Owing to the voltage fluctuations caused
by this machine during the run-up period,
other devices connected to the same
circuit may be subject to interference in the
case of unfavourable power supply
conditions. In this case, appropriate steps
should be taken (e.g. connection to a
different circuit than the one used by the
affected device, or operation of the
machine using a circuit with a lower
impedance).

the mains plug and ensure that
the cutting tool has come to a
complete standstill

or bent blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk
of injury through defective parts!

work on the mower, e.g. adjusting the
cutting height, opening or closing the
discharge flap;
– If the mower begins to vibrate
excessively. In this case, the complete

must be checked for possible damage
and loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced prior to further use, loose
parts must be fastened/tightened.
