Important! To prevent the machine switching on
accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with
a safety lock-off which must be pressed before the
switching bar 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.
Never open the discharge
flap if the grass bag 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.
> 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.
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

mower to slide down the slope by setting it at an
angle upwards.
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 blade is correctly secured,
in good condition and well ground. 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.
