Before mowing
Important notes:
• Make sure you have a secure footing, wear shoes
with non-slip, well gripping soles and long trousers.
Never mow barefoot or in sandals.
• Check the cutting blade. If a blade is bent or other-
wise damaged, it must be replaced with an original
blade.
• Only fill the fuel tank outdoors. Use a filling funnel
and a measuring jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
• Read and follow the operating instructions and also
the instructions regarding the engine and the ac-
cessories. Keep the manual accessible for other
users of the device.
• Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine
outdoors.
• Make sure that all safety devices are in place and
working properly.
• The device should only be operated by a person
who is capable of doing so.
• Mowing wet grass can be dangerous. Mow grass
when it is as dry as possible.
• Instruct other persons or children to stay away from
the mower.
• Never mow when visibility is poor.
• Pick up loose objects lying around, such as stones,
toys, sticks and wires, etc., from the ground before
mowing.
Hints for mowing correctly
m Attention! Never open the discharge flap when
the catcher is being emptied and the engine is
still running. The rotating blade can lead to in-
juries.
Always secure the discharge flap and the catch bas-
ket carefully. Switch off the engine before removing.
The safety distance between the blade housing and
the user given by the guide rails must always be
maintained. Special care must be taken when mow-
ing and changing direction on embankments and
slopes. Make sure you have a secure footing, wear
shoes with non-slip, well gripping soles and long trou-
sers. Always mow across slopes.
For safety reasons, slopes with an inclination of more
than 15 degrees must not be mowed with the lawn
mower.
Exercise particular caution when moving backwards
and pulling the lawnmower. Risk of tripping!
Mulching
When mulching, the cuttings are shredded in the
closed mower housing and then dispersed on the
lawn. Grass collection and disposal is not required.
m NOTE! Mulching is only possible on relatively
short lawns.
To use the mulching function, unhook the catch bas-
ket (16) and slide the mulching adapter (Fig.10-12
/ 19) into the discharge opening and close the dis-
charge flap (15).
Mowing
Cut only with sharp, clean cutting blades so that the
blades of grass do not fray and the lawn does not turn
yellow.
To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawnmower in the
straightest possible paths. These strips should always
overlap by a few centimetres so that no patches re-
main.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and
remove any grass deposits. Deposits make the start-
ing process more difficult, impair cutting quality and
grass discharge. On slopes, the cutting path should
be made perpendicular to the slope. It is possible to
prevent the lawnmower from slipping by lifting it up-
wards at an angle. Set the cutting height depending
on the actual length of the lawn. Carry out several
passes so that a maximum of 4 cm of lawn is re-
moved at a time.
Switch off the engine before carrying out any checks
on the blade. Remember that the blade will contin-
ue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is
switched off. Never try to stop the blade.
Regularly check that the blade is properly fastened,
in good condition and sharpened. Sharpen or replace
it if this is not the case. If the moving blade strikes an
object, stop the mower and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the
blade and the blade holder. If it is damaged, it must
be replaced.
Tips for mowing:
• Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or
over solid objects. The lawnmower could be dam-
aged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust pipe or drive unit can burn
the skin. Thus, do not touch these parts.
• Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and
steep grades.
• Only mow when there is sufficient light.
• 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 off the spark
plug connector.
• Pay special attention to traffic if you are mowing
directly next to a street or are close by one. Always
keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
• Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have
trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other
way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is
standing behind you (especially little children).
