3. Proper operation

The petrol lawn mower is intended for private use 
i.e. for use in home and gardening environments.
Private use of the lawn mower refers an annual 
operating time generally not exceeding that of 
50 hours, during which time the machine is 
primarily used to maintain small-scale, residential 
lawns and home/hobby gardens. Public facilities, 
sporting halls, and agricultural/forestry applications 
are excluded.

Please note that our equipment has not  
been designed for use in commercial, trade 
or industrial applications. Our warranty will  
be voided  if the machine is used in 
commercial, trade or industrial businesses  
or for equivalent purposes.

The operating instructions as supplied by the 
manufacturer must be kept and referred to in 
order to ensure that the lawn mower is properly 
used and maintained. The instructions contain 
valuable information on operating, maintenance 
and servicing conditions.

Important!

 Due to the high risk of bodily injury to 

the user, the lawn mower may not be used to trim 
bushes, hedges or shrubs, to cut scaling 
vegetation, planted roofs, or balcony-grown 
grass, to clean (suck up) dirt and debris off 
walkways, or to chop up tree or hedge clippings. 
Moreover, the lawn mower may not be used as a 
power cultivator to level out high areas such as 
molehills.
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be 
used as a drive unit for other work tools or toolkits 
of any kind.

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Assembling the components

Some parts of the lawnmower need to be 
assembled. For quick and easy assembly, read 
and follow the instructions below.

Important!

 You will need the following additional 

tools (not supplied) for assembly, and also for 
maintenance work:
 

 • 

  A flat oil drip tray (for changing the oil)

 • 

  A 1 litre measuring jug (oil/petrol resistant)

 • 

  A petrol can

 • 

  A funnel (suitable for the tank’s petrol filler neck)

 • 

  Household wipes (to wipe up oil/petrol residue; 
dispose of these at a filling station)

 • 

 A petrol suction pump (plastic, available from 
Einhell UK Ltd - call 0151 649 1500 
(IRE 189 094 6244))

 • 

 An oil can with hand pump (available from DIY 
stores)

Assembly

1. Take the mower and attachment parts out 
of the packaging and check that all parts are 
present (Fig. 2).
2. Affix the lower push bar (Fig. 3a/Item 5) to 
the mower housing and set the desired 
working height. 3 different working heights are 
available. Each peg on the lower push bar 
can be inserted into a hole situated directly 
opposite to it, on the mower housing, for 
example A-A (Fig. 3). The lower push bar must 
be equally adjusted on both sides. Now affix 
the cover (Fig. 3a/Item 22) and attach the 
push bar (5) using the square head screws (14) 
and the star knobs (17) as shown in Figure 3a.
3. Fasten the top push bar to the bottom push 
bar using a lever cam screw (Fig. 3b/Item 15) 
and a star knob (Fig. 3b/Item 17) on each 
side. Make sure that the lobes of the lever 
cam screws are folded towards the inside so 
that the high speed clamping function 
remains operational.
4. Insert the grip of the starter cord (Fig. 3c/
Item 4) into the hook provided for that purpose 
as shown in Figure 3c.
5. Fasten the cords to the push bar with the 
supplied cable ties (Fig. 3d/Item. 12).
6. Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4 / Item 7) with one 
hand and hook in the grass bag as shown in 
Figure 4.

5.2 Setting the cutting height
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when 
the engine is switched off and the plug boot 
has been pulled.

- Before you begin to mow, check to ensure 
that the blade is not blunt and that none of 
the fasteners are damaged. To prevent any 
imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged 
blades as a set only (if applicable). To carry 
out this check, first switch off the engine and 
pull the spark plug boot.
- The cutting height is centrally adjusted with 
the cutting height adjustor lever (Fig. 7/Item 8). 
Up to 5 different cutting heights can be 
selected.
