Please note:
The GARDENA petrol lawnmower is designed for cutting lawns in and around the garden. Do not use the mower on a slope steeper than 20° maximum.
Warning! For environmental and transport safety reasons the petrol lawnmower is supplied without motor oil. Therefore, the crankcase of the engine must be filled with motor oil prior to use (see 7. Maintenance), otherwise the engine will be damaged!
To prevent injury, the lawnmower must not be used for trimming bushes, hedges, shrubs, for cutting and pruning of climbers or grass on roofs or in balcony boxes.
In addition, the lawnmower must not be used for chopping up branches, twigs or for levelling irregularities in the soil.
Warning!
vBefore working on the blade bar remove spark
plug connector. See the enclosed engine operating instructions!
Check each time you use the mower:
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or dama- ged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance. Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or grass catchers, in place. Replace damaged or worn parts. Never disable safety devices.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Check the grass to be cut before you start work. Remove any foreign bodies present (e. g. stones, branches).
The blade bar must be regularly checked for damage and if necessary repaired properly.
Be particularly careful if you change direction on a slope.
For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Be careful when going backwards.
Risk of stumbling!
Look out for foreign bodies when working (e. g. stones).
Interruptions of work:
Do not leave the mower unattended in the workplace. Should you stop working store the mower in a safe place.
vRemove the spark plug connector!
Should you stop work to go to work some- where else with the mower, be sure to switch the mower off while you are going there.
Environmental influences:
Only work when visibility is good.
Familiarise yourself with the surroundings of your working area. Check for possible risks which might be not audible due to the noise of the machine.
