• If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or naked flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
Long-term storage
•When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
!
WARNING! Running an engine in a
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fuel and fuel fumes are highly
inflammable and can cause serious
injury when inhaled or allowed to come
in contact with the skin. For this reason

OPERATING
English – 11
Work area safety
•Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from
the lawn before you start to mow.
• Objects hitting against the cutting attachment could
be thrown and cause damage to people and objects.
Keep people and animals well away.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Beware of roots, stones, twigs, pits, ditches etc.Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
• Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the
lawn mower on very steep slopes. The lawn mower
should not be used on inclines greater than 15
degrees.
• On sloping ground you should work along the slope.It
is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work
up and down it.
• Be careful when you are approaching hidden corners
and objects that could block your view.
Work safety
•A lawn mower is only designed to mow lawns. All
other use is forbidden.
• Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading ”Personal protective equipment”.
• Do not start a lawn mower unless the cutter and all
covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the cutter could
come loose and cause personal injuries.
• Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such
as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter
dull and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle gives
imbalance and heavy vibration, which results in a
great risk of the cutter becoming loose.
• The brake handle must never be permanently
anchored in handle when the machine is running.
• Place the lawn mower on firm, flat surface and start it.
Make sure that the cutter cannot come into contact
with the ground or other objects.
• Always place yourself behind the machine. Allow all
the wheels to remain on the ground and keep both
hands on the handle when mowing. Keep your hands
and feet away from the rotating blades.
• Do not tilt the machine when the engine is running.
Never run with the machine when it is running.You
should always walk with the lawn mower.
• Pay particular attention when pulling the machine
towards you during work.
• Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when
the engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower,
first switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition
lead from the spark plug.
• The engine should be switched off when moving over
ground that is not to be mowed. For example, gravel
paths, stone, shingle, asphalt, etc.
• Never run with the machine when it is running.You
should always walk with the lawn mower.
• Shut down the engine before changing the cutting
height. Never make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running. Turn off the engine. Ensure the cutting
attachment has stopped rotating.
• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from
the spark plug. Check that the machine is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
Basic working techniques
•Always cut with a sharp blade for optimal results. A
dull blade gives an uneven cut and the grass becomes
yellow on the surface of the cut.
• Never mow more than 1/3 of the length of the grass.
This especially applies during dry periods. Mow first
with the cutting height set high. Then check the result
and lower to an appropriate height. If the grass is
really long, drive slowly and mow twice if necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time in order to avoid
stripes in the lawn.
Transport and storage
•Secure the equipment during transportation in order
to avoid transport damage and accidents.
• Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out
of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
• Store the machine and its equipment in a dry and frost
proof place.
• For transport and storage of fuel, see the section
"Fuel handling".
