INSTALLATION
Mounting the bottom part of the handle on the lawn mower (Fig. C)
1. Slide the pull relief onto the bottom part of the handle.
2. Slide the connecting pieces onto the bottom part of the handle. The locking washers of
the connecting pieces must point inwards.
3. Place the bottom part of the handle on the handle mount. Check whether the serrations
of the locking washer engage correctly in the handle mount. The holes of the handle
mount, the connecting pieces and the bottom part of the handle must point towards
each other.
4. Twist the quick-release levers all the way into the handle mount. Do not use excessive
force; it is sufcient to twist in the quick-release lever until you feel a resistance.
5. Flick the quick-release lever. If it is too tight, turn the quick-release lever one turn
backwards.
The bottom part of the handle is connected to the lawn mower and does not wobble.
Mounting the handle grip on the bottom part of the handle (Fig. D)
1. Position the pull relief on the crossbar of the handle bottom part.
2. Place the handle grip onto the bottom part of the handle. The connection cable must not
lay between the handle parts and should run beneath the handle instead.
3. Align the holes of the handle parts with each other and push the screws from the inside
through the handle.
4. Put the washers onto the screw and turn the quick-release levers approximately 5 to 7
turns.
5. Align the handle grip straight on the bottom part of the handle and keep it in position.
6. Align the screw heads. The screw heads are bent and latch into the handle bar.
7. Flick the quick-release levers. If it is too tight, turn the quick-release lever one turn
backwards.
8. Check whether the handle grip is aligned and connected to the bottom part of the handle
without wobbling.
9. Attach the connection cable with two cable clamps onto the handle frame. (Fig. E)
The connection cable must run beneath the crossbar of the bottom part of the handle.
Attach the grass bag
1. Attach the grass bag to the frame by xing the plastic hooks onto the side
.
(Fig. F)
2. Lift the safety ap with one hand and hook in the grass bag. Release the ejector ap to
secure the grass bag in position. (Fig. G)
OPERATION
Rules of operation
The following rules must be observed at all times when working on and with the lawn mower.
- Do not adjust the device or rectify faults when it stands still. Make sure that the device
cannot start up.
- Only lift the device on the grip and handle. Never reach underneath the device to lift it.
- Let the blade run to a stop before touching the device or the collecting bag again.
- Never reach beneath the discharge ap or into the discharge chute.
- Stop the motor immediately if you notice unusual mowing sounds or vibrations. Check
and rectify cause of the fault before resuming mowing.
- Never put a damaged device into operation. Any damage to the blade and the device
must be repaired by the manufacturer's customer service or qualied personnel.
- Mow diagonally to inclinations.
Note the following when mowing and mulching
The following instructions help you use the device effectively and safely. Improper handling of
the device can cause damage to it.
- The device can be operated with or without collecting bag. You should only operate the
device without the collecting bag (mulching) when trimming the lawn just a little shorter
(max. 2 cm). Always keep the discharge ap closed when mulching.
- Mow slowly and try not to use the entire cutting width to cut the grass evenly at high
rotation speed. A high cutting load reduces the blade’s rotation speed.
- Remove any branches, pegs, stones, strings and mounds (molehills) before mowing to
safeguard the device.
- Always mow in the direction facing away from the power supply and the power cable.
- Always push the device forward; pulling the device might damage the power cable.
Adjusting the handle position
The handle can be adjusted to a comfortable working height. Adjust the handle to your
individual working height before working with the device.
1. Undo the two quick-release levers on the handle mount.
2. Set the handle to the desired height.
3. Check whether the serrations of the locking washer engage correctly in the handle
mount.
4. Flick the quick-release levers.
18 19
OPERATION OPERATION
Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. H)
You can set the cutting height between approximately 20 and 70 mm. The cutting height lever
can be engaged in 6 positions.
1. Hold the device by the carry handle.
2. Pull the cutting height lever out of its arrester.
3. Slide the cutting height lever to the desired level. The device lifts or lowers.
4. Engage the cutting height lever properly again.
Preparing for operation
Only use an extension cable if the included cable is insufcient for mowing the entire lawn.
Avoid using more than one extension cable.
1. Check the device, the collecting bag and the blade before connecting the power supply.
2. Set the desired cutting height before connecting the power supply.
3. Check the handle position and correct it if necessary to work comfortably.
4. Lay out the power cable all along the perimeter of your lawn.
1. Secure the power cable on the pull relief. (Fig. I)
2. Plug the power cable plug into a properly installed socket.
Turning the motor on and off (Fig. J)
Caution! Blade keeps moving
The motor is activated by means of a safety switch. When you let go of the safety bar, the
motor stops. Only turn on the motor on the grass.
1. Place the device on the grass.
2. Press and hold the button of the safety switch.
3. Pull the safety bar towards the handle.
The motor starts.
4. Let go of the safety switch button and keep the safety bar pressed to the handle as long
as you operate the motor.
Letting go of the safety bar stops the motor. The blade keeps running. Wait until the blade
has stopped before handling the device.
Emptying the collecting bag
The collecting bag has a ll level indicator. The ll level indicator rises when the motor is
running and the collecting bag is empty. Once the collecting bag is full, the ll level indicator
rests again on the collecting bag. Empty the collecting bag.
NOTE: If cuttings remain on the ground, empty the collecting bag as well.
1. Stop the motor and wait until the blade stands still.
2. Lift the discharge ap until the collecting bag is exposed.
3. Lift the collecting bag off the lawn mower.
Slightly lift the collecting bag to release it.
4. Move the discharge ap properly until the discharge chute is covered again.
Do not
simply let go; the discharge ap may get damaged due to the spring action.
5. Empty the collecting bag completely. Clear cuttings of the fabric as best as possible so
that the expelled air can escape properly.
6. Completely lift the discharge ap.
7. Hang the collecting bag onto the hooks above the discharge chute again.
8. Check whether the collecting bag is properly tted.
9. Move the discharge ap carefully until the collecting bag is covered again.
