Cleaning And Maintenance; Cleaning; Adjusting The Cutting Clearance - Parkside FHM 38 A1 Betriebsanleitung

• Run the machine at walking pace, in
strips that are a straight as possible.
For seamless mowing, the strips should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope.
• For the first cut of the season, choose
a high the cut height and reduce the
height to around 20 mm for the subse-
quent cuts.
Cleaning and
Maintenance
Have work that is not de-
scribed in these instructions
carried out by one of our
authorised customer service
centres. Use only original
components. The following
states how damage to the
trimmer and possible injury
to people can be avoided.
Wear gloves when dealing with the
blades. Risk of cuts.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damage and check that these are sitting
correctly. Replace if necessary.

Cleaning

Neither hose down nor use running
water to clean the mower.
• Always keep the machine clean. For
cleaning, use a brush or cloth, but no
cleaning agents or solvents.
• After mowing, remove any plant
remains stuck to the wheels and the
blade area.
• Rub the blades with an oil rag or spray
them with a metal maintenance spray.
• Due to the special cutting geometry,
the blade cylinder blades cannot be
re-sharpened. If necessary, the blade
cylinder and sub-blade must therefore
be replaced as a set. Have a specialist
workshop carry out the installation of
the blade cylinder.
Adjusting the Cutting
Clearance
The blade cylinder blades must be ad-
justed if the grass is no longer being cut
evenly and cleanly.
1. Remove the machine key (3) and
metal strips (feeler gauge) (4) from
the machine holder (cf.
2. Push the metal strip (4) between a
blade cylinder (8) blade and the
sub-blade (11).
3. Turn the hex bolts (10) to the right
then to the left on the machine,
in small steps in the clockwise
direction until the metal strip sticks
slightly.
4. Check the setting by turning the
blade cylinder. None of the blade
cylinder blades should be in
contact and grinding on the sub-
blade.
5. Return the machine key (3) and
the metal strip (feeler gauge) (4) to
the tool holder (cf.
If it is no longer possible to adjust
the cutting clearance, the blade
cylinder and sub-blade must be re-
placed as a set.
