2. To relieve the strain, form a loop
with the end of the power cable
and hang this into the strain reli-

Working with the
Lawnmower
Regular mowing encourages increased foli-
ation of the grass and kills off weeds at the
same time. Therefore, not only does each
mowing increase the density of the lawn, it
also produces an evenly resilient lawn.
The first cut is to be made in around April,
at a growth height of 70 – 80 mm. In the
main vegetation period, the lawn is to be
mowed at least once a week.
• Start mowing near the socket and work
away from the socket.
• Always keep the extension cable be-
hind you and when you turn, move it to
the side that has already been mowed.
• Run the equipment at a walking pace,
in tracks that are as even as possible.
For gap-free mowing, the tracks should
always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Adjust the cut height so the equipment
is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo-
tor may be damaged.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope. Take particular care when going
backwards and pulling the equipment.
• Clean the equipment after each use, as
described in the chapter on “Cleaning,
Maintenance and Storage”.
Switch off the equipment after
work and in order to transport it,
disconnect the plug and wait until
the blade stops. There is a risk of
injury.
