Attaching the connecting cable to the strain relief fitting (Illustration D2 )
ATTENTION
The unit may not be used without the cable relief in order to prevent damages to the switch/plug combination and to
the cable. The cable must be hung in the cable relief on the unit to ensure that it is fixed safely. This prevents the
cable socket from being pulled off the unit. Moreover, the cable aligns itself automatically on the other side when
cornering.
– Form a semi-circular loop in the cable, keep a distance of approx. 80 cm from the connection cable coupling.
– Insert the cable from the bottom into the cable relief and loop it around the fastening post.
– Hold the cable by both ends and pull it firmly into the cable relief.
Starting the motor (Illustration A2 )
Before starting the motor, ensure that the blade shaft is in the lifting position (1) Z2 .
Only start the motor when standing behind the machine. Always place the machine on a level surface where the grass is not
too high (too high grass will impede the starting of the blade shaft and make starting more difficult). Where this is not
possible, starting can be aided by tilting the machine, with the cutters pointing away from the user, but only as far as
absolutely necessary.
– To switch on the motor, first press and hold the red button (1).
– With the other hand, pull the safety grip (2) on the upper handlebar section. The grip must be held in this position during
operation.
– The red button can then be released.
IMPORTANT
If the motor does not start up within 5 seconds of the device being switched on, then
1. Release the control handle again
2. Remove the mains plug!
3. Check the connection lead
4. Check the voltage supply in the house (fuse)
5. Check device for blockage of the cutter blade shaft
6. Have it checked by an authorised workshop.
10 SWITCHING OFF THE MOTOR (Illustration F )
To switch off the motor, release the safety grip (1). The motor will be switched off and the cutters will come to a standstill.
