Working with the
Lawnmower
Regular mowing encourages increased foli-
ation of the grass and kills off weeds at the
same time. Therefore, not only does each
mowing increase the density of the lawn, it
also produces an evenly resilient lawn.
The fi rst cut is to be made in around April,
at a growth height of 70 – 80 mm. In the
main vegetation period, the lawn is to be
mowed at least once a week.
• 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 in-
jury.
Cleaning, Maintenance
and Storage
Have work that is not de-
scribed 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 device, pull the
ignition key (12) and wait for the
blades to come to a stop. There is a
risk of personal injury.
General Cleaning and
Maintenance Work
Do not hose down the lawn-
mower with water. Electric
shock hazard
• 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 fi rmly.
• 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
1. Turn the equipment over.
2. Use sturdy gloves and hold the blade
fi rmly (18).
