of area that you can cover. If the operating time
of the rechargeable batteries (area coverage)
is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above
measures, you can remedy the problem by using
rechargeable batteries with a larger capacity (Ah).
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 1-
and the amount of growth before mowing again
should be 1- ⁄ " - 2" . If the grass is allowed to
1

grow somewhat longer for whatever reason, do
not make the mistake 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 1- ⁄ " 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
complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Important! Before taking off the grass basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the

basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down
after removing the grass basket and closes off
the rear chute opening. If any grass remains in
the opening, it will be easier to restart the engine
if you pull the mower back approximately 3.2 feet
(1m).
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
⁄ " - 2- ⁄ " In order to ensure that the majority of grass

clippings are picked up, the inside of the grass
basket must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the motor is
switched off and the blade has stopped.
Lift up the chute fl ap with one hand and, holding
the grass basket by its handle with the other
hand, hang in the basket from the top.
7. Cleaning and maintenance
Danger!
Pull the safety plug before carrying out any
cleaning work (Fig. 11).
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 down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
water, particularly with high-pressure water.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
•
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
brush or rag.
7.2 Maintenance
•
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts,
and bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
