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.
9. Servicing and storage
Servicing and cleaning work on the lawn mower and
the removal of the guards may only be carried out
after the motor has been switched off and the plug
disconnected from the power supply.
Worn or damaged blades, blade holders and bolts
must be replaced together by an authorized
specialist to maintain the balance of the mower.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running water,
particularly not if it is at high pressure.
Ensure that all the fastening elements (screws, nuts,
etc.) are tight at all times so that you can work with
the mower in safety.
Check the grass collection device frequently for signs
of wear.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
Store your lawn mower in a dry place. To ensure it
has a long life all the screw parts and the wheels and
axles should be cleaned and then oiled.
Providing your lawn mower with regular care will not
only extend its life and performance but will also help
you to mow your lawn properly and easily.
Clean the lawn mower with a brush or cloth. Do not
use any solvents or water to remove dirt. The
component that is subject to most wear is the blade.
You should therefore check the condition of the
blade and its mounting at regular intervals. If the
blade is worn it must be replaced or ground
immediately. If the mower starts to suffer from
excessive vibrations, this means that the blade has
not been balanced correctly or has suffered
deformation due to impacts. In this case it must be
repaired or replaced.

10. Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade
replaced by an authorized professional.
Important! Wear work gloves!
Only replace the blade with a genuine Einhell
replacement blade, as this will ensure top
performance and safety under all conditions.
Carry out the following steps to change the blade:
Undo the fastening screw.
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 (see Fig. 18). The
dome mounts must be aligned with the punch
holes in the blade (see Fig. 17).
Then retighten the fastening screw with the
universal wrench. The tightening torque should
be approx. 25 Nm.
At the end of the season, perform a general
inspection of the lawn mower and remove any grass
and dirt which may have accumulated.
At the start of each season, ensure that you check
the condition of the blade.
If repairs are necessary, please contact our customer
service center.
Use only original replacement parts.
11. Waste disposal
Important!
The lawn mower and its accessories are made of
various types of material, such as metal and plastic.
Defective components must be disposed of as
special waste. Ask your dealer or your local council.
