The blades may require adjustment, particularly
before first use - see adjusting blades.
When mowing do not allow the motor to labour
particularly in heavy conditions.
When the motor labours the speed of the motor
drops and you will hear a change in the motor
sound, when this occurs stop mowing, release
switch lever and raise the height of cut. Failure
to do so could damage the machine.
Stop, remove plug from the power supply
and remove the grassbox.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry
out the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as
loose, dislodged or damaged blades, loose fix-
ings, and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged
and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary main-
tenance or repairs before using.
If the mower should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacture and testing, repair
should be carried out by an authorised cus-
tomer service agent for Bosch garden products.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders,
always include the 10-digit part number from
the nameplate of the machine!
The cutter should be adjusted if the grass is not
cut cleanly and evenly.
1. Tilt the mower back and wedge securely.
2. Remove grassbox cradle 11.
3. Turn adjuster screw 18 clockwise a little at a
time.
Note: The blades are correctly adjusted when
the cutting cylinder 19 lightly brushes the bot-
tom blade across the full width as the cylinder is
turned.
The blades act like a pair of shears, as a test,
correctly adjusted blades will cut a piece of
good quality writing paper across the width of
the blade.
Once correctly adjusted refit grassbox cra-
dle 11.
