Risk of poisoning!
Exhaust fumes, fuel and lubricants are toxic substan-
ces. Breathing in exhaust fumes may be fatal!
Use the appliance only outside, never use it in confi-
ned and bad ventilated areas.
Do not operate the unit in closed spaces where dan-
gerours carbon monoxide gases may accumulate.
Always carry out a visual inspection before use, to check
whether the appliance is damaged, in particular the
cutting tools, the fastening components or the entire
cutting unit.
The mower must not be operated without either the
complete grass capture device or the self-closing
removable protection device for the ejection opening
being attached.
Check all screw and plug-in connections and
protective equipment if firm and tightened properly
and whether all moving parts are running smooth
whenever the appliance is to be put into operation.
Check all start locking mechanisms and
pushbuttons for their correct functioning every time
before starting up.
The protective equipment on the appliance is
strictly prohibited to be disassembled, changed,
used in conflict with the designation and it is
prohibited to attach any protective equipment of
other manufacturers.
It is strictly prohibited to alter or manipulate any
of the sealed devices for motor speed.
The appliance must not be used if damaged or
safety equipment is defective. Replace any worn-out
and damaged parts.
Do not start the engine before your feet are in a safe
distance from the cutting tools.
Do not incline the appliance when being started.
Do not start the appliance when you are standing in
front of the ejection opening.
Provide a safe posture, especially on slopes. Do not
work on too steep slopes. Be particularly careful when
changing travelling direction on slopes.
It is dangerous to mow on slopes, ditches, dykes or in
the vicinity of rubbish dumps or similar places.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Be careful when going backwards – risk of
tripping!
Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions
when working with the machine. Poor lighting/light
conditions represent a high safety risk.
Do not use the appliance in bad weather, especially
when there is a risk of storm.
Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where
feasible.
Walk! Never run!
Pay maximum attention when turning around and
pulling the appliance to you.
Switch the mower off whenever carrying or inclining it
or when being outside a grass area. Wait until all rotating
parts have stopped.
If an undesirable item is encountered or the appliance
starts vibrating, the appliance must be switched off and
the socket plug removed. Check whether the appliance
is not damaged. Repair any damage.
Switch the appliance immediately off after finishing your
work.
Never remove the collection bag when the machine is
being operated. Always switch the machine off before
attaching or removing the collection bag.
Do not store the appliance in enclosed places just after
being switched off but let it cool down outdoors instead.
Never keep the unit with petrol in the tank inside a
building where petrol vapours could get in contact with
open fire or sparks.
When the appliance is not going to be used for a long
time, store it with an empty tank.
Replace any defective muffler.
Do not change the controlled engine setting and do not
rev the engine up.
Maintenance
Switch the engine off and remove the socket
plug before any work on the engine. Wait until
all rotating parts have stopped and the
appliance has cooled down.
Keep the appliance, especially the tank and engine,
clean at all times. Clean the ejection opening and cover
at regular intervals.
Regularly remove any remainders of grass and weed to
avoid an overheating of the shaft tube. Remainders of
grass and weeds get caught under the protection cover
avoiding a sufficient cooling of the shaft tube. Remove
the remainders carefully with a screwdriver or a similar
tool.
To reduce fire risks, periodically clean the cylinder flaps
with compressed air and clear the silencer area to get rid
of sawdust, branches, leaves or other debris.
To keep the danger of fire as low as possible the engine
and exhaust pipe must be free from grass, leaves and
excess grease.
Apply environment-friendly oil to all moving parts.
Check the collection bag at regular intervals for any wear
and aging.
Repairs and works specified in these Instructions may
only be performed by qualified authorised staff.
Use only original accessories and original spare parts. Com-
ponents for which there are no instructions for exchanging
should be replaced by the manufacturer only.
The use of non-original replacement parts is not permitted.
We cannot guarantee correct functioning if non-original
replacement parts are used.
Only a regularly maintained and treated appliance can
serve as a satisfactory aid. Insufficient maintenance and
care can lead to unforeseen accidents and injuries.
