Mowing on slopes

NOTE
The mower can be used on banks and slopes with a gradient of up to 58% (30°
angle).
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not exploit this
theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance.
Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in
excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost.

Handling the cable during use

Prepare the cable in such a way that the machine can pull it behind easily over the lawn
area already mown. When the mower is turned, the cable relief automatically places the
cable on the other side of the handle bar.
Make sure that the cable is kept away from the cutting tools and does not form any
loops.
Examine the mains connection cable before any mowing for signs of damage and only
use it if it is in perfect condition.

Checking operating safety

Pos: 18.9 /Innenteil/Mähbetrieb/Prüfung der Betriebssicherheit Text Elektro o.A. + Text DLG @ 38\mod_1436258211654_1521.docx @ 401559 @ @ 1
The lawnmower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before every mowing job, make sure that the motor stop safety control bar is working
perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter bar must come to a
standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the electric motor has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can be
heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise after the electric
motor has been switched off, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
Check the upper part of the bar (insulation) for damage. If the casing should be
damaged, contact the nearest authorised workshop without delay, since otherwise
injuries (electric shock) can occur through touching the live parts.
To avoid risk, check the condition and firm attachment of the blade before every
mowing job. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised
workshop since an insulation protection test always has to be carried out after repairs
and maintenance work on insulation parts (e.g. blade screw) in accordance with the
applicable standard DIN EN 60335. A worn or damaged blade must always be
replaced. (refer here to the chapter "Cutter blade care")
In addition, check the fan, blade coupling and fan housing every 10 operating hours for
wear and a tight fit. Also check equipment screws and nuts for a firm fit and tighten if
necessary.
If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an
authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed.
Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please
have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.

WARNING
Remove any objects (stones, wood, branches, etc.) from the lawn before each
cut; but still watch out for objects lying around during the mowing process.
Ask your dealer about lawn care instructions. Information and instructions about
mowing can also be found on the manufacturer website.

Remove dirt and grass residue immediately after finishing mowing. Place the mower on
its side and use a brush or cloth to clean.
ATTENTION
Do not put your fingers into the openings of the fan housing and hold onto the
fan. If the blade bar is rotated during cleaning, there is a risk that your fingers
may become caught between the fan and the fan housing!
IMPORTANT
Never spray the mower with water. This may damage the electrical systems.
