In the main vegetation period, the lawn is
to be mowed at least once a week.
• Start mowing near the socket
and work away from the socket.
• Always keep the extension ca-
ble behind 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, disconnect the plug and wait
until the blade stops. There is a
risk of injury.
Cleaning, Maintenance
and Storage
Have work that is not described in
these instructions carried out by
a customer service centre that we
have authorised. Use only original
parts.
Wear gloves when handling the
blade.
Switch off the equipment before all
maintenance and cleaning work,
disconnect the plug and wait until
the blade stops.

General Cleaning and Mainte-
nance Work
Do not hose down the lawnmower
with water. This would result in the
danger of an electric shock.
• Always keep the equipment
clean. To clean, use a brush or
cloth but no detergent or solvent.
• After mowing, use a piece of
wood or plastic to remove adhe-
rent plant remains from the ven-
tilation holes and blade area.
Do not use hard or pointed ob-
jects, as these may damage the
blade.
•
oil the rollers 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 (17) firmly. Loosen the
blade bolt (16) with the supplied
spanner (5).
3. Install the new blade in the
reverse order. Ensure that the
blade is positioned correctly and
the screw tightened firmly.
