The safety distance between the blade casing
and the user provided by the guide struts must be
maintained at all times. Take special care when
mowing and changing direction on embankments
and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure sur-
face to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles
that off er good grip, and long trousers.
Always mow across the slope (not in up or down
direction). Do not use the mower on gradients
exceeding 15° for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and
pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling.
Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing
swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.
This will prevent the grass blades from fraying
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
The swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows. In the main growing season (May
- June) you will probably need to mow the lawn
twice a week, otherwise just once a week. The
cutting height should be between 4 - 6cm and the
amount of growth before mowing again should be
4 - 5cm. If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat
longer for whatever reason, do not make the mis-
take of cutting it back to the normal height in one
go. This will harm the lawn. Never cut it back by
more than half the height in one go.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more diffi cult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. Make several passes so that no
more than 4cm 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 motor 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 com-
plete 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 po-
wer 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. Im-
portant! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the blade
has come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap 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 suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings 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 motor is
switched off and the blade has stopped.
Lift up the chute fl ap with one hand and, holding
the grass basket by its handle with the other
hand, hang in the basket from the top.
