Setting the cutting height
m CAUTION! Adjust the cutting height only when
the engine is switched off and the plug boot has
been pulled.
• Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are
damaged.
• To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or
damaged blades as a set only (if applicable). To
carry out this check, first switch off the engine and
pull the spark plug boot.
• The cutting height is centrally adjusted with the cut-
ting height adjustor lever (Fig.13/ Item 14). 5 differ-
ent cutting heights can be selected.
• Pull the adjustor lever out and select the desired
cutting height. The lever snaps into the desired po-
sition. (Fig. 13)
Preparing the area to be mowed
Before mowing, carefully examine the area. Remove
