funktionen klipphöjdsinställning.
23. Släpp säkerhetsgreppet och vänta tills kni-
ven har stannat innan du korsar en uppfart,
gångväg, väg eller annat grustäckt område. Ta
också ut säkerhetsnyckeln om du lämnar gräs-
klipparen, sträcker dig för att plocka upp eller
ta bort något som ligger i vägen, eller om du på
något annat sätt distraheras från arbetet.
24. Föremål som träffas av gräsklipparens
kniv kan orsaka allvarliga personskador.
Gräsmattan ska alltid undersökas väl och röjas
från föremål före varje klippning.
25. Följ dessa steg om gräsklipparen slår emot ett
främmande föremål:
- Stanna gräsklipparen, släpp säkerhetsgrep-
pet och vänta tills kniven stannat helt.
- Ta bort säkerhetsnyckeln och
batterikassetten.
- Kontrollera gräsklipparen grundligt så att inte
några skador har uppstått.
- Byt ut kniven om den är skadad på något sätt.
Reparera eventuella skador innan du startar om
och återupptar användningen av gräsklipparen.
26. Kontrollera gräsuppsamlaren regelbundet
efter slitage eller försämring. Se alltid till att
gräsuppsamlaren är tom när maskinen förva-
ras. Byt ut gräsuppsamlaren om den är sliten
mot en ny från fabriken för säker användning.
27. Var mycket försiktig när du vänder gräsklippa-
ren eller drar den mot dig.
28. Stoppa knivarna om gräsklipparen måste lutas
för att transporteras över gräsfria ytor och när
maskinen transporteras till och från området
som ska klippas.
29. Använd aldrig gräsklipparen med skadade
skydd eller utan säkerhetsutrustning, t. ex.
stenskydd och/eller gräsuppsamlare, på plats.
30. Starta gräsklipparen omsorgsfullt enligt anvis-
ningarna och med fötterna på säkert avstånd
från knivarna.
31. Luta inte gräsklipparen när du startar motorn,
såvida den inte måste lutas för att startas. I så
fall ska den inte lutas mer än vad som är abso-
lut nödvändigt och lyft endast den delen som
är längst bort från användaren.
32. Starta inte gräsklipparen när du står framför
utkastöppningen.
33. Placera inte händer och fötter i närheten av
eller under roterande delar. Stå alltid långt
ifrån utkastöppningen.
34.
Transportera inte gräsklipparen medan den är igång.
35. Stanna gräsklipparen och ta bort skydsanord-
ningen. Se till att alla rörliga delar har stannat helt
- när du lämnar gräsklipparen,
- innan du tar bort något som fastnat eller
rensar utkastningsrännan,
- före kontroll, rengöring eller arbete på
gräsklipparen,
- när du slagit emot ett främmande föremål. Inspektera
gräsklipparen efter skador och utför reparationer innan
maskinen startas om och används på nytt.
36. Om gräsklipparen börjar vibrera på ett onor-
malt sätt (kontrollera omedelbart)
- kontrollera om skada har uppstått,
- byt ut eller reparera skadade delar,
- kontrollera och dra åt lösa delar.
