Mowing
Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as
close to the power point as possible. Work away
from the power point. (see figure
Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at
the end of each turn.
When mowing do not allow the motor to la-
bour particularly in heavy conditions. When
the motor labours the speed of the motor
drops and you will hear a change in the motor
sound, when this occurs stop mowing, re-
lease switch lever and raise the height of
cut. Failure to do so could damage the ma-
chine.
Note: The motor is equipped with an overload
protector that trips when the blade is blocked or
the load on the motor is too high.
When this happens, switch the unit off and pull
the mains cable.
Remove possible obstructions and wait a few
minutes before continuing.
When the overload protector trips again, a
greater cutting height must be adjusted in order
to reduce the load on the motor.

The level indicator 17 protrudes in regular operation.
When the grassbox must be emptied or the dis-
charge passage 18 at the bottom side of the lawn-
mower is blocked and must be cleaned, the level in-
dicator goes down.

Maintenance
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out
the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged blades, loose fixings, and
worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or
repairs before using.
If the mower should happen to fail despite the care
taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be
carried out by an authorised customer service agent
for Bosch garden products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al-
ways include the 10-digit part number from the

Turn the machine on its right side and inspect the
blade and fan; if blunt or damaged, replace.
Use the following procedure to remove and replace
the blade.
Hold the blade 15 using gardening gloves (not pro-
vided) use the spanner/scraper provided to remove
the blade nut 14, blade washer 16 and blade.
Fit the blade, blade washer and the blade nut. En-
sure that the blade is the correct way up (so that this
symbol can be seen located) and tighten the nut
firmly.
After Mowing/Storage
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a
soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially
from the ventilation slots 9.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade
area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade
area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place. Do not place
other objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage loosen the wing nuts 13 and fold the
