CAUTION: The blade begins to rotate as
soon as the engine is started.

Important: Before you start the engine, move
the motor brake several times to be sure that the
stop cable is properly working. Note: The engine
is factory set to a speed that is optimal for
cutting and blowing grass into the basket and is
designed to provide many years of use.
5.
Check the oil level.
6.
Fill the tank with petrol when it is empty, using
funnel and measuring vessel. Make sure that the
petrol is clean.
Note: Use only unleaded petrol
as fuel.
Warning: Never use more than one safety petrol
can. Do not smoke when refueling. Switch off the
engine before refueling and allow the engine to cool
down for a few minutes.
Mulching
In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread back
onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and
dispose of the grass.
Important: Mulching is only possible if the lawn is
relatively short. Optimum results can be achieved
only with a mulching blade (available as an
accessory).
To use the mulching function, disconnect the debris
bag, slide the mulching adaptor into the ejector
opening (Fig. 5d/Item 22) and close the ejector
opening.
Side ejector
You should fit the mulching adaptor (Item 22) in
order to use the side ejector. Connect the side
ejector adaptor (Fig. 5e/Item 21) as shown in Figure
5e.
Filling level indicator debris bag
The debris bag is equipped with a filling level
indicator (Fig. 2/Item 6). This will be opened by the
air current produced by the mower. If the flap falls
during mowing, the debris bag is full and should be
emptied. To ensure that the filling level indicator
works properly, the holes under the flap must be kept
clean and permeable.
7.1 Before mowing
Important information
1.
Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2.
Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or
damaged in any other way must be immediately
exchanged for a genuine Einhell replacement
blade.
3.
Do not fill the fuel tank indoors, but rather
out in the open. Use a filling funnel and a
measuring jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4.
Read and follow in the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equipment.
Store the manual in a place where it can be
readily accessed by other users of the machine.
5.
Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine
out in the open.
6.
Make sure that all the guards are fitted and that
they are in good working order.
7.
The machine should only be operated by
persons who are well informed with the way it
works, and who are in reasonably good physical
condition.
8.
It can be dangerous to mow the grass when it is
wet. Try to ensure that you only mow the grass
when it is dry.
9.
Advise children and others to keep well away
from the lawn mower.
10. Never mow the grass in poor visibility.
11. Remove all loose objects from the lawn before
you start mowing the grass.
7.2 Tips for proper mowing
Important! Never open the chute flap when the
catch bag has been detached (to be emptied) and
the engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between
the user and the mower housing. Be especially
careful when mowing and changing direction on
slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and
wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used
to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
7.3 Mowing
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.
Insodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap
each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid
