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 Raking the lawn
Raking the lawn and clearing it of dead material
achieves the following 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.
5.2 Before use
Raking the lawn should not be done too early in the
spring, the grass may then be uprooted. Therefore
wait until after tha lawn has been cut for the third
time before raking it.
When raking the lawn, the grass must be as short
as possible, ideally not more than 4 cm long.
Raking the lawn can be carried out with or without
a collector. If the collector is not used, the waste
will be dropped and distributed evenly behind 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.

ENGLISH
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.
Authorised service stations carry out repairs and
servicing. They use genuine spare parts.
Under no circumstances may parts
other than genuine spare parts be used.
This is a requirement stipulated by the
Testing Authority. The machine is
approved and tested with these parts.
If the machine requires servicing,
repairs or maintenance which entail
dismantling of the cover, this must be
performed by an authorised service
station.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make
alterations to the product without prior
notification.
