This device is designed for operation on a power supply network with a system impedance (Internal resistance of the mains) Zmax at the transfer point (domestic connection) of a maximum of 0.277 Ohms. The user must ensure that the device is operated only on a power supply network that fulfils this requirement. If necessary, the local power supply company can be asked for the system impedance.

The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to compare one power tool to another. The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure assessment.

Warning: The vibration emission value may differ during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used. Safety precautions aimed at protecting the user should be based on estimated exposure under actual usage conditions (all parts of the operating cycle are to be considered, including, for example, times during which the power tool is turned off and times when the tool is turned on but is running idle).

The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with the standards and regulations specified in the declaration of conformity. Technical and visual modifications may be made without notice in the course of further development. All dimensions, information and specifications in these operating instructions are therefore not guaranteed. As such, no assertion of legal claims can be enforced on the basis of the operating instructions.

4. To switch off, release the start lever (15).

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 foliation 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 first cut is to be made in around April, at a growth height of 70 - 80mm . 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 behind 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 motor 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 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 Maintenance Work

Do not hose down the lawnmower with water.

Always keep the equipment clean. To clean, use a brush or cloth but no detergent 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 firmly.
- Check the covers and protective devices 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 (see chapter on "Spare Parts").

1. Switch off the equipment, disconnect the plug and wait until the blade stops.

2. Turn the equipment over.

3. Use sturdy gloves and hold the

blade firmly (19). Turn the blade screw (18) anticlockwise off of the motor spindle (20) using a screwdriver (A/F width 13).

1. Install the new blade in the reverse order. Ensure that the blade is positioned correctly and the screw tightened firmly.

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

We will not be liable for damages caused by our equipment where these are caused by improper repair or the use of nonoriginal parts or by use other than for the intended purpose.
