5. Before starting the equipment
The lawn mower is delivered partly assembled.
The push bar and the grass basket must be
assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow
the instructions step by step and refer to the
pictures when assembling.
Important! Required assembly parts (screws,
cable guides, etc.) or functional parts (e.g. plugs,
wrenches, etc.) can be found in the molded parts
of the packaging or on the equipment.
There are three contacts on the right-hand teeth
of the handlebar adjustment facility (Fig. 3/Item
18), as well as on the right-hand push bar (Fig.
3/Item 19). The contacts are for connecting the
electrical connections of the motor and switching
bar.
To avoid a loose connection while mowing, which
would cause the motor to stop, the contacts on
the handlebar adjustment and the push bar must
be pressed fi rmly together. If necessary, turn the
quick-release lever on the right-hand side in a
clockwise direction a little after fl ipping it back into
the closed position.
Fitting the push bar
Use the quick-tightening screws (Fig. 2/Item 15)
to fasten the push bar (Fig. 4/Item 13) to the teeth
of the handlebar adjustment. If necessary, turn
the quick-tightening screw back suffi ciently on
the thread so that the quick-release lever (Fig. 4/
Item 16) can then still be fl ipped down towards
the back.
You can adjust the angle of the long handle as a
whole by fl ipping up the two quick-release levers
(Fig. 5/Item 16), with three settings available for
the angle (Fig. 5). Only these three positions are
available. As you do this, make sure that both
sides are set to the same position. To secure the
push bar again, fl ip the two quick-release levers
back into the closed position.
You can adjust the angle of the upper push bar
by fl ipping up the two upper quick-release levers
(Fig. 6/Item 16), with three settings available for
the angle (Fig. 7). As you do this, make sure that
both sides are set to the same position. To secure
the push bar again, fl ip the two quick-release
levers back into the closed position.
Fitting the catch basket
Finally, press the carry-handle (Fig. 8/Item 7)
onto the top part of the housing of the catch
basket. During assembly, make sure that there
is an audible click when you fi t the individual
parts of the housing together. Before you fi t the
catch basket you must ensure that the motor is
switched off and the blade is not rotating. Lift the
ejector fl ap (Fig. 9/Item 9) with one hand. Using
the other hand, grab onto the basket by the
handle and hang it in from the top.
Filling level indicator of the catch basket
The catch basket is equipped with a fi lling level
indicator (Fig. 10/Item 12), which is opened by
the airfl ow that the lawn mower generates during
operation. If the fl ap closes during mowing, the
catch basket/collection bag is full and must be
emptied. To ensure the proper functioning of the
fi lling level indicator, the holes under the fl ap must
always be kept clean and passable.
In mulching mode, the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread
back onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather
and dispose of the grass.
Important! Mulching is only possible if the lawn
is relatively short. Mow the lawn regularly in order
to obtain a thin layer of mulch.
Warning!
Insert the mulching adapter only when the motor
is switched off and the safety plug has been
pulled out.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the
collection bag, slide the mulching adapter (Fig.
11/Item 14) through the ejector opening and close
the ejector fl ap again.

this process several times so that you are sure
that the machine functions properly. Before you
perform any repair or maintenance work on the
equipment, ensure that the blade is not rotating
- 15 -
EN
and that the safety plug is disconnected.
Caution! Never open the chute fl ap when
the collection bag has been detached (to
be emptied) and the motor is still running. A
rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and catch
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
catch basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be
used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15
degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing
swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition.
This will prevent the grass blades from fraying
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
The swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
The operating time of the rechargeable batteries
and therefore the area in square meters that can
be covered with a single battery charge is largely
dependent on the state of the grass (e.g. density,
moisture, height, cutting height, etc.) and the
mowing speed (walking speed). To adjust the area
coverage to your individual requirements, it is
recommended that you mow the lawn more often,
with a higher cutting height and at an appropriate
speed. Frequently turning the equipment on and
off while mowing will also reduce the amount
of area that you can cover. If the operating time
of the rechargeable batteries (area coverage)
is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above
measures, you can remedy the problem by using
rechargeable batteries with a larger capacity (Ah).
How frequently you should mow your lawn is
determined primarily by the speed at which the
grass grows. In the main growing season (May
- June) you will probably need to mow the lawn
twice a week, otherwise just once a week. The
cutting height should be between 1-½" - 2-3⁄8"
and the amount of growth before mowing again
should be 1-½" - 2". If the grass is allowed to grow
somewhat longer for whatever reason, do not
make the mistake of cutting it back to the normal
height in one go. This will harm the lawn. Never
cut it back by more than half the height in one go.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean
and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only
make it more diffi cult to start the mower; they
decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder
for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping
down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. Make several passes so that no
more than 1-9/16" (4 cm) of grass are cut at one
time.
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on
the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues
to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has
been switched off . Never attempt to manually
stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the
blade is securely attached, is in good condition
and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen
the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade
strikes an object, immediately switch off the
lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a
complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the
blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts
that are damaged.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the catch basket.
Important! Before taking off the catch basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the catch basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down
after removing the catch basket and closes off
the rear chute opening. If any grass remains in
the open-ing, it will be easier to restart the engine
if you pull the mower back approximately 39.3"
(1m).
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings
in or on the mower housing, but instead use
suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass
clippings are picked up, the inside of the catch
basket must be cleaned after each use.
Reattach the catch basket only when the motor is
switched off and the blade has stopped.
Lift up the chute fl ap with one hand and, holding
the catch basket by its handle with the other
hand, hang in the basket from the top.
7. Cleaning and maintenance
Danger!
Pull the safety plug before carrying out any
cleaning work (Fig. 15).
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
•
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
•
water, particularly with high-pressure water.
We recommend cleaning the equipment
•
immediately each time after use.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
•
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
•
brush or rag.
7.2 Maintenance
Worn out or damaged blade, blade mounts,
•
and bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e.
•
screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened
so that the equipment can be safely operated
at all times.
Frequently check the grass catch assembly
•
for signs of wear.
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts
•
immediately.
In order to ensure that you enjoy the
•
equipment for many years to come, all
screwed parts, as well as the wheels and
axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.
Keeping your lawn mower in good condition
•
not only ensures a long lifespan and high
performance, but also enables the equipment
to thoroughly cut your grass with minimal
effort.
The blade is subjected to more wear and
•
tear than any other component. Therefore,
routinely check the condition of the blade
and make sure that it is tightly fastened. If
the blade is completely worn out, it must be
immediately replaced or ground sharp again.
An excessively vibrating mower means that
the blade is not properly balanced or has
become deformed from striking an object.
In this case, the blade must be repaired or
replaced.
There are no other parts inside the equipment
•
which require maintenance.
7.3 Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the
blade replaced by an authorized professional.
Important! Wear work gloves! Only replace the
blade with a genuine Einhell replacement blade,
as this will ensure top performance and safety
under all conditions.
Carry out the following steps to change the blade:
1. Undo the fastening screw SW13 (see Fig. 16).
2. Remove the blade and replace with a new
one.
3. When fi tting the blade, make sure it is
installed in the right direction. The blade
air vanes must project into the motor
compartment (see Fig. 16). The dome mounts
must be aligned with the punch holes in the
blade.
4. Then retighten the fastening screw with the
universal wrench (see Fig. 16). The tightening
torque should be approx. 25 Nm.
At the end of the season, perform a general
inspection of the lawn mower and remove any
grass and dirt which may have accumulated.
At the start of each season, ensure that you
check the condition of the blade. If repairs are
necessary, please contact our customer service
center. Use only genuine spare parts.
