Working with the Lawnmower
Regular mowing encourages increased
foliation of the grass and kills off weeds at
the same time. Therefore, not only does
each mowing increase the density of the
lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient
lawn.
The first cut is to be made in around April,
at a growth height of 70 – 80 mm. In the
main vegetation period, the lawn is to be
mowed at least once a week.
• The two handles ( 10) make it
easier to carry the appliance.
• Start mowing near the socket and
work away from the socket.
• Always keep the extension cable be-
hind you and when you turn, move it to
the side that has already been mowed.
• Run the equipment at a walking pace,
in tracks that are as even as possi-
ble. For gap-free mowing, the tracks
should always overlap by a few centi-
metres.
• Adjust the cut height so the equipment
is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo-
tor may be damaged.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope. Take particular care when go-
ing backwards and pulling the equip-
ment.
• Clean the equipment after each use,
as described in the chapter on “Clean-
ing, Maintenance and Storage”.
Switch off the equipment after
work and in order to transport it,
disconnect the plug and wait until
the blade stops. There is a risk of
injury.
Cleaning, Maintenance
and Storage
Have work that is not described in
these instructions carried out by
a customer service centre that we
have authorised. Use only origi-
nal parts.
Wear gloves when handling the
blade.
Switch off the equipment before all
maintenance and cleaning work,
disconnect the plug and wait until
the blade stops.
There is a risk of injury.
General Cleaning and Mainte-
nance Work
Do not hose down the lawnmow-
er with water. Risk of electric
shock!
• Always keep the equipment clean. To
clean, use a brush or cloth but no de-
tergent or solvent.
• After mowing, use a piece of wood
or plastic to remove adherent plant
remains from the wheels, ventilation
holes, ejection hole and blade area.
Do not use hard or pointed objects, as
these may damage the blade.
• Oil the wheels from time to time.
• Before each use, check the lawnmow-
er for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check that
all nuts, bolts and screws are sitting
firmly.
• Check the covers and protective de-
vices for damage and check that they
are sitting correctly. Replace them if
necessary.
