8. Information concerning correct mowing
General Information about
Lawn Care
We recommend mowing your
lawn every week if possible to
keep your lawn looking its best.
Mowing your lawn regularly
strengthens the individual blades
of grass and makes your lawn
more resistant.
Short grass cuttings (up to around
1 cm in length) can be left on
the lawn after mowing. Longer
cuttings should be removed
so that the lawn does not turn
yellow and become matted.
Cut your lawn for the first time in
the spring as soon as the grass
begins to grow and you can walk
on the lawn. If the grass has
already grown too tall, first mow
in one direction with a high cut-
ting height then mow at right
angles to the first cut with the
required shorter cutting height.
Mowing
Only mow with sharp, unworn
blades so that the blades of
grass are not frayed and the
lawn does not turn yellow.
The cutting height should always
be at least 3 – 4 cm since the
lower part of the grass blade is
absolutely necessary and only
lift the front edge of the mower
(the edge that is furthest away
from you).
Stopping the Motor
You can stop the engine by
releasing the safety handle
(fig. A, pos. 10). An integrated
brake stops the cutting tool
rotating within 3 seconds.
white. If you cut the grass too
short, the lawn will no longer
appear lush and green.
The blades of grass will also dry
out too quickly above all in the
summer.
If you mow your lawn using
stage 1 (this position is only for
ornamental lawns and especially
level surfaces), you should water
the lawn well after mowing as it
is otherwise possible that the
lawn will dry out and turn yellow.
The dual channel air system with
the effective cutting technology
collects grass and sucks in an air
stream even with the deepest
lawn cutting height .
To achieve a clean cut, always
guide your lawnmower at an
appropriate speed in straight cut-
ting paths. The paths should
always overlap by a few centi-
metres so that you do not miss
strips of lawn.
Never lift or carry the lawn-
mower when the motor is running.
If you make contact with a for-
eign body, switch the engine off
and disconnect the spark plug
connector. Inspect the lawn-
mower for signs of damage and
before restarting the lawnmower
Warning! The cutting tool

continues to move for
a short time after you switch off
the motor!
Warning! If the appliance

is in the parking position
(fig. H), the tank cap valve
(fig. J, pos. 18) must be closed.
For safety reasons, the tank is
only to be 50 % full when stored
outside confined spaces. The
tank must be completely empty
when stored in confined spaces.
and using it, carry out any
repairs as might be required;
an immediate inspection must
be carried out if the lawnmower
should start to vibrate to an
unusually strong extent.
Note:
When working on slopes and
inclines always work diagonally
to the incline. You can prevent
the lawnmower from sliding
downhill by mowing slightly
diagonally upwards. Do not
mow extremely steep slopes and
take extra care when changing
directions on slopes.
Clean the underside of the
mower housing on a regular
basis. Remove grass residues,
which make it more difficult to
start the motor and impair the
cutting quality and ejection of
grass cuttings.
Always switch off the motor
before leaving the lawnmower
unattended.
Mowing with the Grass Catcher
As soon as grass rests remain
on the lawn or the filling level
display (fig. E, pos. 8) shows
FULL, the grass box is full and
must be emptied.
