MAINTENANCE
Store the tool, instruction manual and accessories in a secure, dry place. You will then always be able to refer to the relevant information when required.
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).
When not in use, keep the cord wrapped around the cable tidy.
Keep the tool’s air vents accessible when the cover (13) is raised, unclogged and clean at all times.
Remove dust and dirt regularly.
Clean inside the mower body and under the deck. Use a brush or damp rag.
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.
You can clean out the grass box with a hose or pressure cleaner provided that you first remove it from the mower. Replace the grass box when it is dry.
Do not let water come into contact with the motor.
Never use chemicals such as petrol or solvents to clean plastic parts.
Never disassemble the tool or carry out any repairs.
Always have the mower maintained or repaired by a competent person at an authorised service centre.
