grass deposits from it. Deposits make it more difficult to start the mower and
also adversely affect the mowing quality and the grass collection. Switch off
the motor before you carry out any inspections of the blade. Remember that
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
sharp If not, sharpen 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 mounting. If
they are damaged, they must be replaced.
Place the mains lead in loops on the ground near the wall socket. Mow away
from the socket and cable and ensure that the mains lead is always on the
section of lawn that you have already mowed so that you do not run over the
mains lead with the mower. As soon as you see mown grass on the lawn
whilstyou are mowing, the grass collector will need emptying.
Important!
Before you remove the grass collector, switch off the motor and wait until the
blade reaches a standstill.
To remove the grass collector, raise the deflector guard with one hand and
remove the grass collector holding its handle with your other hand.To
maintain safety, the deflector guard will close when you remove the grass
collector to seal the rear discharge opening. If any grass drops onto the
ground, it is a good idea to pull the mower away from the area to make it
easier to re-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
efficient grass collection the grass collector and in particular the soft netting
must be cleaned after use.
Only attach the grass collector when the motor is switched off and the blade
has reached a standstill. Raise the deflector guard with one hand and,
holding the grass collector by its handle in your other hand, position it
squarely onto its support.
