• Always move across slopes crosswise.
Take special care when going back-
wards and pulling the device.
• Clean the device after each use, as de-
scribed in the section “Cleaning/storage".
After switching off the equip-
ment, the blade continues to
turn for several seconds. Do
not touch the moving blade.
There is a risk of injury.
Difference between moving
and mulching lawns
When using the mulch kit (18), the grass
clippings are not captured in a collection
box but are instead shredded and spread
across the lawn. The nutrients contained
in the clippings are thus left to be broken
down by soil organisms and form a nu-
trient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore need
to be fertilised much less frequently.
As a basic rule, the lawn has to be mowed
relatively often so that only small amounts
of mulch remain on the lawn.
It is therefore best to mulch the lawn at
least once a week and to adjust the mower
so that only about 40% of the total height
of the lawn is left as mulch. If the mulch
remains visible on the lawn (for example
when cutting the lawn for the first time
of the year or during strong growth), the
grass collection box (13) should be used.
Cleaning/maintenance
Have any work that is not
described in these operating
instructions performed by an
authorised customer service
centre. Only use original parts.
Wear gloves when handling the
blade.
Switch off the apparatus, remove the
ignition key ( 10) and wait for the
blades to come to a standstill.
General cleaning and
maintenance work
Never spray down the device
with water. There is a risk of
electric shock.
• Always keep the device clean. Use a
brush or cloth for cleaning, but do not
use any cleaning agents or solvents.
• After mowing, remove any plant re-
mains that have become stuck to the
wheels, ventilation opening, ejector
opening and blade area using a piece
of wood or plastic. Do not use any
hard or sharp objects as these could
damage the device.
• Check the device before each use for
obvious defects such as loose, worn or
damaged parts. Ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screws are firmly in place.
• Check the covers and protective devic-
es for damage and correct fit. Replace
these if necessary.
Replacing blades
If the blade is blunt, it can be re-sharpened
by a specialist company. If the blade is dam-
aged or unbalanced, it must be replaced.
1. Turn the machine over.
2. Use firm gloves and keep hold of the
blade (23). Use a spanner (SW14) to
turn the blade bolt (24) counter-clock-
wise from the motor spindle (25).
