Setting the working depth
Only with the motor switched off and the blade
shaft at a standstill.
1
Set the working depth of the blade shaft on
the dial.
Positions on the dial:
N = neutral
operating/transport position
1 - 6 = setting of the working depths
With new blades, set the dial to position 2 at
the most.
Select the working depth depending upon the
wear of the blades and the state of the lawn. If the
motor does not pull through or even stops in aera-
ting, the wrong working depth has been selected.
Turn the dial back to the lowest working depth.
The motor must turn evenly.
Adjustment level per step: 3 mm
Current connection

Do not start the appliance if it is standing in
long grass.

After the motor has been switched off,
!
the blade shaft continues to rotate for a
few seconds - therefore, do not put your
hands under the appliance straight
away.
Checking by an expert is necessary:
a) after hitting an obstacle
b) if the motor comes to an immediate standstill
c) if the blades are bent (do not straighten)
d) if the motor shaft is bent (do not straighten)
e) if the toothed belts are defective
f) if the wire leading to the motor is damaged.
Storage of the appliance
Store the appliance in a dry room - allow the motor
to cool off beforehand.
To save space in storage, the upper handle can be
tipped upwards.
For this, unscrew the butterfly nuts about 6 revolu-
tions.
Attention: Do not jam the electric wire when pivo-
ting.

!
ce and cleaning work.

Never splash with water.
Penetrating water can destroy the switch/plug
combination and the electric motor.
