Safety Instructions

This section deals with the basic safety procedures when working with the equipment.

WARNING! Read all of the safety

instructions and directions. Failure to observe the safety instructions and directions may result in electric

Instructions:

• Read the operating instructions careful-

ly. Familiarise yourself with the controls and with the correct use of the equipment.

• In case of uncertainties, allow yourself

to be given instruction concerning the use of the device and prohibited operations.

• Pay attention, be aware of what you

are doing and take the utmost care when working. Do not use the device if you are tired or ill or you are under

medication. A moment of inattention whilst using the device can result in serious injuries.

• This appliance is not intended for use

by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to en-

sure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not allow children or other people

who are unfamiliar with the operating instructions to use the equipment. Local regulations may set a minimum age for the user.

• Do not mow whilst people – especially children – or animals are nearby. If distracte equipment.

• The operator or user is responsible for accidents or damage to other persons or their property.

• Observe noise control and local regulations.

Preparatory Measures:

• When mowing, always wear slip restistant shoes and long trousers. Do not mow barefoot or in light sandals. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become caught in moving parts. Wearing suitable clothing reduces the risk of injury.

• Check the area on which the equipment is to be used and remove all objects (stones, sticks, wires, toy) that

damage.

GB IE NI

• Before use, always carry out a visual inspection to check whether the cutting tools, mounting bolts and entire cutting unit are worn or damaged. To avoid imbalance, only replace worn or damaged tools and bolts in sets.

• Take care with equipment that has several cutting tools, as the movement of one blade may result in rotation of other blades.

• Use only replacement parts and accessories supplied and recommended by the manufacturer. The use of parts from other manufacturers may result in injuries and will result in immediate invalidation of the guarantee.

Handling:

• Do not run the combustion engine in enclosed spaces, in which dangerous carbon monoxide can collect.

• Mow only in dayl ight or with good

can result in accidents.

• If possible, avoid using the equipment on wet grass.

• Always ensure secure positioning, par-

dykes. This will give you better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.

- Always work acr oss the slope, never upwards or downwards.

- Take particular care when changing the direction of travel on the slope.

- Do not mow on excessively steep slopes (max. 10°).

• Run the equipment only at walking speed.

• Take particular care when turning the equipment around or pulling it towards you.

• Stop the cutting tool if the equipment has to be tipped up for transportation

over a surface other than grass and when moving the equipment from and to the surface to be mown.

• Do not use the equipment with damaged safety equipment or guards or with no safety equipment attached, e.g. impact protection an ers. This ensures that the equipment remains safe.

• Do not change the engine regulator setting and do not over-rev it. This may damage the equipment.

• Before starting, the engine, disengage all cutting tools and drives.

• Start or operate the start switch with care and in accordance with the manu-

space between feet and the cutting tool. Risk of injury.

• When star ting or activating the engine, do not tip the equipment unless the equipment has to be lifted for this procedure. In this case, tip the equipment only as far as is absolutely necessary and lift only the side that is away from the user.

• Do not start the engine when standing in front of the ejection channel.

• Switch on the engine in accordance with the instructions and only if your feet are a safe distance away from the cutting tools.

• Do not place hands or feet under rotating parts. Always keep away from the ejection opening. A moment of carelessness when using the equipment may resu

lt in serious injury.

• Do not leave or carry the equipment when the engine is running.

• Switch off the engine, take out the spark plug connector and ensure that all moving parts are still:

nel;

- Before checking, cleaning or working on the equipment;

- If a foreign body is struck. Look for damage to the equipment and carry out the necessary repairs before restarting and working with the equipment;

- If the equipment starts to vibrate unusually strongly, an immediate check is required.

• Switch off the engine, take out the spark plug connector and ensure that all moving parts are still:

- When leaving the equipment;

- Before refuelling;

• Do not leave the equipment unattended in the workplace.

• Do not work with equipment that is damaged or incomplete or has been converted without the approval of the manufacturer.

Using machines for applications other

than those intended may result in dangerous situations.

Do not work with the device if there

• is a risk of lightning strike. Danger of electric shock.

Maintenance and Storage:

• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws

• T gine, exhaust and area around the fuel tank free of grass, leaves or leaking grease (oil).

• Check the grass catcher regularly for wear or loss of function.

• For reasons of safety, replace worn or damaged parts. Replace defective si lencers.

• If the fuel tank is to be drained, do this outdoors.

• Handle your equipment with care. Keep the tools sharp and clean to enable you to work better and more safely. Follow the maintenance directions.

• Do not attempt to repair the equipment yourself unless you are trained to do so.

tions is to be carried out only by cus tomer service centres authorised by us.

• Keep the equipment in a dry place and out of reach of children. Machines are dangerous if used by inexperienced people.

• Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops due to running out of petrol.

• Change the oil (see “changing the engine oil “).

• Preserve the engine:

Disposal/Environmental Protection

• Return the tool, accessories and packaging to a recycling centre when you

- Carefully drain the petrol and oil

tanks and take your equipment to a recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts that are used can be separated by type and thus recycled.

- Take used oil and petrol residues to a

disposal point and do not pour them into the sewer system or down the drain.

- Ask our Service-Center for details.

• Defective units returned to us will be disposed of for free.

• Do not throw cut grass in the dustbin but rather compost it or spread it under bushes and trees as a mulch layer.

Maintenance Intervals

Regularly carry out the maintenance work listed in the “maintenance intervals” table. Regular maintenance prolongs the life of the equipment. It also gives optimum cutting performance and avoids accidents.

Advarsel:

Svingningsemissionsværdien kan afvige fra den angivne værdi under det faktiske arbejde med maskinen, afhængigt af hvordan maskinen anvendes. Fastlæggelse af sikkerhedsforanstaltninger, der er baseret på et skøn af støjbelastningen under de faktiske arbejdsbetingelser, er påkrævet for at beskytte brugeren (der skal her tages hensyn til alle faktorer i driftscyklen, eksempelvis tidsrum, hvor maskinen er slukket, og tidsrum, hvor det nok er tændt, men kører uden belastning).
