The appliance permits 6 adjustments of
cutting height, from 20 to 70 mm (see Fig. D).
Tip!
j
For the first cut of the season, when the stems
have grown to at least 5 to 6 cm, set a high
cutting height. Subsequently, always mow with
the same cutting height adjustment, if possible.
Repeat this procedure weekly if possible, for as
long as the grass continues to grow - i.e. into
the autumn. Immediately before the winter peri-
od mow the grass for the last time down at the
usual cutting height.

Overload protection
The overload protection prevents damage to the
appliance. It switches the motor off as soon as a
blockage is apparent or an overload threatens.
j
If the overload protection activates itself, allow the
appliance to remain switched off for ca. 5 minutes.
j
Remove the possible cause (e.g. long grass
straws or foreign bodies).
j
Increase the cutting height by about 2 cm
should the overload have been caused by long
grass straws.
