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. Dur-
ing 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 cm of grass length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any inspections
of the blade. Remember than the blade will continue to
turn for a few seconds after the motor has been switched
off. Never attempt to stop the blade.
Check regularly that the cutting blade is properly attached
and in good condition. If not, grind or replace the blade.
If the moving blade strikes an object, stop the mower and
wait until the blade has come to a complete standstill.
Then check the condition of the blade and the blade
holder. If they are damaged, they must be replaced.
Place the mains lead in loops on the ground in front of
the socket. Mow away from the socket and cable and
ensure that the mains lead is always on the section of
lawn that you have already mowed so that you do not
run over the mains lead with the mower. 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 open-
ing. 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.

Disposal and recycling
The unit is supplied in packaging to prevent its being
damaged in transit. This packaging is raw material and
can therefore be reused or can be returned to the raw
material system.
The unit and its accessories are made of various types

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into
the device.
Important! Wear work gloves!
Loosen the fastening screw (Fig. 13).
Remove the blade and replace with a new one.
When fitting the blade, make sure it is installed in the
right direction. The blade's air vanes must jut into the
motor compartment.
Then retighten the fastening screw. The tightening
torque should be approx. 25 Nm.
