Select the cutting height according to the length of the
grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it
several times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are
cut at one time.
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the
blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine 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.
Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in front of
the power outlet. Mow away from the power outlet and
cable, making sure that the power cable always trails
in the mowed grass so that the lawn mower does not
travel over the cable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important. Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the engine and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift up
the chute flap and the other to grab onto the basket
handle. Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the
chute flap automatically falls down after removing the
grass basket and closes off the rear chute opening. If
any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to
restart the engine if you pull the mower back
approximately 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in
or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable
tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings
are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket and
especially the net must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the engine is
switched off and the blade is stopped.
Using one hand, lift up the chute flap, while grabbing
onto the basket handle with the other. Hang in the
basket from the top.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Pull the safety plug before carrying out any cleaning
work (Figure 15e).
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
down with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the equipment
n
immediately after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the
plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the equipment.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important. The carbon brushes should not be
replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
8.3 Servicing
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts, and
n
bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
equipment in balance.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running water,
n
particularly with high-pressure water. Ensure that
all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts
etc.) are always tightened so that the equipment
can be safely operated at all times.
Frequently check the grass catch assembly for
n
signs of wear.
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
n
immediately.
Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
n
In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier for
n
many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as
the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and
lubricated.
Keeping your hand mower in good condition not
n
only ensures a long lifespan and high
performance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort. For
best results, clean the lawn mower with a brush or
rag. Do not use any solvents or water to remove
dirt.
The cutting components - i.e. the knife cage and
n
lower knife blade - are subjected to more wear
and tear than any other component of the unit.
Therefore, routinely check the condition of the
