OPERATION

DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut injury when the product starts accidentally.
→ Wait for the blade to stop, disconnect the product from the mains, and use gloves before you adjust or transport the product.

To connect the mower [ Fig. O1 / O2 ]:
DANGER! Electric shock!
To avoid damage to the extension cable (11), the extension cable (11) must be inserted into the cable lock (L).
→ Before you operate insert the extension cable (11) into the cable lock (L).

  1. Connect the female extension cable (11) connector to the back of the switchbox (12).
  2. Form a loop in the extension cable (11), insert the loop into the cable lock (L) slot in the switchbox (12), and pull tight.
  3. Connect the extension cable (11) into a 230 V mains socket.

To adjust the cutting height [ Fig. O3 / O4 / O5 ]:
CAUTION! Do not use more than 3 cutting height spacers (13). The cutting height spacers (13) must only be fitted between the blade (14) and the fan (15). Do not fit the cutting height spacers (13) between the blade (14) and the blade bolt (16).

  1. To remove the blade bolt (16), hold the fan (15) firmly and loosen the blade bolt (16) with the spanner (17) provided.

  2. Remove the blade bolt (16), the blade (14), the cutting height spacers (13), and the fan (15).

  3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.

  4. Put the fan (15) on the product.
    Make sure that the fan (15) is fully in place and the hole of the fan is in line up with the threaded hole.

  5. Put the cutting height spacers (13) onto the fan (15).
    Higher Cut – less cutting height spacers Lower Cut – more cutting height spacers Make sure that the pegs have located into the holes.

  6. Put the blade (14) on by aligning the D-shaped holes onto the cutting height spacers (13).
    Make sure that the pegs have located into the holes on the blade.

  7. Put the blade bolt (16) through the center hole of the blade (14).

  8. Tighten down the blade bolt (16) clockwise by hand.

  9. Hold the fan (15) firmly and tighten the blade bolt (16) with the spanner (17) provided.

Operation position:
Adjustment is not required to move the handle to the operating position.
Simply pull down from the forward position or lift up from the down position until the handle is in the most comfortable operating position.

To start the mower [ Fig. O6 / O7 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Risk of injury if the product does not stop when you release the start levers.
→ Do not bypass the safety devices or switches. For example, do not attach the start levers to the handle.

To start:
The product is provided with a two-handed safety device (start lever (18) and safety lock-off button (5)) to prevent the product from being turned on by accident.
There are two start levers (18) fitted. Either one has to be used to start.

  1. Push the safety lock-off button (5) with one hand and pull the start lever (18) with the other hand.
    The mower starts.

  2. Release the safety lock-off button (5).
    To prevent a ring from being cut in the lawn and to clear any residual grass, tilt the mower slightly. When the lawnmower has reached full speed gently lower it onto the lawn.

To stop:
→  Release the start lever (18).
The mower stops.

To empty the grass box [ Fig. O8 / O9 ]:
DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Cut injury when the blade turns or the product starts accidentally.
→ Wait for the blade to stop, disconnect the product from the mains and use gloves before you put /remove the grass box.

Models with a transparent window (23) in the lid show the filling level of the grass box (22). This should be cleaned after every lawn mowing.

  1. Push in the lid (21) where indicated and open the lid (21).
  2. Remove the grass box (22) by the molded handle recesses at the front and rear of the grass box (22).
  3. Empty the grass box (22).
  4. Replace the grass box (22). Make sure that it locates securely onto the deck fixing locations.
  5. Close the lid (21).
    Failure to fit the grass box (22) and the grass box lid (21) correctly can cause a poor collection of grass clippings.

Tips to use the mower [ Fig. O10 / O11 ]:
Mow twice a week during the growing season. The lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in the poor collection.
For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise direction first.
Start to mow the edge of the lawn nearest to the PowerPoint. So the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.
For best grass collection always mow in a straight line. Do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.
For the best cutting results mow in straight lines with an overlap of approximately 8 – 10 cm on each pass with the mower.
Do not overload the mower. To mow long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop and you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload the mower which may cause damage. When you mow in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See To adjust the cutting height.
