8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 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 with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
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 that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
•
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
brush or rag.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
8.3 Maintenance
•
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts,
and bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
equipment in balance.
•
Do not clean the lawn mower with running
water, particularly with high-pressure water.
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.
•
Store your lawn mower in a dry room.
•
In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip-

ment 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 per-
formance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
For best results, clean the lawn mower with a
brush or rag. Do not use any solvents or water
to remove dirt.
•
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 im-
mediately 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 parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.

8.4 Replacing the blade

For safety reasons, we recommend having the
blade replaced by an authorized professional. Im-
portant! 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 (see Fig. 12a).
2. Remove the blade and replace with a new
one.
3. When fi tting the blade, make sure it is ins-
talled in the right direction. The blade's air va-
nes must project into the motor compartment
(see Fig. 12a). The dome mounts must be
aligned with the punch holes in the blade (see
Fig. 12b).
4. Then retighten the fastening screw with the
universal wrench. The tightening torque
should be approx. 25 Nm.
At the end of the season, perform a general ins-
pection 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 condi-
tion of the blade. If repairs are necessary, please
contact our customer service center. Use only
genuine spare parts.
