Safe operation

DANGER ● Check that the
blade, blade bolts and blade unit
are undamaged each time be-
fore using the device. ● Never
lock the On/Off switch in the ON
position, this is extremely dan-
gerous. ● Pull the device back-
wards only when absolutely
necessary. If you need to pull
the device away from a wall or
obstacle, first pull downwards to
prevent yourself from stumbling
or pulling the device over your
feet. ● Danger of coming into
contact with the open blade or
being hit by flung objects. Do not
tip the device when starting the
motor or while the motor is run-
ning. If tipping is absolutely nec-
essary, e.g. to make starting
easier, then you can raise the
front of the device by 5 cm.
Press the handle carefully
downwards for this. You must
return the device to the normal
operating position (i.e. all four
wheels on the ground) before
starting to mow. ● Knives that
come into contact with a live ca-
ble may energize exposed metal
parts of the device and cause an
electric shock.
WARNING ● The blades on
the device are sharp. Wear stur-
dy protective gloves and work
carefully when installing, replac-
ing, cleaning or checking the
seating of screws. ● Replace
18
worn or damage parts as a com-
plete set to maintain the correct
balance. ● Ensure that the de-
vice is in a safe condition by reg-
ularly checking that all bolts,
nuts and screws are screwed
tight. ● Replace any worn or
damaged parts before operating
the device. ● Never use the de-
vice if the on/off switch on the
handle does not switch on and
off correctly. ● Do not forcefully
operate the device. ● Stop the
motor, in order to stop the blade
when transporting the device to
and from the mowing area or
when tipping the device for
crossing ground that is not cov-
ered with grass. ● Stop the
blade before crossing gravel
surfaces. ● Never use the de-
vice with defective or absent
protective devices, such as e.g.
deflectors and/or the grass bag.
● Do not bring your hands or feet
in the vicinity of, or underneath
rotating parts. Switch the motor
on according to the operating in-
structions. ● Never lift or carry
the device while the motor is
running. ● Uneven terrain car-
ries an increased risk of slipping
and accidents. Avoid holes, fur-
rows, uneven areas, stones and
other hidden objects. ● Start the
device only when you are posi-
tioned in the safe area behind
the handle.
