6. To switch the apparatus off, release the start handle (2).

The blade will keep rotating for a few seconds after the device has been switched off. Do not touch the running blade. There is a risk of personal 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 – 80 mm. In the main vegetation period, the lawn is to be mowed at least once a week.

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 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.

GB

- 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.

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. Turn the equipment over.

2. Use sturdy gloves and hold the blade firmly (20). Turn the blade screw (21) 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 firmly.

Storage

The device features the following storage options to save space:

1. Release the upper and lower quick-release levers (3+6).

2. Fold out the bow-type handle (1) and the lower bar (4) over the device housing (10).

Make sure that the cables do not become trapped.

1. You can also place the device upright in the stow position with the bow-type handle (1) folded either in or out

2. Keep the equipment dry and out of reach of children.

3. Allow the motor to cool before storing the equipment in a confined space.
4. 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 non-original parts or by use other than for the intended purpose.

Waste disposal and environmental protection
