For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut, damaged or entangled.

The blades continue to rotate for a few sec- onds after the machine is switched off.

Caution - do not touch rotating blades.

Electrical Safety

Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz. Only use approved extension cables. Contact your service agent for details.

Extension cords/leads should only be used if they comply with H05VV-F or H05RN-F types.

It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every time you use it.

For products not sold in GB: WARNING: For safety, it is essential that the mains plug 7 at- tached to the machine is fitted to the power supply cable 31.

The couplings of connection leads must be pro- tected against splashes and the coupling sock- ets on the leads must be made of rubber or coated with rubber.

Fixing means for the connection leads must be used.

The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re- placed by a Bosch Service Center.

Products sold in GB only: Your mower is fitted with an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and is protected by a 13 A fuse (ASTA Ap- proved to BS 1362).

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be in- serted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.

Assembly

AUnfold the top handle 1 and tighten wing- nut.

Note: Ensure that the cable clips supplied are used to fix the cable to the handle.

The blades will require adjustment – see “Adjust- ing Blades”.

Attach cable to cable restraint 6 ensuring that sufficient cable slack is available. (Euro models only)

BGrassbox/bag

Spring the grassbox cradle 11 into pivot holes 12.

Attach/remove the grassbox as shown.

CHeight of cut adjustment

Your machine has six settings which give the fol- lowing approximate height of cut:

1 = 10 mm	2 = 14 mm	3 = 19 mm
4 = 27 mm	5 = 35 mm	S = Scarifier

Position “S” should only be used with the Scari- fier Cassette accessory (purchased separately).

To adjust the height of cut:

Tilt the mower to take the weight off the front rollers.

Push the height of cut knob 10 in and turn to the desired position.

For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting adjustment should be selected.

(Windsor models only)

The comb will also require adjustment, See “Comb Adjustment”.

CComb Adjustment (Windsor models only)

Your mower is fitted with an adjustable comb 13 which can be brought into use on the lower heights of cut. It is set by loosening the screws 14 and rotating the comb until the tines just touch the ground. You may need to re-adjust after changing the height of cut. Take care not to set the comb too deep, as this could cause dam- age to either your mower or lawn.

CCutting Long Grass Using Side Wheel Kit (ap- propriate models only) (Windsor models only)

Note: depending on country your mower may be fitted with side wheels as standard, in place of a full width roller.

Your mower is fitted with a full width front roller which is suitable for normal smooth lawns. For cutting longer, coarse grass a side wheel kit can be fitted. To fit this kit proceed as follows:

1.Tilt the mower back and wedge securely.

2.Remove the front roller/comb assembly by removing screw 14 and slackening nut 15 on both sides.

3.Fit the side wheel, space tube on to the side wheels spindle.
