Select the cutting height to suit the actual
length of the grass. Make several passes to
ensure that you do not remove more than 4 cm
of grass length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor and pull the power plug
before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in
mind that the blade continues to rotate for a
few seconds after the engine has been
switched off. Never attempt to manually stop
the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade
is securely attached, is in good condition and is
sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the
blade or replace it. In the event that the blade
strikes an object, immediately switch off the
lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of
the blade and the blade mount. Replace any
parts that are damaged. Lay the power cable
on the ground in loops in front of the power
outlet. Mow away from the power outlet and
cable, making sure that the power cable
always trails in the mowed grass so that the
lawn mower does not travel over the cable.
9. Mowing
As soon as you see mown grass on the lawn
whilst you are mowing, the grass bag will need
emptying.
Important.
Before you remove the grass bag switch off the
motor and wait until the cutting tool reaches a
standstill.
To remove the grass bag, raise the discharge
flap with one hand and remove the grass bag
using its handle with your other hand.
To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close
when you remove the grass back to seal the
rear discharge opening. If any grass residues
are caught in the opening, it is a good idea to
pull the mower backwards around 1 m to make
it easier to start the motor.
Do not remove grass cuttings in the mower
casing or on the cutter by hand or with your

feet. Instead use suitable tools such as a brush
or broom.
To ensure that it can collect the grass correctly
the grass bag and in particular the net must be
cleaned from the inside after use.
Only attach the grass bag after switching off
the motor and the cutting tool has reached a
standstill.
Raise the discharge flap with one hand and,
holding the grass bag by its handle in your
other hand, attach it from the top.
10. Servicing and storage
Servicing and cleaning work on the lawn
mower and the removal of the guards may only
be carried out after the motor has been
switched off and the plug disconnected from
the power supply.
Worn or damaged blades, blade holders and
bolts must be replaced together by an
authorized specialist to maintain the balance of
the mower.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
water, particularly not if it is at high pressure.
Ensure that all the fastening elements (screws,
nuts, etc.) are tight at all times so that you can
work with the mower in safety.
Check the grass collection device frequently
for signs of wear.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
Store your lawn mower in a dry place. To
ensure it has a long life all the screw parts and
the wheels and axles should be cleaned and
then oiled.
The long handle can be folded together into its
as-delivered state (see Fig. 2) in order to save
space during storage.
When folding the handle make sure that the
