Level gauge The level gauge is located on the side of the grass catcher. The aerodynamic air guidance provided by the ap also opti- mises the lling. Flap open: grass catcher empty Flap closed: grass catcher full Working with the Lawnmower Regular mowing encourages increased fo- liation 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 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.GB

• The two handles (see , 12) make it easier to carry the appliance.

• Start mowing near the socket and work away from the socket.

• Always keep the extension cable be- hind you and when you turn, move it to the side that has already been mowed.

• 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 “Clean- ing, Maintenance and Storage”. Switch off the equipment after work and in order to transport it, discon- nect the plug and wait until the blade stops. There is a risk of injury. Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage Have work that is not described 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 equipment before all maintenance and cleaning work, disconnect the plug and wait until the blade stops. General Cleaning and Mainte- nance Work Do not hose down the lawnmow- er with water.

• 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.

• Oil the wheels from time to time.

• 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 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 imbal- ance, it must be replaced (see chapter on “Spare Parts”).

1. Turn the equipment over.

2. Use sturdy gloves and hold

the blade rmly (25). Turn the blade screw (26) anticlockwise off of the motor spindle using a screwdriver.

3. Install the new blade in the

reverse order. Ensure that the blade is positioned correctly and the screw tightened rmly.GB
