Select the cutting height to suit the actual length of
the grass. Make several passes to ensure that you
do not remove more than 4 cm of grass length in any
one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any
inspections of the blade. Remember than the blade
will continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor
has been switched off. Never attempt to stop the
blade. Check regularly that the blade is correctly
secured, in good condition and well ground. If not,
grind or replace the blade. If the moving blade strikes
an object, stop the mower and wait until the blade
has come to a complete standstill. Then check the
condition of the blade and the blade holder. If they
are damaged, they must be replaced.
As soon as you see mown grass on the lawn whilst
you are mowing, the grass bag will need emptying.
Important. Before you remove the grass bag
switch off the motor and wait until the cutting
tool reaches a standstill.
To remove the grass bag, raise the discharge flap
with one hand and remove the grass bag using its
handle with your other hand.
To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close when
you remove the grass back to seal the rear discharge
opening. If any grass residues are caught in the
opening, it is a good idea to pull the mower
backwards around 1 m to make it easier to start the
motor.
Do not remove grass cuttings in the mower casing or
on the cutter by hand or with your feet. Instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or broom.
To ensure that it can collect the grass correctly the
grass bag and in particular the net must be cleaned
from the inside after use.
Only attach the grass bag after switching off the
motor and the cutting tool has reached a standstill.
Raise the discharge flap with one hand and, holding
the grass bag by its handle in your other hand, attach
it from the top.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Pull the battery connector before carrying out any
cleaning work (Fig. 5b/Item F).
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
7.3 Servicing
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts, and
bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
machine in balance.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running water,
particularly with high-pressure water. Ensure that
all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts
etc.) are always tightened so that the machine
can be safely operated at all times.
Frequently check the grass catch assembly for
signs of wear.
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
immediately.
Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
In order to ensure that you enjoy your scarifier
for many years to come, all screwed parts, as
well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned
and lubricated.
Keeping your hand mower in good condition not
only ensures a long lifespan and high
performance, but also enables the machine to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort. For
best results, clean the lawn mower with a brush
or rag. Do not use any solvents or water to
remove dirt.
The cutting components - i.e. the knife cage and
lower knife blade - are subjected to more wear
and tear than any other component of the unit.
Therefore, routinely check the condition of the
