• Always keep the extension cable be-
hind you and when you turn, move it to
the side that has already been mowed.
• Run the equipment at a walking pace,
in tracks that are as even as possible.
For gap-free mowing, the tracks should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Adjust the cut height so the equipment
is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo-
tor may be damaged.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope. Take particular care when going
backwards and pulling the equipment.
• Clean the equipment after each use, as
described in the chapter on "Cleaning,
Maintenance and Storage".
Switch off the equipment after
work and in order to transport it,
disconnect the plug and wait until
the blade stops. There is a risk of
injury.
Cleaning,
Maintenance and

Storage

Have work that is not described
in these instructions carried out by
a customer service centre that we
have authorised. Use only original
parts.
Wear gloves when handling the
blade.
Switch off the equipment before all
maintenance and cleaning work,
disconnect the plug and wait until
the blade stops.
There is a risk of injury.
General Cleaning and Main-
tenance Work
Do not hose down the lawnmower
with water.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a brush or cloth but no de-
tergent or solvent.
• After mowing, use a piece of wood
or plastic to remove adherent plant
remains from the wheels, ventilation
holes, ejection hole and blade area.
Do not use hard or pointed objects, as
these may damage the blade.
• Before each use, check the lawnmower
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts. Check that all nuts,
bolts and screws are sitting firmly.
• Check the covers and protective de-
vices for damage and check that they
are sitting correctly. Replace them if
necessary.

Changing the Blade

If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened
by a specialist workshop. If the blade is
damaged or showing signs of imbalance,
it must be replaced (see chapter on "Spare
Parts").
I
1. Turn the equipment over.
2. Use sturdy gloves and hold the
blade (18) firmly. Turn the blade
screw (17) anticlockwise off of
the motor spindle (19) using a
screwdriver (A/F width13).
3. Install the new blade (18) in the
reverse order. Ensure that the
blade (18) is positioned correctly
and the screw (17) tightened
firmly.
Storage
• Keep the equipment dry and out of
reach of children. Loosen the wing nuts
and fold down the handle bar so the
equipment takes up less space. Ensure
that the cable is not caught.
• Allow the motor to cool before storing
the equipment in a confined space.
