7. Operation
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating
plate are identical to the mains data. Connect
the plug to main socket(Fig.B1/Item 6) with
extension cable. It is imperative to secure the
extension cable with the cable grip as shown in
Figure B13.
Important!
To prevent the machine switching on
accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with
a safety lock-off (Fig. B14/Item A) which must be
pressed before the switching bar (Fig. B14/Item
B) can be activated. The lawn mower switches
itself off when the switch is released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance
work on the machine, ensure that the blade
is not rotating and that the power supply is
disconnected.

Important!
Never open the discharge flap if the grass box
is being emptied and the motor is still running.
The rotating blade can cause serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag
carefully. Always switch off the motor before
you remove these items.
The safety distance between the blade casing
and the user provided by the guide struts
must be maintained at all times. Take special
18
care when mowing and changing direction on
embankments and slopes. Ensure that you have
a secure surface to stand on, wear shoes with
anti-slip soles that offer good grip, and long
trousers. Always mow across the slope (not in
up or down direction).
Do not use the mower on gradients exceeding
15° for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and
pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling.
7.1 Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping
lines.
Only mow with sharp, perfect blades so that
the blades of grass do not fray, making the lawn
turn yellow.
To achieve a good cut, guide the lawn mower in
lines that are as straight as possible.
These lines should always overlap by a few
centimeters so that you do not leave any strips.
How often you should mow the lawn depends
on how fast the lawn grows. During the main
growth period (May – June), mow it twice a
week, and once a week at other times. The
cutting height should be between 4 and 6 cm
and the growth before the next cut should be
between 4 and 5 cm. If the lawn grows longer
than this on occasion, do not make the mistake
of cutting to normal length straight away since
this will damage the lawn. Never cut the grass
by more than half its height. Keep the underside
of the mower casing clean and remove all grass
deposits from it. Deposits make it more difficult
to start the mower and also adversely affect the
mowing quality and the grass discharge. On
slopes mow across the slope (not in up or down
direction).
You can counteract the tendency of the mower
to slide down the slope by setting it at an angle
upwards. 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
