DANGER! Risk of injury! The
device may only be put into operation
if there are no defects. If a part is
defective it must be replaced before
the device is used again.
Check to make sure the device is in safe
operating condition:
– Check to make sure there are no visible
defects.
– Check to make sure all device compo-
nents are correctly mounted.
Preparation
Set the cutting height
The cutting height can be set to one of the
four different heights. (cutting heights:
► Technical data – p. 24).
► P. 4, fig. 6
– Pull out the bolt mechanism (6) and use
the support roller (14) to set the height.
– Let the bolt mechanism (6) slot back into
place.
– Do the same on the other side.
Attaching the cuttings bag
► P. 4, fig. 7
– Hang the mounting bar (12) of the bag (7)
onto the axis of the support roller (14).
► P. 4, fig. 8
– Fix the bag (7) using the straps (8) to the
lower handle section (3).
Mowing
DANGER! Risk of injury! Before
starting work check the area and
remove all objects which may be
kicked up by the unit.
22
Note: Guide the unit at an even, slow
pace (walking speed) and with as
straight a path as possible.
Try not be cut grass when wet.
Use overlapping paths to produce and
even cutting pattern.
Cut longer grass with a greater cutting
height initially, then cut crosswise
using the desire cutting height.
Cleaning and maintenance
DANGER! Risk of injury! Carry out
the maintenance work described here
in person.
Improper maintenance work can
damage the device and lead to inju-
ries.
Cleaning and maintenance overview
Before each use
What?
General function
check.
Check all screw con-
nections.
Cleaning the device
Clean unit immediately after every use. Dried
grass remains are very hard, and are very dif-
ficult to remove.
– Remove grass remains with a brush, and
a plastic scraper if required (do not use
sharp implements).
– Remove deposits on the wheels.
– Wipe the tool with a damp cloth.
– Never clean the unit with water or high-
pressure stream.
Setting the cutting mechanism
The cutting mechanism is preset ex works.
After a longer period of use it may need to be
readjusted.
• If the blades are too loose, the cutting pat-
tern is rough and uneven.
• If the blades are too tight, the unit will
become noisy and difficult to push.
► P. 4, fig. 9
– Set the hexagonal screw (15) on both
sides of the unit in such a way that the
lower blade (16) and the spindle
blade (17) can barely be heard touching.
Turn the hexagonal screw clockwise to move
the lower blade towards the spindle blade.
How?
Visual check.
Visual check and, if
necessary, tighten.
