tools with new parts to ensure
the lawnmower is properly
balanced (see Maintenance,
Care and Storage).
Only mow your lawn in daylight
or when your lawn is lit by ample
artificial lighting. If possible,
avoid using the lawnmower when
the grass is wet. Always ensure
you have a sturdy stance when
working on slopes and inclines.
Push the lawnmower at walking
pace. Be particularly careful when
turning the lawnmower or pulling it
towards you. Always stop the cut-
ting tool before tilting the lawn-
mower to move it over a surface
other than grass and when moving
the lawnmower to and from the
area of lawn you are planning to
mow.
Never use the lawnmower if the
safety devices or protective grilles
are damaged, or if the installed
safety devices, e.g. baffle plates
and/or grass catching devices
have been removed.
A
Warning! Do not remove
or bridge the safety devices
installed by the manufacturer.
This will prevent the lawnmower
switching off automatically and
may cause serious injury.
Keep your hands and feet away
from the internal housing and grass
ejection chute when the motor is
running.
Always wear sturdy shoes and
long trousers when mowing.
Never mow your lawn when bare-
foot or when wearing only light-
weight sandals.
Adjusting the cutting height
The cutting height can be adjusted
in seven stages using the stopping
lever (fig. G pos. 6). To adjust
the cutting height, disengage the
stopping lever by pulling it, move
the stopping lever to the required
position and allow it to engage.
Cutting height
Stage 1 = 1,6 cm
this position is only for
ornamental lawns and
especially level surfaces.
Stage 2 = 2,5 cm
Stage 3 = 3 cm
Stage 4 = 4 cm
Stage 5 = 5 cm
Stage 6 = 6 cm
Stage 7 = 7 cm
Note:
in order to move the stopping lever
to an higher stage more easily,
slightly lift the appliance up using
the housing handle (fig. G pos. 4).
A
Warning! Switch off the
motor before adjusting the
cutting height. When setting the
lawnmower to a lower cutting
height, ensure that the blades of
the cutting tool do not touch the
ground if the ground is uneven.
Attaching the extension cable
Push the socket of the extension
cable onto the plug (fig. C /D /E
pos. 12) of the starter switch and
then loop the extension cable
through the cable lock (fig. F
pos. 7) so that the extension cable
is a slightly slack near the plug.
The cable lock prevents the
plug-in connection from becoming
accidentally unplugged.
Always unroll the spare cable
completely and coil the cable
loosely on the ground.
Push the extension cable plug into
the appropriate socket.
The mains socket must be fused at
a minimum of 16 A.
For your safety, use a residual-cur-
rent operated circuit breaker with
a nominal fault current ≤ 30 mA.
When mowing, always guide
the extension cable on the side of
the lawnmower closest to the grass
you have already mowed.
A
Warning! Do not feed the
extension cable around or
underneath doors or through open
windows! Always hold the plug
and/or the coupling housing when
unplugging the extension cable
from the socket. Do not pull on the
cable.
Starting the lawnmower
Carefully start the motor or press
the starter switch according to
the instructions provided by the
manufacturer. Keep your feet away
from the cutting tool. Stand the
lawnmower on an even surface.
Check the terrain where you will
be using your lawnmower and
remove all obstacles and objects,
which could get caught and then
ejected.
If the cutting tool is blocked by
a foreign body or the motor is
overloaded, release both of the
safety hoops (fig. C pos. 11) the
safety hoop (fig. D/E pos. 11);
the motor is automatically switched
off. If necessary, remove the
foreign body.
A
Warning! Do not tilt the
lawnmower when starting
the motor. If you do need to tilt the
lawnmower for some reason while
starting the motor, in this case,
press down gently on the guide
handle and tilt the mower. Only tilt
the mower as far as is absolutely
necessary and only lift the front
edge of the mower (the edge that is
furthest away from you).
To start, press the start button
(fig. C/D/E pos. 10 ) and press
one of the safety hoops (fig. C
pos. 11) the safety hoop
(fig. D/E pos. 11) with the other
hand. After the motor has started
up, release the start button
(fig. C/D/E pos. 10).
A
Warning! A frequent over-
loading of the motor (the
rotational speed is audibly reduced
during working) results in damage
being caused to the motor coil.
Stopping the Motor
To turn the motor off, release the
safety hoops (fig. C pos. 11) the
safety hoop (fig. D/E pos. 11).
The integrated brake ensures that
the cutting tool comes to a halt
within a period of 3 seconds.
A
Warning! The cutting tool
continues to move for a
short time after you switch off the
motor!
