Working instructions

General working instructions

• If possible, mow dry grass to go gentle
on the sod.
• Adjust the cutting height so that the de-
vice is not overloaded.
• Move the device at walking speed and
in lines as straight as possible. For a
flawless mowing result, the lines should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Do not move backwards.
• Always move across the slope when
working on hills.
• If the blades come into contact with
a foreign object, turn the engine off
immediately. Wait until the blade co-
mes to a stop and check the device for
damage. Only continue working if the
device is undamaged.
• Switch off the device during longer
breaks or when transporting it and wait
until the blade has stopped moving.
• Clean the device after each use, as
described in the section "Cleaning/
storage".
