Note
• Read the directions with due care. Familiarize yourself
with the settings and proper operation of the machine.
Never allow children or other persons who are not
familiar with the operating instructions to use the
mower. Contact your local governmental agency
for information regarding minimum age require-
ments for operating the mower.
• Never mow in the direct vicinity of persons - espe-
cially children - or animals. Always keep in mind
that the operator is responsible for accidents in-
volving other persons and/or their property.
• If you give the equipment to any other person, give
them these operating instructions as well.
• Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in
sandals.
• Check the grounds on which the machine will be
used and remove all objects that could be caught
up and violently flung out of the chute.
m WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable! Therefore:
• Only store petrol in containers designed to hold
petroleum-based liquids.
• Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke during
the refueling process.
• Always refuel the lawn mower before starting the
engine. Always ensure that the fuel tank cap is
closed when the engine is running and when the
mower is hot; also do not refuel.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not under any circum-
stances attempt to start the engine. Instead, re-
move the machine from the affected area. Avoid
starting the engine until the petrol fumes have com-
pletely evaporated.
• For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank
closures must be replaced if they are damaged.
• Replace defective mufflers.
• Before using the mower, visually inspect it to en-
sure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire
cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e.
not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbal-
ance, replace worn out or damaged blades and
mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).
• 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 let the combustion engine run in enclosed
areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide gas can
build up.
• Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.
Avoid using the machine on wet grass as far as
possible.
• Do not mow on excessively steep slopes and near-
by garbage dumps, ditches or dykes
• Do not use the lawn mower in a thunderstorm - risk
of lightning strike!
• Always maintain good footing on inclines.
• Only operate the machine at a walking pace.
• For machines with wheels: Always mow across hills
i.e. never straight up or straight down.
• Be particularly careful when you change direction
on a slope.
• Do not mow on overly steep inclines.
• Always be extra careful when turning the mower
around and when pulling it towards you.
• Switch off the lawn mower 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 lawn mower if the blade or safety
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.
• Start the engine with care, in accordance with the
manufacturerʼs instructions. Make sure that your
feet are far enough away from the mower blade!
• Do not tilt the lawn mower when you start the en-
gine unless the mower must raised off of the ground
a little in order to start it. In the latter case, tilt the
mower as little as absolutely necessary and only
raise the side opposite to that of the user.
• Never start the engine while standing in front of the
chute.
• Never move your hands or feet toward or under any
rotating parts. Keep clear of the chute opening at
all times.
• Never lift or carry a lawn mower with the engine
running.
• Switch off the engine and pull the spark plug boot:
- before you dislodge any blockages or clogs in
the chute.
- before carrying out any checks, cleaning, main-
tenance or other work on the lawn mower
- if the lawn mower strikes a foreign body, ex-
amine it for signs of damage and carry out any
necessary repairs before restarting and continu-
ing to work with the mower. If the lawn mower
begins to experience exceptionally strong vibra-
tions, immediately switch it off and check it.
• Switch off the engine:
- when you leave the lawn mower.
