Safety instructions for hand-operated lawnmow-
ers
Note
• Read the usage instructions with due care. Famil-
iarise yourself with the settings and proper opera-
tion of the machine.
• Never allow children or other persons who are un-
familiar with the usage instructions to use the lawn-
mower. Contact your local governmental agency
for information regarding minimum age require-
ments for operating the lawnmower.
• Never mow while people, especially children or an-
imals are nearby. Always keep in mind that the op-
erator is responsible for accidents involving other
persons and/or their property.
• If you give the device to any other person, give
them this operating manual as well.
• Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in
sandals.
• Check the terrain on which the machine will be
used and remove all objects that could be caught
up and violently flung out of the chute (like stones,
toys, sticks and wires etc.).
• Only mow in daylight or with good artificial lighting.
• Keep third-parties away from the working range of
the device!
• Use non-slip foot protection and close-fitting cloth-
ing.
• Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap and
make sure that all moving parts have stopped and
that the ignition key, if present, is removed:
- Before you dislodge any blockages or clogs in
the ejector chute.
- Before checking or cleaning the lawnmower or
performing work on it.
- If it came into contact with a foreign object. In-
spect the mower for damage and perform the re-
quired repairs before starting again and working
with the mower, If the lawnmower begins to ex-
perience exceptionally strong vibrations, immedi-
ately switch it off and check it.
- any time you leave the mower
- Before you refuel.
m WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable:
• Only store petrol in the designated containers.
• Only refuel the unit outdoors and do not smoke
when filling.
• Petrol must be filled before starting the engine.
While the engine runs or if the mower is hot, the
fuel cap must not be opened and petrol must not
be filled.
• If petrol overflows, no attempts should be made
to start the engine. Instead, the machine must be
removed from the area contaminated with petrol.
Do not try to start the engine until the fuel vapours
have evaporated.
• For safety reasons, the fuel tank cap and other fuel
caps must be replaced if damaged.
• Never store petrol near a source of sparks. Always
use a tested canister. Keep petrol away from chil-
dren.
• Replace defective silencers.
• Before use, always visually check whether the cut-
ting tools, fastening bolts and the entire cutting unit
are worn out or damaged. To prevent an imbalance,
worn out or damaged cutting tools and bolts may
only be replaced in sets.
• Please note that where a mower has more than one
blade, the rotation of one of the blades can cause
the others to rotate as well.
Handling
• Do not run the combustion engine in closed rooms
in which hazardous carbon monoxide can collect.
• Only mow in daylight or with good artificial lighting.
Avoid using the device on wet grass as far as pos-
sible.
• Do not use the lawnmower in a thunderstorm - risk
of lightning strike!
• Always maintain good footing on inclines.
• Only guide the machine at walking pace.
• The following applies to wheeled machines: Always
mow across hills i.e. never straight up or straight
down.
• Take particular care when changing direction on a
slope.
• Do not mow on excessively steep slopes and near-
by rubbish tips, ditches and dykes. Take particular
care when reversing the lawnmower or pulling it to-
wards you.
• Switch off the lawnmower and ensure that the
blade has stopped rotating whenever the mower
has to be tilted for transporting over areas other
than lawns and whenever it has to be moved from
or to the area you want to mow.
• Never use the lawnmower if the blade or safe-
ty grilles are damaged, or without the attached
guards, e.g. deflectors and/or grass catching de-
vices.
• Do not adjust or overclock the engine speed set-
tings.
• Release the engine brake before you start the en-
gine.
• Disconnect all work tools and drives before starting
the engine.
• Start the engine with care, in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Make sure that your
feet are far enough away from the mower blade!
• Do not tilt the lawnmower when you start
the engine unless the mower must raised
off of the ground a little in order to start it.
