ting instructions before using the mower!

Danger! Risk of injury!

V Keep bystanders away!

Warning! Sharp blades!

V Remove the key before carrying

out all maintenance work.

Checks before each operation:

Before use, an inspection is always to be performed in order to determine that all nuts, bolts and working tools are not worn down or damaged. Worn down or damaged blades are to be replaced in sets.

Do not use the accu cylinder mower if safety devices (switch handle, safety key, start button, cover for cutting mechanism) and / or the cutting cylinder are damaged or worn. Never operate the unit with the safety devices bypassed or missing.

Inspect the surface on which the lawn mower is to be used beforehand . Stones, pieces of wood and wires as well as other solid matter must be removed.

Objects, which are contacted by the cutting tools, could be thrown out uncontrollably or damage the cutting mechanism.

Proper use / Responsibility:

Warning! Take note that the rotating blade cylinder could cause injuries.

V Never place your hands or

feet on or under moving parts.

Do not use the lawnmower while people, especially children or animals, are directly nearby. The operator is liable for damages.

The safety distance between the blade cylinder and the operator that is created by the guiding spar is to be always maintained.

When mowing embankments and slopes, special care is to be taken:

v make sure you always have a safety

distance and wear shoes with a nonslip sole and long trousers. Always cut

diagonally to the slope. v Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Take special care when moving backwards

and when pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling!

If, despite taking precautions, you strike an object when working or the mower starts to vibrate vigorously, release the switch handle. Remove the key from the socket. Remove the blockage; check the mower for any damage and have it repaired if necessary.
