Stop and remove plug from the power sup-
ply.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out
the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as a loose,
dislodged or damaged blade, loose fixings, and
worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or
repairs before using.
If the mower should happen to fail despite the care
taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be
carried out by an authorised customer service agent
for Bosch garden products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al-
ways include the 10-digit part number from the
nameplate of the machine!
See “Height of Cut Adjustment”.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a
soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially
from the air filter as in figure G.
Turn the machine on its right side and clean the
blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the
blade area, remove with a wooden or plastic imple-
ment such as the plastic spanner/scraper provided.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage loosen the wing nuts 8 and fold the
handles.
☞
Ensure cables are not trapped when folding/
unfolding top handles, do not drop the han-
dles.
The following table gives checks and actions that you can perform if your machine does not operate correctly.
