Pull the plug out of the socket-outlet if the device
starts to vibrate in an unusual manner (check
immediately).
Ensure that all the nuts, bolts and screws are
tight and that the mower is in a safe condition for
use.
Shut down the motor and pull the mains power
plug from the socket-outlet if ever a foreign object
should be hit. Check for any damage on the lawn
mower and have it repaired before you restart
and use the mower.
Do not leave the mower out in the rain. The lawn
must not be wet or very damp.
Ensure that you have safe footing at all times
whilst working with the mower.
Only push the mower at walking pace.
Be particularly careful when changing direction
with the mower whilst working on a slope.
Be particularly careful when you change the
direction of the mower or pull it towards you.
Switch off the mower whenever it has to be
tipped while moving, whenever you have to cross
any surface other than the lawn and when taking
it to and from the surface to be mown.
Start or use the starter switch with care as
described in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure that your feet are a safe distance from
the cutting tool.
Never lift or carry the mower whilst the motor is
running.
Switch the mower off before leaving it.
Allow the motor to cool down before you place
the machine in enclosed rooms for storage.
Check the grass bag at regular intervals for signs
of wear and to ensure that it is still in perfect
working order.
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.
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.
Ensure that you do not push the mower over
routes that might hamper the free movement of
the extension cable.
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.
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).
Disconnect the plug from the power supply:
- whenever you leave the mower.
- if the mower starts to suffer unusual
vibrations (check immediately).
Always pull the mains power plug from the
socket-outlet:
- Whenever you leave the machine unattended.
- If the machine starts to vibrate in an unusual
manner (check immediately).
The user is responsible for all accidents or
dangers to third parties or their property.

Power supply
The lawn mower can be connected to any light
socket-outlet (with 230 Volt alternating current).
However, only a socket-outlet with earthing contact is
permitted, which should be protected by providing a
miniature circuit-breaker for 16A and an earth-
leakage circuit-breaker with max. 30 mA.
Power cable for the device
Never use a power cable that is damaged in any
way. The power cable for the device must not
exceed 50m in length otherwise the performance of
the electric motor will be impaired. The power cable
must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5mm?. Insulation
on lawn mower power cables frequently becomes
damaged as a result of the following:
- Cuts caused by running over the cable
- Pinching caused by running the cable under doors
or windows
- Cracks as the insulation ages
- Kinks caused by improper fastening or guidance of
the power cable
Power cables damaged in these ways are often used
in spite of the fact that the damaged insulation poses
a risk to life. Cables, plugs and portable socket-
outlets must meet the following requirements. Power
