Designated use
This appliance is designed for frequent mowing
of a short, dry grass on a cramped, small lawn.
The cuttings remain on the lawn as fertiliser.
This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use as well
as unauthorised conversions or modifications are
regarded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in voiding of the warranty as well as loss of
conformity; the manufacturer will thus decline any
responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered
by the user or third parties.

grass.

There must be no foreign objects on the area to
be mowed, e.g. stones, pieces of wood, bottles.

Residual risks
Even during correct use of the appliance, there is

Inhalation of cuttings particles if no breathing
protection is worn.

Lacerations from reaching into the rotating
cutting blade.
