5. Before switching on, tilt the
lawnmower slightly to one side.
This facilitates the start-up and
prevents an unintentionally
deep cutting circle at the point of
contact, as the air cushion only
builds up after start-up.
6 To switch on, press the .
release button (14)
while holding down the
start lever (16).
Release the release button (14).
7. To switch off, release the start
lever (16).
After switching off the equip-
ment, the blade continues to
turn for several seconds. Do not
touch the moving blade. There
is a risk of injury.
Working with the Lawnmower
Observe noise control and local
regulations.
Regular mowing encourages increased
foliation of the grass and kills off weeds at
the same time. Therefore, not only does
each mowing increase the density of the
lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient
lawn.
The first cut is to be made in around April..
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 mow-
ing, 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 go-
ing backwards and pulling the equip-
ment.
•
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.
