Maintenance
Stop, remove plug from the power supply
and remove the grassbox.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out
the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged blade, loose fixings, and
worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or
repairs before using.
If the mower should happen to fail despite the care
taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be
carried out by an authorised customer service agent
for Bosch garden products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al-
ways include the 10-digit part number (TYP) from
the nameplate of the machine!

Adjusting the Blade

Stop, remove plug from the power supply
and remove the grassbox.
The cutting cylinder should be adjusted if the grass
is not cut cleanly and evenly.
Turn the machine upside down.
Using a screwdriver turn both the adjuster screws 15
clockwise a little at a time until the cutting cylinder 16
lightly brushes the bottom blade 17.
Note: The blades act like a pair of shears.
After Mowing/Storage
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a
soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially
from the ventilation slots 9.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade
area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade
area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place
