and the engine is still running. A rotating bla-
de can cause serious injuries!
Always fasten the ejector
fl
ap carefully. Before you
remove them, switch o
ff
the motor and pull out the
safety plug (12)
fi
rst.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be
used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Instructions for good mulching results
•
It is recommended that you overlap the mo-
wing swaths.
•
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condi-
tion. This will prevent the grass blades from
fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.
•
Cut off only a small part of the grass height,
but cut in frequent intervals.
•
The side ejector must not be used when
you want to mow less than 2cm of the grass
height in one pass.
•
Use the side ejector when you want to mow
more than 2cm of the grass height in one
pass.
•
In the case of higher grass use a lower
pushing speed and mow to the desired height
in several passes.
•
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean
look. The swaths should overlap each other
by a few centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows. In the main growing season (May
- June) you will probably need to mow the lawn
twice a week, otherwise just once a week. The
cutting height should be between 4 - 6 cm and the
amount of growth before mowing again should
be 4 - 5 cm. Normal grass which has grown to a
height of up to 8cm can be mown to the desired
height in one go without any problems. If the
grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer for
whatever reason, do not make the mistake of
cutting it back to the normal height in one go. This
will harm the lawn. For grass which has grown to
over 10 cm in height we therefore recommend
that you mow it with the highest cutting height
setting
fi
rst.
Important!
The cutting height setting has an in
fl
uence on the
maximum area that can be mown.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more di
ffi
cult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. Make several passes so that no
more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.
Switch o
ff
the motor, pull the safety plug (12)
and remove the batteries (15) before doing any
checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the bla-
de continues to rotate for a few seconds after
the motor has been switched o
ff
. Never attempt
to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to
see if the blade is securely attached, is in good
condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case,
sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that
the blade strikes an object, immediately switch
o
ff
the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of
the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Hazard!
Pull out the safety plug and remove all the battery
packs (15) before starting any cleaning work (Fig.
9/Item 12).
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
