Safety instructions Meaning of the symbols General information z This lawnmower is designed for domestic grass and lawn sur- faces. Because of the physical risk to the user or to others, the lawnmower must not be used for other purposes. z Never mow the lawn if others – in particular children and ani- mals – are in the vicinity. z Only mow the lawn during daylight or with the aid of appropri- ate artificial light. Before mowing z Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers when mowing. Never mow while barefoot or wearing flimsy sandals. z Check the site on which the machine is to be used, and remo- ve all items which could be caught and ejected z Check the line and connection cable fitted to the outside of the lawnmower for damage and ageing (brittleness). Only use if in perfect condition. z Only have the cable repaired by a qualified person. z Check the grass catchment device regularly for wear-and-tear and deformation. z Check the protective flap frequently for brittleness and to en- sure that it is attached firmly. z Before use, carry out a visual inspection to check whether the cutting gear and its mounts are blunt or damaged. In order to avoid generating an imbalance, replace blunt or damaged cut- ting gear as an entire set. Cables 1 Attention! Electric shock through cable damage When the cable is cut through or damaged, the safety fuse doesn’t always trip. z Do not touch cable, before pulling out the power plug from the socket. z Damaged cable has to be completely replaced. Patching the cable with insulating tape is forbidden. z Use only extension cables with a minimum cross-section of 3x1.5mm

and a length of max. 25 m: – When using rubber-sheathed cables, they must be of type HO 7 RN-F or heavier. – When using PVC-sheathed cables, they must be of type HO5 VV-F or heavier (cables of this type are not suitable for continuous outdoor use). z Plugs and couplings must be protected from splashes. z Use a residual current protection device (RCD) with a residual current not exceeding 30 mA. z Fit the connection cable to the mains lead cleat. Do not allow to rub against edges or against sharp or pointed objects. Do not squeeze cables through tight door or window openings. Switch devices must not be removed or circumvented (e.g. connecting the switch lever to the handle bars) When mowing z Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the motor, unless the lawnmower has to be tilted when starting. If that is the ca- se, do not tip the lawnmower more than absolutely necessary, and only lift the part furthest removed from the user. Always ensure that both hands are in the operating position before re- placing the lawnmower on the ground. z Caution, danger! Cutting gear will continue running! z Maintain the safety distance prescribed by the handle bars. z Only switch on the motor if your feet are at a safe distance from the cutting gear. z Take care to ensure a safe and stable position, especially on slopes. Never run; always walk calmly forward. z Always mow slopes at right angles to the incline; never mow up and down. z When mowing slopes, be especially careful when changing di- rection. z Never mow steep slopes. z Be especially careful when mowing backwards and pulling the lawnmower towards you. z Switch the mower off when tilting it, running on empty or trans- porting the lawnmower, e.g. to/from a lawn or along paths. z Never use the lawnmower if safety devices are faulty or mis- sing, such as deflector and/or grass catchment devices. z Caution: do not touch running cutters. z Always keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Do not stand in front of the grass ejector opening. z Never lift or carry a lawnmower while the motor is running. z Never open the guard flap while the motor is still running. z Before removing the grass catchment device, turn off the mo- tor and wait until the cutting gear has stopped running. After emptying the grass catchment device, reattach carefully. z Never drive across gravel while the motor is running – impac- ting stones! z Avoid mowing wet grass where possible. Attention! Read instruction manual before use! Keep bystan- ders away! Attention! - Sharp knives - before perfor- ming a mainte- nance work or if the cable is da- maged pull out the plug! Keep the supp- ly flexible cord away from the cutting blade!13

z Switch off the lawnmower, pull the mains plug and wait for the lawnmower to stop running if, for example: – leaving the lawnmower – unblocking a blade – intending to check, clean or work on the lawnmower – you have encountered a foreign object, in which case you should check the lawnmower for damage and carry out any necessary repairs. – the lawnmower is vibrating heavily (switch off immediately and ascertain the cause). – you wish to change the settings or carry out cleaning work. – you wish to check whether the connection cables have be- come tangled or damaged. – If the connection cable is damaged during use, it must be immediately disconnected from the mains power supply. Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from the mains power supply. Maintenance 1 Attention! Rotary cutter blade Before all maintenance and cleaning work: z Pull out the power plug. z Do not touch running blades. z Never spray down the lawnmower using water, especially not at high pressure. z Regularly check and tighten all visible screws and nuts, espe- cially those relating to the cutting bar, to ensure a firm fit. z Always have blades changed or re-sharpened by a specialist workshop, since a balance test must be carried out as speci- fied in the safety regulations following any removal of parts. z Only use original WOLF spare parts. Otherwise we can’t gua- rantee that your mower conforms to the safety regulations. z Never park your lawnmower in damp rooms. z For safety reasons, replace worn or damaged parts.
