CHECKING CUTTING-MEANS CONDITION
To check cutting-means condition:
1. Ensure that the isolator key
and the battery pack are
removed from the machine.
2. Tilt the machine to the right so
the yellow button side [1] is up.
• Check if the cutting-means is
showing signs of wear. It is
necessary to replace the
cutting-means when the
recesses join together, or when
a crack appears, or if it is bent.
NORMAL
15 mm
Max.
EXCESSIVELY WORN
• Check that cutting-means bolts are not loose (see
"Maintenance" chapter
• To replace or remove the cutting-means, refer to the
procedure described in the "Maintenance" chapter
Never operate the machine with a worn, damaged, split or
dented cutting-means. Pieces of cutting-means which breaks
off and is thrown outwards can cause serious personal injuries.
NOTE: Cutting-means wear is increased when the machine is used
on sandy soils. Inspect the cutting-means more often when the
machine is used in these conditions.
ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
To change the cutting height:
1. Remove the isolator key and the battery pack or switch the
isolator key to the off (O) position.
2. Pull the adjusting lever [2] towards the wheel and place it in the
adjustment groove [3]. Adjusting lever and adjustment grooves
are near the front left and rear left wheel.

The cutting height settings are approximate values, the actual
height of the cut grass varies with the lawn and ground condition. To
choose the cutting height, check how the lawn looks after mowing a
small area and adjust the cutting height where necessary.

NOTE:
• Do not cut more than 1/3 of the initial height of the grass in one
passage as brown spots will appear. The cut will be cleaner and
this will limit the possibility of cutting-means and chute blackage.
• If the lawn is too high, mow at the maximum permissible height of
the machine. Mow the lawn again 2 or 3 days later.
• The depth of the roots is proportional to the height of the grass
cuttings: the shorter the cut, the shallower the roots.
• Choose a cutting height suited to the use of the lawn: leisure,
sport: 5 cm or more, ornamental: 1 to 3 cm.
• Only some species of lawn can endure short cuts. If a lawn is cut
too short, it is fragile and susceptible to dryness. Please ask the
advice of a specialist.
