Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. H)
You can set the cutting height between approximately 20 and 70 mm. The cutting height lever
can be engaged in 6 positions.
1. Hold the device by the carry handle.
2. Pull the cutting height lever out of its arrester.
3. Slide the cutting height lever to the desired level. The device lifts or lowers.
4. Engage the cutting height lever properly again.
Preparing for operation
Only use an extension cable if the included cable is insufficient for mowing the entire lawn.
Avoid using more than one extension cable.
1. Check the device, the collecting bag and the blade before connecting the power supply.
2. Set the desired cutting height before connecting the power supply.
3. Check the handle position and correct it if necessary to work comfortably.
4. Lay out the power cable all along the perimeter of your lawn.
1. Secure the power cable on the pull relief.

Turning the motor on and off (Fig. J)
Caution! Blade keeps moving
The motor is activated by means of a safety switch. When you let go of the safety bar, the
motor stops. Only turn on the motor on the grass.
1. Place the device on the grass.
2. Press and hold the button of the safety switch.
3. Pull the safety bar towards the handle.
The motor starts.
4. Let go of the safety switch button and keep the safety bar pressed to the handle as long
as you operate the motor.
Letting go of the safety bar stops the motor. The blade keeps running. Wait until the blade
has stopped before handling the device.
Emptying the collecting bag
The collecting bag has a fill level indicator. The fill level indicator rises when the motor is
running and the collecting bag is empty. Once the collecting bag is full, the fill level indicator
rests again on the collecting bag. Empty the collecting bag.
NOTE:
If cuttings remain on the ground, empty the collecting bag as well.
1. Stop the motor and wait until the blade stands still.
2. Lift the discharge flap until the collecting bag is exposed.
3. Lift the collecting bag off the lawn mower.
Slightly lift the collecting bag to release it.
4. Move the discharge flap properly until the discharge chute is covered again.
Do not
simply let go; the discharge flap may get damaged due to the spring action.
5. Empty the collecting bag completely. Clear cuttings of the fabric as best as possible so
that the expelled air can escape properly.
6. Completely lift the discharge flap.
7. Hang the collecting bag onto the hooks above the discharge chute again.
8. Check whether the collecting bag is properly fitted.
9. Move the discharge flap carefully until the collecting bag is covered again.
