5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

The lawn mower is delivered unassembled.

The complete push bar and the grass basket must be assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow the operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the equipment.

Fitting the push bar (Fig. 3a to 3c)

Take a bottom push bar (Fig. 2 /Item 3) and fasten it with the nut (Fig. 2/Item 13) as shown in Fig. 3a. Proceed in the same way on the other side. Screw the top push bar (Fig. 2/Item 1) to the bottom push bar (Fig. 2/Item 3) as shown in Fig. 3b. Then attach the power cable to the push bar (Fig. 3c/Item A) using the cable clips (Fig. 2/Item 14).

GB

Mounting the grass basket (Fig. 4a to 4c)

Plug the bottom and the top part of the grass box together (Fig. 4a/Item 9, 10). Ensure that all the plastic lugs engage correctly. Next push the grass box handle (Fig. 4b/Item 11) into the openings on the grass box. Check that the handle is secure and correctly positioned. Before you fit the grass basket you must ensure that the motor is switched off and the blade is not rotating.

The grass box must be attached to the two hooks on the mower (Fig. 4c). To do this, open the ejector fl ap with one hand (Fig. 4c/Item 4) and attach the grass box with the other hand. The ejector fl ap is held against the grass box by a spring.

Adjusting the cutting height Important!

Adjust the cutting height only when the motor has been switched off and the power cable has been disconnected.

Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry out this check, first switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.

The cutting height is adjusted as shown in Figure 5. To do so, turn the equipment upside down or tilt it to the side. Position both the front and rear axle in the same notch, so that the cutting blade runs parallel to the lawn.

Power supply

The lawn mower can be connected to any light socket-outlet with a 230 Volt alternating current. However, the socket outlet must have an earthing contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a residual current device (RCD) circuit-breaker with max. 30 mA must be used!

Power cable for the device

Please only use power cables that are not damaged. The total length of the power cable should not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will reduce the power output of the electric motor. The power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm ^2 . The insulating sheath of lawn aerator power cables is frequently damaged.

Some of the causes for this are:

• Cuts caused by running over the cable
- Pinching when the power cable is dragging under doors and pulled through windows.
• Cracking due to old age of the insulation
- Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the power cable

The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only purchase power cables that are marked as such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables must be made from rubber and be splashproof. There is a limit to how long power cables can be. Longer power cables require larger conductor cross-sections. Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-energized before checking them. Completely unwind the power cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.

6. Operation

Connect the power cable to the power plug (Fig. 1/Item 7) and secure the power cable with the cable stress-relief clip (Fig. 6). Use the fasteners (cable holders) for the power cable.

Important!

To prevent the machine switching on accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch (Fig. 6/Item 1) which must be pressed before the ON switch (Fig. 6/Item 2) can be activated. The lawn mower switches itself off when the switch is released.

Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the blade is not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.

Important. Never open the discharge fl ap if the grass box is being emptied and the motor is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries.

Always secure the discharge fl ap and grass bag carefully. Always switch off the motor before you remove these items.

GB

The safety distance between the blade casing and the user provided by the guide struts must be maintained at all times. Take special care when mowing and changing direction on embankments and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure surface to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles that offer good grip, and long trousers.

Always mow across the slope (not in up or down direction). Do not use the mower on gradients exceeding 15^ for safety reasons.

Take special care when moving backwards and pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling.

Tips for proper mowing

It is recommended that you overlap the mowing swaths.

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.

Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid stripes.

How frequently you should mow your lawn is determined primarily by the speed at which the grass grows. In the main growing season (May - June) you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a week, otherwise just once a week. The cutting height should be between 4 - 6cm and the amount of growth before mowing again should be 4 - 5cm. If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer for whatever reason, do not make the mistake of cutting it back to the normal height in one go. This will harm the lawn. Never cut it back by more than half the height in one go. Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.

Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding a position at an angle upwards.

Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. Make several passes so that no more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.

Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never attempt to manually

stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.

Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in front of the power outlet. Mow away from the power outlet and cable, making sure that the power cable always trails in the mowed grass so that the lawn mower does not travel over the cable.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass basket. Important! Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the motor and wait until the blade has come to a stop.

To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down after removing the grass basket and closes off the rear chute opening. If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if you pull the mower back approximately 1m.

Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.

In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings are picked up, the inside of both the grass basket and especially the net must be cleaned after each use.

Reattach the grass basket only when the motor is switched off and the blade has stopped.

Lift up the chute flap with one hand and, holding the grass basket by its handle with the other hand, hang in the basket from the top.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

GB

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

8.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician. Important! The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

8.3 Servicing

• Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts, and bolts should be replaced as a set by an authorized professional in order to keep the machine in balance.
• Do not clean the lawn mower with running water, particularly with high-pressure water. Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the machine can be safely operated at all times.
• Frequently check the grass catch assembly for signs of wear.
• Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
  • Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
• In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier for many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.
• Keeping your hand mower in good condition not only ensures a long lifespan and high performance, but also enables the machine to thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort. For best results, clean the lawn mower with a

brush or rag. Do not use any solvents or water to remove dirt.

• The cutting components - i.e. the knife cage and lower knife blade - are subjected to more wear and tear than any other component of the unit. Therefore, routinely check the condition of the blade and make sure that it is tightly fastened. If the blade is completely worn out, it must be immediately replaced or ground sharp again. An excessively vibrating mower means that the blade is not properly balanced or has become deformed from striking an object. In this case, the blade must be repaired or replaced.
• There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

8.4 Replacing the blade

For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade replaced by an authorized professional. Important. Wear work gloves! Only replace the blade with a genuine Einhell replacement blade, as this will ensure top performance and safety under all conditions.

Carry out the following steps to change the blade:

1. Undo the fastening screw (see Fig. 7a).
2. Remove the blade and replace with a new one.
3. When fi tting the blade, make sure it is installed in the right direction. The blade's air vanes must jut into the motor compartment (see Fig. 7a). The dome mounts must be aligned with the punch holes in the blade (see Fig. 7b).
4. Then retighten the fastening screw with the universal wrench. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.

At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the lawn mower and remove any grass and dirt which may have accumulated. At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the blade. If repairs are necessary, please contact our customer service center. Use only genuine spare parts.
