Only purchase power cables that are marked as
such! Plugs and socket couplers for the power
cables must be made from rubber and be splash-
proof. There is a limit to how long power cables
can be. Longer power cables require larger con-
ductor cross-sections. Power cables and connec-
ting lines must be regularly checked for damage.
Ensure that the lines are de-energized before
checking them. Completely unwind the power
cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs
and socket couplers for kinks.
6. Operation
1/Item 7) and secure the power cable with the
cable stress-relief clip (Fig. 7). Use the fasteners
(cable holders) for the power cable.
Caution!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch
(Fig. 7/Item 1) which must be pressed before the
ON switch (Fig. 7/Item 2) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switch is
released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before
you perform any repair or maintenance work on
the machine, ensure that the blade is not rotating
and that the power supply is disconnected.
Warning! Never open the discharge fl ap if the
grass box is being emptied and the motor is
still running. The rotating blade can cause
serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge fl ap and grass bag
carefully. Always switch off the motor before you
remove these items.
The safety distance between the blade casing
and the user provided by the guide struts must be
maintained at all times. Take special care when
mowing and changing direction on embankments
and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure sur-
face to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles
that off er good grip, and long trousers.
Always mow across the slope (not in up or down
direction). Do not use the mower on gradients
exceeding 15° for safety reasons.

Take special care when moving backwards and
pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling.
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.
