Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts; Replacing The Blade; Carbon Brushes - Robust RB-EM 1030 Manual De Instrucciones

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.
•
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.

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 Servicing
•
Worn out or damaged blades, blade mounts,
and bolts should be replaced as a set by an
authorized professional in order to keep the
machine 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 machine 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 your scarifier
for many years to come, all screwed parts, as
well as the wheels and axles, should be clea-
ned and lubricated.
•
Keeping your hand mower in good condition
not only ensures a long lifespan and high
performance, but also enables the machine 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 cutting components - i.e. the knife cage
and lower knife blade - are subjected to more
wear and tear than any other component
of the unit. 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 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. 8a).
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 jut into the motor compartment (see
Fig. 8a). The dome mounts must be aligned
with the punch holes in the blade (see Fig.
8b).
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.
