Mowing / Cutting the grass
Select a cutting height to suit the actual height of the grass. If necessary, mow
the same section several times so that no more than 4cm is removed at a go.
Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn,
close to the power supply. Work away from that
point. Alter the position of the cable at each turn,
move it to the already cut side.
When mowing, do not make the motor labour to
hard. Otherwise the rotating speed drops too
much, (you will hear that the motor sound
changes). When this occurs stop mowing and
adapt the mowing height to a higher position to
avoid damage to your mower.
NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety
overload switch.
Empty the grass box
To prevent the ejector opening / blade becoming clogged and unnecessary
overloading of the motor , empty the grass box once it is full (fitting / removing:
see above described).
Hours of operation
Observe your national and regional regulations for the protection against noise
which specify hours during which a lawn mower may be operated.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Make sure all fasteners (screws, nuts, etc.) are always fully tightened so that
you can work safely with the mower.
Check the grass box for wear and tear at regular intervals. Replace any worn or
damaged parts.
Regular care of your lawnmower will not only increase its service life but will
also facilitate the meticulous and easy mowing of your lawn. Clean the
lawnmower with brushes or cloths. Do not use any solvents or water to remove
dirt. Always switch off the motor and pull out the power plug before carrying
out any maintenance and cleaning work.
The part most susceptible to wear and tear in the machine is the blade. Check
the condition of the blade and its fastener at regular intervals. If the blade is
worn, it must be replaced or sharpened. If the mower vibrates excessively, this
means that the blade is either not balanced correctly or has been bent out of
shape by knocks, in which case it must be repaired or replaced.
