7.1 Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines.
Only mow with sharp, perfect blades so that the
blades of grass do not fray, making the lawn turn
yellow.
To achieve a good cut, guide the lawn mower in lines
that are as straight as possible.
These lines should always overlap by a few
centimeters so that you do not leave any strips.
How often you should mow the lawn depends on
how fast the lawn grows. During the main growth
period (May – June), mow it twice a week, and once
a week at other times. The cutting height should be
between 4 and 6 cm and the growth before the next
cut should be between 4 and 5 cm. If the lawn grows
longer than this on occasion, do not make the
mistake of cutting to normal length straight away
since this will damage the lawn. Never cut the grass
by more than half its height. Keep the underside of
the mower casing clean and remove all grass
deposits from it. Deposits make it more difficult to
start the mower and also adversely affect the
mowing quality and the grass discharge. On slopes
mow across the slope (not in up or down direction).
You can counteract the tendency of the mower to
slide down the slope by setting it at an angle
upwards. Select the cutting height to suit the actual
length of the grass. Make several passes to ensure
that you do not remove more than 4 cm of grass
length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any
inspections of the blade. Remember than the blade
will continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor
has been switched off. Never attempt to stop the
blade.
Check regularly that the blade is correctly secured, in
good condition and well ground. If not, grind or
replace the blade. If the moving blade strikes an
object, stop the mower and wait until the blade has
come to a complete standstill. Then check the
condition of the blade and the blade holder. If they
are damaged, they must be replaced.
Place the mains lead in loops on the ground in front
of the socket. Mow away from the socket and cable
and ensure that the mains lead is always on the
section of lawn that you have already mowed so that
you do not run over the mains lead with the mower.
As soon as you see mown grass on the lawn whilst
you are mowing, the grass bag will need emptying.
Important!
Before you remove the grass bag switch off the
motor and wait until the cutting tool reaches a
standstill.
To remove the grass bag, raise the discharge flap
with one hand and remove the grass bag using its
handle with your other hand.
To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close when
you remove the grass back to seal the rear discharge
opening. If any grass residues are caught in the
opening, it is a good idea to pull the mower
backwards around 1 m to make it easier to start the
motor.
Do not remove grass cuttings in the mower casing or
on the cutter by hand or with your feet. Instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
To ensure that it can collect the grass correctly the
grass bag and in particular the net must be cleaned
from the inside after use.
Only attach the grass bag after switching off the
motor and the cutting tool has reached a standstill.
Raise the discharge flap with one hand and, holding
the grass bag by its handle in your other hand, attach
it from the top.
8. 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.
9. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
9.1 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.
9.2 Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade
replaced by an authorized professional.
Important.
Wear work gloves!
