SYMBOLS
The following symbols can be found on the ma-
chine to remind you of the care and attention that 
are required during use.
The symbols mean:

Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep onlookers away. Beware 
of objects being flung out.
Warning! Before carrying out any repair 
work make sure the machine is unplugged.
Warning! Keep the extension cable away 
from the cutting system.
Warning! Keep hands and feet clear of the

GENERAL
This symbol indicates WARNING! Per-
sonal injury and/or damage to property 
may result if the instructions are not fol-
lowed carefully.
• Please read through these instructions carefully. 
Learn all the controls and the correct use of the 
machine.
• This machine is only intended for mowing 
lawns. Other use, such as cutting bushes, hedg-
es, climbing plants, etc., is forbidden due to the 
risk of injury.• Never allow children or anyone who is not fa-
miliar with these instructions to use the lawn-
mower. Local regulations may impose 
restrictions as regards the age of the driver.
• Never carry out mowing if others, particularly 
children or animals, are in the vicinity.
• Remember that the driver is responsible for ac-
cidents that happen to other people or their 
property.
• Do not use the machine if you are under the in-
fluence of alcohol, drugs or medication. Neither 
should you use it when you are tired or feeling 
unwell.
PREPARATIONS
• Wear strong shoes and long trousers when 
mowing. Do not operate the machine barefoot 
or wearing sandals.
• Always use hearing protectors.
• Carefully check the area that is to be mowed 
and remove all stones, sticks, steel wire and oth-
er objects.
• Before use: always check that blades and 
mounting devices are not worn or damaged. Re-
place worn or damage parts as a set so that the 
correct balance is maintained.
Connecting the machine
• Only use an extension lead approved for out-
door use that matches the machine’s plug. If 
you are in any doubt, contact your dealer.
• For increased safety, an earth leakage circuit 
breaker with a breaking current not greater than 
30 mA should be connected between the wall 
socket and the extension lead.
• Before using the machine, always check that the 
extension lead is not damaged. The machine 
must not be used if the lead is damaged.
OPERATION
• Only mow in daylight or in good lighting con-
ditions.
• If possible, avoid mowing wet grass.
• Be sure to move steadily on slopes.
• Walk, don’t run.
• With wheeled lawnmowers, cut across a slope, 
never up and down.
STOP

ENGLISHGB
• Take great care when changing direction on a 
slope.
• Do not mow slopes with a gradient of more than 
15°.
• Take great care when reversing or when pulling 
the lawnmower towards yourself.
• Shut off the engine if the lawnmower has to be 
tilted during transport on surfaces other than 
grass, and when the lawnmower is being trans-
ported to and from the area to be mowed.
• Never operate the lawnmower with insufficient 
protection or without safety devices in place, 
e.g. a grass collector.
• Start the engine carefully, following the instruc-
tions. Keep your feet away from the blades.
• Do not tilt the mower when the engine is start-
ed, apart from when the mower has to be tilted 
when starting. If this is the case, it should not be 
tilted more than necessary, and the part that is 
furthest away from the operator should be tilted. 
• Keep your hands and feet away from the rotat-
ing blade and other rotating parts. If there is an 
ejector opening, never insert your hand into it.
• The blade bar continues to rotate for a short 
while after the starter handle has been released.
• If the machine is equipped with a grass ejector, 
this should always be kept free of branches, 
rubbish, etc.
• Never lift or carry the lawnmower while the en-
gine is running.
Shut off the engine and pull out the plug:
• When you leave the lawnmower.
• To remove sticks and rubbish or when the dis-
charge has become clogged.
• To check, clean or service the machine.
• When you have driven over a foreign object and 
want to check whether there is any damage as well 
as carry out repairs before restarting the mower.
• To check the machine if it begins to vibrate ex-
cessively. (Check immediately).• Always ensure that the lead is kept well away 
from the blade. If the lead is damaged during 
mowing, stop the machine immediately and un-
plug the lead from the wall socket before check-
ing the lead. A damaged lead should be repaired 
by a qualified electrician or replaced.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Check that all nuts and screws are tightened so 
that the machine is in safe working condition.
• If the machine is equipped with a grass collec-
tor, check frequently for wear and damage to 
the grass collector.
• For the sake of safety, replace worn or damaged 
parts.
• Thoroughly clean the mower and store it in-
doors in a dry place. The machine must not be 
rinsed with water.
• Store the machine so that children cannot get to 
it.
ENVIRONMENT
For environmental reasons, we recommend that 
particular attention is given to the following 
points:
• When your machine has to be replaced after 
many years of service or is no longer required, 
we recommend that it is handed in to your deal-
er for recycling.
