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.
Check regularly that the blade is correctly secured, in good condition and well ground. If not,
grind or replace the blade. If the moving blade strikes an object, stop the mower and wait until
the blade has come to a complete standstill. Then check the condition of the blade and the
blade holder. If they are damaged, they must be replaced.
Place the mains lead in loops on the ground in front of the socket. Mow away from the socket
and cable and ensure that the mains lead is always on the section of lawn that you have
already mowed so that you do not run over the mains lead with the mower. As soon as you
see mown grass on the lawn whilst you are mowing, the grass bag will need emptying.
9.6 Grass bag
Important! Before you remove the grass bag switch off the motor and wait
until the cutting tool reaches a standstill.
To remove the grass bag, raise the discharge flap with one hand and remove the grass bag
using its handle with your other hand.
To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close when you remove the grass bag to seal the
rear discharge opening. If any grass residues are caught in the opening, it is a good idea to
pull the mower backwards around 1 m to make it easier to start the motor.
Do not remove grass cuttings in the mower casing or on the cutter by hand or with your feet.
Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that it can collect the grass
correctly the grass bag and in particular the net must be cleaned from the inside after use.
Only attach the grass bag after switching off the motor and the cutting blade has reached a
standstill.
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention! Before performing any work on the equipment, pull out the power

10.1 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 with compressed air at low
pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using
it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no
water can seep into the device.
