only lines which are not lighter than rubber hose lines H0 7
RN-F to DIN with a minimum diameter of 3 x 1,5 mm
be used.
• They must be waterproofmobile decvices that are used outdoors
must be connected via a residual current circuit breaker.
• Use a leakage-protective system (RCD) with a leakage cur-
rent of no more than 30 m .
• ttach connection cable to traction relief. Make sure that in
does not rub against edges, pointed or sharp objects. Do not
squeeze cable through door or window gaps.

Operation
Operating times
Please check noise abatement regulations prevailing in your
country.
djust cutting height (fig. B1)
Only if the motor is switched off and cutting tool is at a
standstill.
There are 5 positions for cutting height (18, 23, 28, 32,
40 mm).
Pull the adjusting arm (1) away from the sidepiece and let it
re-engage in the desired cutting height position (2). djust, by
1 position only, alternating right and left. The adjustment arms
must always be on the same height position.
Note: djust the cutting height so that the bottom blade has
no ground contact if there are uneven areas on the lawn
surface.
Selection of Cutting height
If possible, mow when grass is dry in order to protect turf. Do
not se cutting position too low when mowing very hight or wet
grass. We recommend an average cutting height of 28 mm.
To maintain a well-groomed lawn, the grass must be cut at
least once a week. The grass must be dry, for the most part,
when it is mowed. The mowing path should be as straight as
possible using a normal walking speed. The mowing paths
must always overlap by several centimetres to prevent strips
of grass being left uncut.
Insert connection cable in the strain relief (fig. B2)
Connecting to the mains
The mower operates from any normal household mains
supply, provided with a 10 mp. fuse.
Note: Use a residual current device (RCD) rated for a
residual current not greater than 30 m .
Starting
Switch on motor with mower placed on level and firm ground,
not in high grass - alternatively tilt slightly.

• The machine must never be used when it is raining. If pos-
sible, avoid using the machine when the grass is wet. The
machine must never be washed or rinsed with water.
• Make sure that you have a firm hold, especially on slopes.
Never run, but walk forwards slowly.
• lways mow slopes back and forth, never up and down.
• Special care is required when changing directions or when
you pull the machine toward yourself.
• Never use a machine with a damaged housing or missing
protective guards.
• Before you leave or transport the machine or perform inspec-
tion, cleaning or other maintenance, you must:
- shut off the motor
- wait until the blades stop turning
- pull the power plug
• When adjusting, avoid inserting hands or feet between the
blades and the fixed parts of the machine.
• Keep hands and feet away from the revolving blades.
• If the blade spindle becomes blocked, switch off the motor
and pull the power plug. Remove any objects and check for
damage. ny damage must be repaired before the machine
can be operated again.
• Before using the extension cord, check it for damage and
wear. Replace the cord if necessary. Do not use the machine
if the cord is damaged.
• The extension cord must be free. Lay the cord so that the
machine cannot run over it. The extension cord must remain
away from the blade spindle.
• These units have been performance tested according to
VDE guidelines for intermittent service S 6 with a duty cycle
of 40%. This corresponds to normal mowing operations with
alternating load and idle cycles.
Note
Switch on mower only for mowing. Never allow motor to run
at idle longer than one minute!
Switch-on motor (fig. B3)
1. Depress button and hold (1).
2. Lift up bar and release button (2).
Switch-off motor (fig. B3)
Release bar (2).
Mowing
lways let cable trail on the cut side of the lawn.
Cable guidance: Place the cable firmly off the lawn or on the
already cur side of the lawn when starting to mow.
New blade condition „Mach 15"
Mowing:The blade is automatically optimized, i.e. the blade
spindle adapts exactly to the bottom blade after mowing for
some time (approx. 2 hrs.).
Turning
The mower should be turned on a surface of the lawn that
has already been mowed.
Safety switch
In case of overload or blocking, the motor shuts down
automatically!
Pull power plug and eliminate the cause of the problem!
Overload:
Cutting height is too low, or forward speed is too fast
Blocking:
Foreign object in cutting area (e.g. branches).
The machine can be switched on again after about 5 min.
