There is a risk of injury.Assembling the Curved Handle

1. Insert the lower bar (3) into the slot on the lawnmower housing (6). 2. Fix the bar (3) using the en-closed screws (13).

3. Fix the curved handle (1) using the enclosed screws (14) and the wing nuts (2) on the lower bar (3). There are two possible positions. 4. Clip the cable holder (8) into the bar (3) + curved handle (1) and thus x the cable. When both wing nuts are loosened, the curved handle can be folded down for storing the equipment. Ensure that the power cable is not caught.GB

Assembling the Grass Box Wear protective gloves when carrying out maintenance and cleaning work on the tool to avoid injury from cuts.

1. Connect the two pieces of the

collection box (16). 2. Connect the handle (15) in one of the two pieces of the collec-tion box (16). Do not work with the lawnmower without the collision guard or lawn box. There is a risk of injury. Operation Hanging On / Removing the Grass Box

1. To hang on the grass box (4), lift the collision guard (7) and hang on the grass box. Fold the col-lision guard (7) onto the grass box (4). It holds the grass box in the correct position. 2. To remove the grass box (4), lift the collision guard (7) and detach the grass box. Fold the collision guard (7) back onto the mower housing (6). Adjusting the Cut Height Switch off the equipment, discon-nect the plug and wait for the blade to stop. There is a risk of injury.The lawn mower can be adjusted to the following cutting heights by changing the position of the wheels: 60 mm - Tall cutting height 40 mm - Medium cutting height 20 mm - Short cutting height1. Reach under the body of the lawn mower (6) and pull the wheel axle to-wards you.2. While pulled, the wheel axle can be moved up or down to any of the three cutting heights.3. If the height is correct, just let go of the spring-loaded wheel axle to let it snap back into working position.The correct height is around 20 40 mm for a decorative lawn and around 40 60 mm for a used lawn. A higher cut height should be se-lected for the rst cut of the season. Observe the noise protection and local regulations. Switching On and Off 1. Insert the power cable plug into the socket (9) on the curved handle (1). 2. To relieve the strain, form a loop with the end of the power cable and hang this into the strain re-lief (11).

To switch on, press the release button (10) on the handle at the same time as pressing the start lever (12). Release the release button (10). 6. To switch off, release the startGB

lever (12). After switching off the equipment, the blade continues to turn for several seconds. Do not touch the moving blade. There is a risk of injury. 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.

• 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. There is a risk of injury. General Cleaning and Mainte- nance Work Do not hose down the lawnmower 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 lawnmow- er 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.GB

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 (18) rmly. Turn the blade screw (17) anticlockwise off of the motor spindle (19) using a screwdriver.

3. Install the new blade (18) in the re-

verse order. Ensure that the blade (18) is positioned correctly and the screw (17) tightened rmly. Storage

• Keep the equipment dry and out of reach of children. Loosen the wing nuts and fold down the handle bar so the equipment takes up less space. Ensure that the cable is not caught.

• Allow the motor to cool before storing the equipment in a con- ned space.

• Do not cover the equipment with nylon bags as moisture could build up.
