MAINTENANCE
WARNING.
Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making
any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1. Regularly check that all the
fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
2. In order to take up less space
when storing the mower,
loosen both wing knobs (9)
and fold the upper handle (1)
over the lower handle (17).
3. When not in use, keep the
cord wrapped around the
cable tidy.
4. Keep the tool’s air vents
accessible when the cover
(13) is raised, unclogged and
clean at all times.
5. Remove dust and dirt
regularly.
6. Clean inside the mower body and under the deck. Use
a brush or damp rag.
7. At the end of the season, give the mower an overall
cleaning and a thorough check, including the blade.
Have the blade sharpened or replaced if necessary.

pressure cleaner provided that you first remove it from
the mower. Replace the grass box when it is dry.

10. Never use chemicals such as petrol or solvents to
clean plastic parts.
11. Never disassemble the tool or carry out any repairs.
