6. Operation

Connect the plug (Fig. 1/Item 8) to an extension

cable. It is imperative to secure the extension

cable with the cable grip as shown in Fig. 10.

Caution!

To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,

the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-oﬀ

(Fig. 10/Item A) which must be pressed before the

switching bar (Fig. 10/Item B) can be activated.

The lawn mower switches itself oﬀ when the swit-

ching bar is released. Repeat this process several

times so that you are sure that the machine func-

tions properly. Before you perform any repair or

maintenance work on the equipment, ensure that

the blade is not rotating and that the power supply

is disconnected.

Caution! Never open the chute ﬂ ap when the

grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)

and the motor is still running. A rotating bla-

de can cause serious injuries!

Always carefully fasten the chute ﬂ ap and grass

basket. Switch oﬀ the engine before emptying the

grass basket.

Always ensure that a safe distance (provided

by the length of the long handles) is maintained

between the user and the mower housing. Be

especially careful when mowing and changing

direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid

footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and

long trousers.

Always mow along the incline (not up and down).

For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be

used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15

degrees.

Use special caution when backing up and pulling

the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

Tips for proper mowing

It is recommended that you overlap the mowing

swaths.

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.

This will prevent the grass blades from fraying

and the lawn from turning yellow.

Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.

The swaths should overlap each other by a few

centimeters in order to avoid stripes.

How frequently you should mow your lawn is

determined primarily by the speed at which the

grass grows. In the main growing season (May

- June) you will probably need to mow the lawn

twice a week, otherwise just once a week. The

cutting height should be between 4 - 6cm and the

amount of growth before mowing again should be

4 - 5cm. If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat

longer for whatever reason, do not make the mis-

take of cutting it back to the normal height in one

go. This will harm the lawn. Never cut it back by

more than half the height in one go.

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean

and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only

make it more diﬃ cult to start the mower; they

decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder

for the equipment to bag the grass.

Always mow along inclines (not up and down).

You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping

down by holding a position at an angle upwards.

Select the cutting height according to the length

of the grass. Make several passes so that no

more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.

Switch oﬀ the motor before doing any checks on

the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues

to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has

been switched oﬀ . Never attempt to manually

stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the

blade is securely attached, is in good condition

and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen

the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade

strikes an object, immediately switch oﬀ the lawn

mower and wait for the blade to come to a com-

plete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade

and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are

damaged.

Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in

front of the power outlet. Mow away from the po-

wer outlet and cable, making sure that the power

cable always trails in the mowed grass so that the

lawn mower does not travel over the cable.

As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn

mower, it is time to empty the grass basket. Im-

portant! Before taking oﬀ the grass basket, switch

oﬀ the motor and wait until the blade has come to

a stop.
