Blade Maintenance (continued)

Carbon Brushes

Maintenance and Storage

Maintenance

If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened in a specialised workshop. If the blade is damaged or 
showing signs of imbalance, it must be replaced.

IMPORTANT

!

 

Always switch the product off, disconnect it from power supply and let the product cool 

down before performing inspection, maintenance and cleaning work!

Only replace the blade with a genuine replacement blade as this will ensure top performance and 
safety under all conditions.

Carry out the following steps to change the blade:

• 

Turn the mower over.

• 

Hold the blade firmly. Undo the fastening screw.

• 

Remove the blade and sharpen, or replace it with a new one.

• 

When fitting the blade, make sure it is installed the right way up. The blade’s wings should be 
angled upwards (towards the mower).

• 

Retighten the fastening bolt. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician. 
Important! Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified electrician.

• 

There are no parts inside the mower which require additional maintenance.

• 

Store in a dry place, out of reach of children.
