Drive unit (Fig. 10)
If you press the drive lever/clutch lever (22) the
clutch for the drive will be closed and the lawn
mower will start to move with the engine running.
Release the drive lever in good time to stop
the moving lawn mower. Practice starting and
stopping before you use the mower for the fi rst
time until you are familiar with controlling the
mower.
Setting the speed (Variable Speed) (Fig. 10)
The driving speed of the lawn mower can be
adjusted to various settings. To do so, turn the
adjuster lever (23) until the desired speed is
reached.
Important! The drive only operates if the motor is
switched on. You therefore have to start the motor
each time fi rst and wait at least until the rated
speed of the motor has been reached before
pressing the drive lever/clutch lever (22). It is
recommended to adjust the driving speed to the
length of the grass you want to cut. The longer the
grass, the slower the speed you should select.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be
used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the
mowing swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.
This will prevent the grass blades from fraying
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
The swaths should overlap each other by a few
inches in order to avoid stripes.
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which
the grass grows. In the main growing season
(May - June) you will probably need to mow the

lawn twice a week, otherwise just once a week.
The cutting height should be between 1-
and the amount of growth before mowing again
should be 1-
⁄
"-2". Normal grass which has
1
2
grown to a height of up to 3" can be mown to the
desired height in one go without any problems.
If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer
for whatever reason, do not make the mistake of
cutting it back to the normal height in one go. This
will harm the lawn. For grass which has grown to
over 4" in height we therefore recommend that
you mow it with the highest cutting height setting
fi rst.
Important!
The cutting height setting has an infl uence on the
maximum area that can be mown.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more diffi cult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. Make several passes so that no
more than 1-
⁄
" of grass are cut at one time.

Switch off the motor, pull the safety plug (16)
and remove the batteries (25) before doing any
checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade
continues to rotate for a few seconds after the
motor has been switched off . Never attempt to
manually stop the blade. Regularly check to
see if the blade is securely attached, is in good
condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case,
sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that
the blade strikes an object, immediately switch
off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of
the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the collection bag. Cau-
tion! Before taking off the collection bag, switch
off the motor and wait until the blade has come to
a stop. Pull out the safety plug (16).
To take off the collection bag, use one hand to
lift up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto
the bag handle. Remove the bag. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down
