• Start mowing near the socket and
work away from the socket.
• Always keep the extension cable be-
hind you and when you turn, move it to
the side that has already been mowed.
• Run the equipment at a walking pace,
in tracks that are as even as possible.
For gap-free mowing, the tracks should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Adjust the cut height so the equipment
is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo-
tor may be damaged.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope. Take particular care when going
backwards and pulling the equipment.
• Clean the equipment after each use,
as described in the chapter on "Clean-
ing, Maintenance and Storage".
Switch off the equipment after work
and in order to transport it, discon-
nect the plug and wait until the blade
stops. There is a risk of injury.

General Cleaning and Mainte-
nance Work
Do not hose down the lawnmow-
er with water.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a brush or cloth but no de-
tergent or solvent.
• After mowing, use a piece of wood
or plastic to remove adherent plant
remains from the wheels, ventilation
holes, ejection hole and blade area.
Do not use hard or pointed objects, as
these may damage the blade.
• Oil the wheels from time to time.
• Before each use, check the lawnmower
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts. Check that all nuts,
bolts and screws are sitting firmly.
• Check the covers and protective de-
vices for damage and check that they
are sitting correctly. Replace them if
necessary.

Changing the Blade

If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened
by a specialist workshop. If the blade
is damaged or showing signs of imbal-
ance, it must be replaced (see chapter on
"Spare Parts").
1. Turn the equipment over.
2. Use sturdy gloves and hold
the blade firmly (24). Turn the
blade screw (25) anticlockwise
off of the motor spindle using a
screwdriver.
3. Install the new blade in the
reverse order. Ensure that the
blade is positioned correctly and
the screw tightened firmly.
