Do not use the lawnmower while people,
especially children or animals, are directly
nearby. The operator is liable for damages.
The safety distance between the blade
cylinder and the operator that is created
by the guiding spar is to be always
maintained.
When mowing embankments and slopes,
special care is to be taken:
v make sure you always have a safety
distance and wear shoes with a non-
slip sole.
Always cut diagonally to the slope.
Take special care when moving backwards
and when pulling the lawn mower. Danger
of stumbling!
If the cutting tools or the lawnmower should
run into an obstruction and /or solid objects,
the lawn mower should be properly and thor-
oughly inspected.
v Only work when visibility is good.
Never leave the lawnmower unattended.
If your work is interrupted, store the mower
in a safe place.

4. Operation
To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the
lawn regularly one a week if possible. The lawn becomes thicker
if cut frequently.
Relatively long cut grass (> 1 cm) must be removed so that the
lawn does not become yellow and matted.
After relatively long intervals between mowing (holiday lawn),
first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height as high as
possible (42 mm), then cut in the crosswise direction at the cutting
height required. The blades of grass may not be more than 12 cm
long if they are to be cut with a cylinder mower.
If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp,
the cutting pattern will be uneven.
