Mowing

FPlace the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as close to the power point as possible. Work away from the power point.

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

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.

Maintenance

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!

BD Adjusting the Blade

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.
