Information on correct 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 de-
pends mainly on 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 cut-
ting 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 4 cm 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 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 complete 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.
Important! 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 drops after
removing the grass basket, closing off the rear
chute opening. If any grass remains in the ope-
ning, it will be easier to restart the motor 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 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.
