■
While operating the lawnmower, always
wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases
the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
■
Do not operate the lawnmower in wet
grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the
risk of slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
■
Do not operate the lawnmower on exces-
sively steep slopes. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
■
When working on slopes, always be sure
of your footing, always work across the
face of slopes, never up or down and ex-
ercise extreme caution when changing di-
rection. This reduces the risk of loss of con-
trol, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
■
Use extreme caution when reversing or
pulling the lawnmower towards you. Al-
ways be aware of your surroundings. This
reduces the risk of tripping during operation.
■
Do not touch blades and other hazardous
moving parts while they are still in mo-
tion. This reduces the risk of injury from mov-
ing parts.
■
When clearing jammed material or clean-
ing the lawnmower, make sure all power
switches are off and the battery pack is
disconnected. Unexpected operation of the
lawnmower may result in serious personal in-
jury.
■
Always allow the product to cool down before
storing.
■
Empty the grassbox before storing.
■
When adjusting the machine, make sure not
to pinch your fingers between the moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.

Vibration load
Vibration total values and noise emission
values
■
The declared vibration total values and noise
emission values have been measured ac-
cording to a standardised test method and
can be used to compare one power tool with
another.
■
The declared vibration total values and noise
emission values can also be used for an ini-
tial assessment of the exposure.
■
The vibration total values and noise emission
values may differ from the given value during
28
actual use of the power tool, depending on
how the power tool is used.
■
Adhere the safety measures according to the
safety chapter. Try to keep the vibration load
as low as possible. Exemplary measures to
reduce vibration are the wearing of gloves
when using the tool and the limitation of
working time. All parts of the operating cycle
must be taken into account (e.g. times when
the power tool is switched off and those in
which it is switched on but runs without load).
Danger due to vibration
■
The actual magnitude of the vibration emis-
sions during the use of the appliance may de-
viate from that stated by the manufacturer.
Observe the following influencing factors be-
fore or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as intended?
■
Is the material being cut or processed in
the proper manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper condition of
use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or
is the correct cutting tool installed?
■
Are the handle grips and any optional vi-
bration grips mounted, and are they firm-
ly attached to the appliance?
■
Only operate the tool at the motor speed re-
quired for the respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order to reduce noise
and vibrations.
■
The noise and vibrations of the tool may in-
crease due to improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health damage. In this
case, immediately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably
reduces stress due to vibration over the en-
tire working time.
■
Extensive use of the tool exposes the opera-
tor to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory
issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tin-
gling, itching, pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the colour or condition
