bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the
skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts un-
less the mower has been switched off for a while
and you know that they have cooled down!
• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and
steep grades.
• Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of arti-
ficial light is one reason not to mow.
• Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they
have struck a foreign object or if the machine vi-
brates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the
engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot.
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly
next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always
keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
