Lay the power cable on the ground in loops in
front of the power outlet. Mow away from the po-
wer outlet and cable, making sure that the power
cable always trails in the mowed grass so that the
lawn mower does not travel over the cable.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
Im-
portant! Before taking o
ff
the grass basket,
switch o
ff
the motor and wait until the blade
has come to a stop.
To take o
ff
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 o
ff
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 1m.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use suita-
ble tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clip-
pings are picked up, the inside of both the grass
basket and especially the net must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the motor is
switched o
ff
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. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
authorized after-sales service or similarly trained
personnel to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 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 at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a quali
fi
ed electrician
and/or an authorized service agent.
Danger!
The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a quali
fi
ed electrician or the
authorized service technician.
8.3 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
8.4 Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the
blade replaced by an authorized professional. Im-
portant. Wear work gloves! Only replace the blade
with a genuine Einhell replacement blade, as this
will ensure top performance and safety under all
conditions.
Carry out the following steps to change the blade:
1. Undo the fastening screw (see Fig. 8a).
2. Remove the blade and replace with a new
one.
3. When
fi
tting the blade, make sure it is ins-
talled in the right direction. The blade’s air va-
nes must jut into the motor compartment (see
Fig. 8a). The dome mounts must be aligned
with the punch holes in the blade (see Fig.
8b).
