and hedge cuttings,

for transporting cuttings.

Preparatory measures

- Always wear robust
shoes with high-
grip soles and long
trousers when mowing.
Never mow barefoot or in
sandals.
- Carefully inspect the
complete area on which the
appliance is to be used and
remove any stones, sticks,
wires, bones and other
foreign objects which could
be thrown up by the
appliance.
Before using, always
ensure that the cutting tool,
the fastening bolt and the
entire cutting unit are in
good condition.
- Never use the mower with
damaged safety devices,
safety guards, without
functioning engine / blade
brakes or attached safety
devices.
- The switch mechanisms
installed in the appliance
must not be removed or
bypassed, e.g. by fixing a
control lever to the
handlebar.
- Only give (or lend) the
appliance to persons who
are familiar with this model
and how to operate it.
Always provide them with
the instruction manual.
- Please observe the local
regulations regarding
permitted operation times
for engine-driven gardening
tools.

Mowing procedure

- Do not mow wet grass or
mow in the rain. The risk of
accidents is higher if the
grass is wet (increased
danger of slipping for
operator).
- Only mow during the day or
when there is enough light.
- Always ensure good
stability on slopes. Avoid
mowing on excessively
steep slopes in order to
prevent loss of control of
the appliance.
- Only mow at walking speed.
Working quickly with the
appliance increases the risk
of injury due to stumbling,
slipping etc.
- Only mow at right-angles to
the slope and never up or
down the slope, in order to
avoid being run over by the
running lawn mower in the
case of loss of control of
the appliance or of falling.
