2 ENGLISHGB SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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: Warning! Read the Instruction Book and 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 hands and feet clear of the under chassis when the machine is run- ning. 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 • 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 cable. • Before using the machine, always check that the cable is not damaged. The machine must not be used if the cable 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. • 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.
3 ENGLISHGB • Never operate the lawnmower with insufficient protection or without safety devices in place, e.g. the 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. • 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 cable is kept well away from the blade. If the cable is damaged during mowing, stop the machine immediately and dis- connect the plug from the wall socket before checking the cable. A damaged cable 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. • 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 point: • 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. INSTALLATION The mower is factory assembled and only requires the upper handle to be unfolded and the grass col- lector to be assembled and fitted prior to use. HANDLE • Unfold the upper handle and secure in position by tightening the bolts and the large plastic knobs. • Take care not to trap the cable when folding and unfolding the handle.
4 ENGLISHGB GRASS COLLECTOR • Fit the fabric bag over the steel frame and then snap the bag onto the plastic lid. • Lift the deflector. • Locate the corners of the collector frame in the bottom of the mower backplate and pivot the collector so that it rests on the back of the ma- chine. Never use the mower without the grass collector fitted on the machine. USING THE LAWNMOWER CONNECTION Only use the machine with the cable supplied with your mower. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised serviced dealer. Use only original spare part 1114-0049-01. START / STOP Start the lawnmower on a flat, firm surface.

5 ENGLISHGB CUTTING HEIGHT The cutting height is adjusted by the knob on the front of the mower. Turn clockwise to raise, anticlockwise to lower. Note! Do not adjuste the cutting height when the motor is running. CUTTING Always cut away from the cable. Empty the grass collector in good time to ensure that the grass ejector does not become blocked, so impairing the collecting ability. To avoid overloading the motor, do not push the lawnmower too fast in long grass. MAINTENANCE CHANGING THE BLADE Always unplug at the mains before performing maintenance, cleaning or other work on the ma- chine. Wear protective gloves. Loosen the blade bolt with the tool provided with the machine. Fit the new blade, tightening torque 30 Nm. Always use genuine spare parts. CLEANING/STORAGE After use, always clean the lawnmower with a brush or cloth. The cooling air intake around the motor casing must be kept free from grass and dirt so that the motor does not overheat. The underside of the chassis can be scraped clean. Never rinse with water. The lawnmower must be stored dry. SERVICING Original spare parts are supplied by authorised dealers. ACCESSORIES/SPARE PARTS Always use genuine spare parts and ac- cessories. Non-genuine spare parts and accessories have not been checked and approved by the lawnmower manufac- turer. The use of non-genuine spare parts and accessories can entail a risk of injury, even if they fit the machine. The lawnmower manufacturer accepts no responsibility for injury or damage caused by such parts or accessories. Genuine spare parts are supplied by authorised service stations and by many dealers. We recommend that the machine is handed in to an authorised service workshop for service, mainte- nance and checking of safety devices once a year.
