6.3 Setting the cutting heights
Important!
Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is
switched off and the power cable has been
disconnected.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the
blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are
damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt
and/or damaged blades. To carry out this check, first
switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as shown in Figs. 6a
and 6b. To do this turn the hub cap clockwise to
release the axle (Fig. 6a) and remove the hub cap
with the screw and tire. The tires can now be fitted in
position 1, 2 or 3 to suit the required cutting height. Fit
all four tires at the same height so that the cutting
blade runs parallel to the lawn.

7. Operation
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data. Connect the plug (Fig.
1/Item 6) to an extension cable. It is imperative to
secure the extension cable with the cable grip as
shown in Figure 5a.
Important!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-off
(Fig. 5b/Item A) which must be pressed before the
switching bar (Fig. 5b/Item B) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switch is
released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work
on the machine, ensure that the blade is not rotating
and that the power supply is disconnected.
Repeat this process several times so that you are

Important!
Never open the discharge flap if the grass box is
being emptied and the motor is still running. The
rotating blade can cause serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag
carefully. Always switch off the motor before you
remove these items.
The safety distance between the blade casing and
the user provided by the guide struts must be
maintained at all times. Take special care when
mowing and changing direction on embankments
and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure surface
to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles that offer
good grip, and long trousers. Always mow across the
slope (not in up or down direction).
Do not use the mower on gradients exceeding 15°
for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and
pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling.
7.1 Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines.
Only mow with sharp, perfect blades so that the
blades of grass do not fray, making the lawn turn
yellow.
To achieve a good cut, guide the lawn mower in lines
that are as straight as possible.
These lines should always overlap by a few
centimeters so that you do not leave any strips.
How often you should mow the lawn depends on
how fast the lawn grows. During the main growth
period (May – June), mow it twice a week, and once
a week at other times. The cutting height should be
between 4 and 6 cm and the growth before the next
cut should be between 4 and 5 cm. If the lawn grows
longer than this on occasion, do not make the
mistake of cutting to normal length straight away
since this will damage the lawn. Never cut the grass
by more than half its height. Keep the underside of
the mower casing clean and remove all grass
deposits from it. Deposits make it more difficult to
start the mower and also adversely affect the
mowing quality and the grass discharge. On slopes
mow across the slope (not in up or down direction).
You can counteract the tendency of the mower to
slide down the slope by setting it at an angle
upwards. Select the cutting height to suit the actual
length of the grass. Make several passes to ensure
that you do not remove more than 4 cm of grass
length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any
inspections of the blade. Remember than the blade
will continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor
has been switched off. Never attempt to stop the
blade.
