Read the manual before use. Never mow barefoot or with open shoes. Keep children and pets away. Always work across the slope, never up or down. Wear gloves when handling the blades.

  • People with motor disorders are not to operate the machine without supervision.
• Do not use the machine with bare feet or when wearing open sandals. Only run the machine at walking pace.
• When working, ensure a firm foothold, particularly on slopes. Always work across the slope, never up or downwards. Take particular care when changing the direction of travel on the slope. Do not work on excessively steep slopes.
• When switching the machine on, avoid feet or hands being trapped between the moving blades and the fixed parts of the machine.
• Never carry the machine by the blade cylinder.
  Caution! To avoid damaging the machine and potential injury as a consequence:
• Check the terrain on which the machine is used and remove stones, sticks, wires or other foreign bodies that may be picked up and flung outwards.
• Ensure that the machine is in a safe operating condition. Replace worn or damaged parts.
• Protect the machine from the effects of weathering (damp, frost).

Assembling the handle

1. Place the upper handle (7) on the two centre pieces (8) and fix it with two bolts (10) and wing nuts (11).

2. Put the two lower handles (9) together and fix them with two bolts (10) and wing nuts (11).

3. Fasten the centre pieces (8) to the lower handle parts (9) with two bolts (10) and wing nuts (11).
4. Press the bow-type handle (1) together a little and put the bow-type handle (1) onto the bracket on the lawn mower housing (12).

Adjusting the cut height

The cut height is infinitely adjustable (14 - 47 mm) by changing the position of the rollers:

Loosen the wing screws on both sides of the equipment and set the desired cut height. Ensure that both axles are set to the same height.

Set the cut height no lower than to where the blade cylinder does not touch the ground even where it is uneven.

Assembling/emptying the grass bag

1. Hang the grass bag in the brackets provided for this.

2. Fasten the grass collection bag (6) to the crossbar of the lower handles (9) with the strap (16).

3. To remove/empty the grass collection bag (6), loosen the strap (16) and unhook the grass collection bag.

Working Instructions

Before each use, check the machine for obvious defects, such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are sitting firmly.

Regular mowing stimulates the stronger formation of leaves in the grass as well as allowing weeds to die off at the same time. Thus, the lawn becomes thicker each time it is mowed and a lawn with even resilience is produced.

• Run the machine at walking pace, in strips that are a straight as possible. For seamless mowing, the strips should always overlap by a few centimetres.
• On slopes, always work across the slope.
• For the first cut of the season, choose a high the cut height and reduce the height to around 20 mm for the subsequent cuts.

Adjusting the blade clearance

The spindle cylinder blades require adjustment if the grass is no longer being cut evenly and cleanly. Turn the nuts (12) on the left and right of the equipment clockwise in small steps until the blades grind easily over the bottom metal bar (13) like a pair of scissors.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Have work that is not described in these instructions carried out by one of our authorised customer service centres. Use only original components. The following states how damage to the trimmer and possible injury to people can be avoided.

Wear gloves when dealing with the blades. Risk of cuts.

- Check covers and safety devices for damage and check that these are sitting correctly. Replace if necessary.

Cleaning

Neither hose down nor use running water to clean the mower.

• Always keep the machine clean. For cleaning, use a brush or cloth, but no cleaning agents or solvents.
• After mowing, remove any plant remains stuck to the wheels and the blade area.
- Rub the blades with an oil rag or spray them with a metal maintenance spray.
- Due to the special cutting geometry, the blade cylinder blades cannot be re-sharpened. If necessary, the blade cylinder and sub-blade must therefore be replaced as a set. Have a specialist workshop carry out the installation of the blade cylinder.

Storage

- Keep the machine dry and out of reach of children.

Disposal / Environmental Protection

Recycle the device, accessories and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

• Machines do not belong in domestic waste. Take the machine to a recycling point. The plastic and metal components used can be separated by type and therefore recycled. Ask your dealer about this.
• Do not dispose of cut grass in the dust-bin; use it for composting or spread it as a mulch layer under shrubs and trees.
