5 USING THE MACHINE

The machine must be connected via an
earth leakage circuit breaker with fault
current 30 mA. There is otherwise a
risk of fatal electric shocks.
Never run over the extension lead. Risk
of fatal electric shocks.

5.1 Vertical cutting

Making vertical cuts in the lawn achieves the fol-
lowing benefits:
• The air can penetrate down into the soil layer,
making it easier for moisture to evaporate. This
counteracts the growth of moss.
• Loose moss can be scarified and gathered in the
collector.
• The grass roots are divided, so increasing in
number. This produces a denser lawn with more
blades of grass.

ENGLISH

5.2 Before use

When performing vertical cutting, the grass must
be as short as possible, ideally not more than 4 cm
long. Vertical cutting can be carried out with or
without a collector. If the collector is not used, the
waste will be dropped and distributed evenly be-
hind the machine.

5.3 During use

Connect the machine using an extension lead to a
230 VAC electric socket. See "4.1.1 Electric sock-
et and relieving loop". The electric socket must
have a 10 A fuse.
Set the desired cutting depth and start the machine.
Start working on the lawn as close to the mains
electric socket as possible in order to minimise the
risk of running over the cable. The cable must not
be run over under any circumstances.
Never stretch the cable; it should remain in a loose
loop at the side of the machine.

5.4 After use

The machine must not be rinsed with
water. This will damage the machine's
electrical components and can produce
fatal electric shocks.
Stop the machine and disconnect the connection
cable.
Clean the machine with a soft brush and a moist
cloth.
Store the machine in a cool, dry location.
6 MAINTENANCE
The machine must always be disconnect-
ed from power when carrying out mainte-
nance or repairs. Risk of crushing injuries
and fatal electric shocks.

6.1 Regular maintenance

The machine requires no regular maintenance oth-
er than cleaning, as described above.
6.2 Adjusting drive belt
1. Remove the motor casing by unscrewing the 3
screws in fig. 8.
2. Raise the motor casing along the handle.
3. Loosen the motor's adjustment screws. See fig.
8.
4. Push the motor forwards until the belt is cor-
rectly tensioned. Check that the motor is tensio-
ned equally on both sides.
5. Tighten the motor's adjustment screws.
6. Reassemble the casing. See fig. 7.
