The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the machine is switched off. Allow the motor/blade to stop rotating be- fore switching “on” again.

Do not rapidly switch off and on.

	Stopping:

Release the switch lever 1.

The mower is fitted with a blade brake. This safety feature stops the blade from rotating in a few sec- onds. You may notice a slight smell during the first few operations of the brake (on releasing the On/Off switch). This is entirely normal and will cause no damage to your machine.

The blade may be stiff to turn by hand while the ma- chine is not in operation, this is due the brake.

Mowing

IPlace the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as close to the power point as possible. Work away from the power point. Then at right angles.

Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at the end of each turn.

When mowing do not allow the motor to la- bour 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 the switch lever and raise the height of cut. Failure to do so could damage the machine.

NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety cut out which is activated when the blade becomes jammed or if the motor is overloaded. When this occurs stop, remove the plug from the power supply. The safety cut out will only reset when the switch lever 1 is released. Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes for the safety cut out to re- set before continuing to use the mower. At this time do not operate the switch lever 1 as this will prolong the reset time of the safety cut out. If the mower cuts out again increase the height of cut to reduce the load on the motor.

HThe grass combs 11 allows a very close cut to the wall or edge. Beware of running combs into ob- jects while cutting close to walls/edges.

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 blade, loose fixings, and worn or damaged components.

Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance 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 customer service agent for Bosch garden products.

For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al- ways include the 10-digit part number (TYP) from the nameplate of the machine!

Blade Maintenance

Stop, remove plug from the power supply and remove the grassbox.

Turn the machine on its right side and inspect the blade; if blunt or damaged, replace.

Use the following procedure to remove and replace the blade.

Hold the blade 17 using gardening gloves (not pro- vided) use a spanner (not provided) to remove the blade bolt 16, blade washer 18 (ROTAK 34/37 only), bevel washer 20 and blade. Fit the bevel washer, blade, blade washer and the blade bolt. Ensure that

the blade is the correct way up (so that this sym- bol can be seen located as in figure J) and tighten the bolt firmly.

In the event of a blade becoming difficult to remove or fit, insert a screwdriver into hole 21 to lock the drive. Ensure the screwdriver is removed before at- tempting to turn the machine on.

Do not lubricate blade or blade bolt during refitting.
