– Never mow by pulling the mower towards you. Stop the blades if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed. Do not tilt the machine when starting or switching on the motor, except if the machine has to be tilted for starting in long grass. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and tilt only the part which is away from the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in the operating position before returning the machine to the ground. Switch on the lawnmower with feet well away from the blades. Do not tilt the mower when starting. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Never operate the lawnmower without the grassbox/bag or deflector guard in position. Never pick up or carry the lawnmower while the motor is running. Be careful during adjustment of the lawnmower to prevent entrapment of the feet and hands between moving blades and fixed parts of the lawnmower. Remove the plug from the socket: – whenever you leave the machine – before clearing a blockage – before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower – after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs as necessary – if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately). Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the lawnmower is in safe working condition. Check the grassbox/bag frequently for wear or deterioration. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch approved. 13 • F016 L69 839 • TMS • 05.02.02 English - 1 GB • Printed in England • BA F 016 L69 839 • QX elctric • OSW 02.02 F016 L69 839.book Seite 2 Freitag, 22.
