SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHTS

Important!
Adjust the cutting height
only when the engine is

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.
To obtain the desired cutting height, the front and
rear axles are repositioned on the underside
of the mower housing.
Warning!
Disconnect the mower from
the power supply and
ensure the blade has
stopped coasting before
adjusting the height.

Important! To prevent the machine switching on
accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with
a safety lock-off which must be pressed before the
switching bar 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
flap if the grass bag is being
emptied and the motor is
still running. The rotating
blade can cause serious
injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag
carefully. Always switch off the motor before
you remove these items.
The safety distance between the blade casing and
the user provided by the guide struts must be
maintained at all times.
