mains plug from the power supply immediately
and then check the extent of the damage.
27. When you start the motor the lawn mower must
not be tilted unless it has to be raised for this
purpose. In this case only tilt it up as far as is
really necessary and only raise the side that is
furthest away from the user.
28. If the lawn mower begins to experience
exceptionally strong vibrations, immediately
switch it off and check it. Pull the plug
immediately if the lawn mower starts to vibrate
abnormally.
29. Ensure that all the nuts, bolts and screws are
tight and that the mower is in a safe condition for
use.
30. Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug
from the power supply if the mower strikes a
foreign body. Check the mower for signs of
damage and carry out the necessary repair work
before you start work with the mower again.
31. Do not leave the mower out in the rain. The lawn
must not be wet or very damp.
32. Ensure that you have safe footing at all times
whilst working with the mower.
33. Only push the mower at walking pace.
34. Be particularly careful when changing direction
with the mower whilst working on a slope.
35. Be particularly careful when you change the
direction of the mower or pull it towards you.
36. Switch off the mower if it has to be tilted for
transport purposes, when you have to take it
over surfaces other than grass, and when
moving the mower to and from the area you wish
to mow.
37. Carefully actuate the starter switch in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure that your feet are far enough away
from the mower blade! Do not start the motor if
you are positioned in front of the chute.
38. Do not touch the cutting blade until the machine
has been disconnected from the mains and the
cutting blade has reached a complete standstill.
39. Never lift or carry the mower whilst the motor is
running.
40. Switch off the motor and pull the plug before you
leave the lawn mower.
41. Allow the motor to cool down before you place
the machine in enclosed rooms for storage.
42. Check the grass bag at regular intervals for signs
of wear and to ensure that it is still in perfect
working order.
43. Before you adjust or clean the mower or check
whether the mains lead is kinked or damaged,
switch off the mower and disconnect the plug
from the power supply.
44. The connection sockets on the connectors must
be made of rubber, soft PVC or other
thermoplastic material with the same strength or
they must be coated with this material.
45. Ensure that you do not push the mower over
routes that might hamper the free movement of
the extension cable.
46. Do not switch the mower on and off frequently
over a short period of time, and in particular do
not play with the ON/OFF switch.
47. As a result of the voltage fluctuations this mower
causes as it gets up to speed, other equipment
connected to the same circuit may suffer faults if
the mains supply is not in perfect condition. In
this case suitable action has to be taken (for
example connect the mower to a different circuit
or run the mower on a circuit with lower
impedance).
48. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
