Operation Manual

4. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
WARNING! Always switch the product off and
remove the mains plug from the power supply
before making any adjustments.
Adjust the depth according to the needs of your lawn. The
most suitable depth depends on the kind of lawn and the
actual height of the grass.
Please note when working on an unkempt lawn with thick
thatch you should rake or scarify the lawn at a higher setting
before going over it again at a lower setting, so as not to put
too much strain on the motor.
1). Push the depth adjustment lever (10) towards the wheel
(11), then move it forward or backward to adjust the cutting
depth. (See Fig. 8a).
2). Adjust the lever (10) to one out of the five stages. Read
the adjusted depth from the scale. (See Fig 8b and the table
below).
