1. Place the lawnmower on its side.

2. Grasp the wheel axle (25) on both

3. Pull evenly on the axle and let it snap

into the desired 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 selected for the rst cut of the sea- son. Working with the Lawnmower Regular mowing encourages increased foliation of the grass and kills o󰀨 weeds at the same time. Therefore, not only does each mowing increase the density of the lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient lawn. When mulch mowing the grass is cut in one cycle, nely chopped and distributed on the lawn. The cut grass acts as a natu- ral fertilizer.

• 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 possi- ble. For gap-free mowing, the tracks should always overlap by a few centi- metres.

• 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 o󰀨 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 Have work that is not described in these instructions carried out by a customer service centre that we have authorised. Use only original parts.GB

Wear gloves when handling the blade Switch o󰀨 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. This would result in the danger of an electric shock and the appliance could be damaged.

• 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. Changing the Blade Switch o󰀨 the equipment before all maintenance and cleaning work, disconnect the plug and wait until the blade stops. 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”).
