the ejector opening (Fig. 5d/Item 19) and close
the ejector opening.

6.1 Before mowing
Important information
1. Make sure that you are properly dressed when
mowing. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear; do not
wear sandals or tennis shoes.
2. Inspect the blade. A blade that is bent or
damaged in any other way must be immediately
exchanged for a genuine Einhell replacement
blade.

the open. Use a filling funnel and a measuring
jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
4. Read and follow the instructions in the
operating manual as well as the information
regarding the engine and accessory equipment.
Store the manual in a place where it can be
readily accessed by other users of the machine.

out in the open.
6. Make sure that all the guards are fitted and
that they are in good working order.
