Take out the filter, wash it in warm, soapy water,
rinse it and allow it to dry.

a warranty item.

MAINTENANCE
Store the tool, instruction manual and
accessories in a secure, dry place. You will
then always be able to refer to the relevant
information when required.
In order to take up less space when storing the
mower, loosen both wing knobs (9) and fold the
upper handle (1) over the lower handle (17).
When not in use, keep the cord wrapped
around the cable tidy.
Keep the tool’s air vents accessible when the
cover (13) is raised, unclogged and clean at all
times.
Remove dust and dirt regularly.
Clean inside the mower body and under the
deck. Use a brush or damp rag.
At the end of the season, give the mower
an overall cleaning and a thorough check,
including the blade. Have the blade sharpened
or replaced if necessary.
You can clean out the grass box with a hose or
pressure cleaner provided that you first remove
it from the mower. Replace the grass box when
it is dry.
Do not let water come into contact with the
motor.
Never use chemicals such as petrol or solvents
to clean plastic parts.
Never disassemble the tool or carry out any
repairs.
Always have the mower maintained or repaired
by a competent person at an authorised service
centre.
