- Cracks caused by ageing of the insulation sheath
- Kinks caused by incorrect fastening or routing of
the mains lead.
Such damaged mains leads should not be used
under any circumstances as they may cause fatal
injuries due to their damaged insulation sheath.
Cables, plugs and connection sockets must satisfy
the conditions listed below. Mains leads for
connecting lawn mowers must have rubber insulation
sheaths.
The mains leads must be at least type H05RN-F and
have three wires. The type designation must be
printed on the mains lead. Only buy mains leads that
have their type data printed on them. The plugs and
connection sockets on mains leads must be made of
rubber and be splashproof. Mains leads are subject
to length restrictions. Long mains leads require larger
cable cross-sections. Mains leads and connection
cables must be checked at regular intervals for signs
of damage. Ensure that the leads are not connected
to the power supply when you check them. Uncoil
the mains lead in full. Also check the mains lead
connection points at plugs and connection sockets
for kinks.
The lawn mower if designed for use in private
gardens.
Lawn mowers for use in private gardens are mowers
whose annual use does not generally exceed 50
hours and that are primarily used for tending grass or
lawn areas, but not in public facilities, parks or sports
grounds and not for agricultural or forestry use.
Compliance with the operating manual supplied by
the manufacturer is a prerequisite for the proper
usage of the lawn mower. The operating manual
contains servicing and maintenance instructions as
well as directions for use.
Important. As a result of the potential danger to the
user, the lawn mower must not be used to trim
bushes, hedges and shrubs, to cut or shred climbing
plants or lawns on roof gardens or in balcony boxes
or to clean footpaths, nor must it be used as a
chopper for shredding tree or hedge cuttings.
Furthermore, the lawn mower must not be used as a
cultivator or to level off uneven areas of ground, e.g.
molehills.
For safety reasons the lawn mower must not be used
as a power unit for other tools and tool sets of any
type unless the manufacturer expressly approves
such use.

4. Assembling the lawn mower

The lawn mower is delivered unassembled. The
complete push bar and the grass collector must be
assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow the
operating instructions step-by-step and use the
pictures provided as a visual guide to easily
assemble the machine.
Mounting the push bar (see Figs. 3 to 10).
Take the push bar brackets and insert them into the
two respective openings (Fig. 3). Attach the push bar
brackets as shown in Fig. 4, using the screws
provided.
The lower push bar then has to be slid onto the push
bar bracket (Fig. 5).
Important! Do not forget to first slide the stress-relief
clip (Fig. 5/Item 1) onto the lower push bar.
Screw the tubes together, using the screws supplied
(A), the plastic part (B) and the hand wheel (C) (Fig.
6). Now push the upper push bar over the lower push
bar (Fig. 7) and screw together as shown in Fig. 8.
Then attach the power cable to the push bar (Fig.
10/Item A) using the cable clips (Fig. 9).
Mounting the grass collecting device (see Fig. 11
to 15)
Mount the bar frame as shown in Fig.11. Pull the
grass bag over the bar frame (Fig. 12.) The grass
bag must be fastened to the bar frame as shown in
Fig. 13 and 14. Before you ever fit the grass bag to
the mower you must ensure that the motor is
switched off and the blade is not rotating.
Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 15 / Item. A) with one hand.
With the other hand, hold the grass bag by the
handle and hook it in from above (Fig. 15).
5. Setting the cutting heights
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when the
engine is switched off and the power cable has been
disconnected.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are
damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt
and/or damaged blades. To carry out this check, first
switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as follows (see Fig.
16):
To adjust the cutting height press the button (A)
