When mowing, always guide the
extension cable on the side of the
lawnmower closest to the grass
you have already mowed.
Warning! Do not feed the
A
extension cable around or
underneath doors or through open
windows! Always hold the plug
and / or the coupling housing when
unplugging the extension cable
from the socket. Do not pull on the
cable.
Starting the lawnmower
Carefully start the motor or press
the starter switch according to the
instructions provided by the manu-
facturer. Keep your feet away
from the cutting tool. Stand the
lawnmower on an even surface.
8. Information concerning correct mowing
General Information about
Lawn Care
We recommend mowing your lawn
every week if possible to keep your
lawn looking its best. Mowing
your lawn regularly strengthens the
individual blades of grass and
makes your lawn more resistant.
Short grass cuttings (up to around
1 cm in length) can be left on the
lawn after mowing. Longer cuttings
should be removed so that the
lawn does not turn yellow and
become matted. If you do not
attach the grass catcher when
mowing, the silencio lawnmower
distributes the grass cuttings cleanly
from the high rear ejection chute.
Cut your lawn for the first time in
the spring as soon as the grass
begins to grow and you can walk
on the lawn. If the grass has
already grown too tall, first mow
in one direction with a high cutting
height then mow at right angles
to the first cut with the required
shorter cutting height.
Check the terrain where you will
be using your lawnmower and
remove all obstacles and objects,
which could get caught and then
ejected.
If the cutting tool is blocked by
a foreign object or if the motor is
overloaded, release the safety
handle and the motor will switch
off automatically. Remove the
foreign object if necessary.
Warning! Do not tilt the
A
lawnmower when starting
the motor. If you do need to tilt the
lawnmower for some reason while
starting the motor, in this case,
press down gently on the guide
handle and tilt the mower. Only tilt
the mower as far as is absolutely
necessary and only lift the front
edge of the mower (the edge that is
furthest away from you).
Mowing
Only mow with sharp, unworn
blades so that the blades of grass
are not frayed and the lawn does
not turn yellow.
The cutting height should always
be at least 3 – 4 cm since the
lower part of the grass blade is
white. If you cut the grass too
short, the lawn will no longer
appear lush and green. The blades
of grass will also dry out too
quickly above all in the summer.
To achieve a clean cut, always
guide your lawnmower at an
appropriate speed in straight cut-
ting paths. The paths should
always overlap by a few centi-
metres so that you do not miss
strips of lawn.
Never lift or carry the lawnmower
when the motor is running.
If the lawnmower comes into con-
tact with a foreign object, switch
off the motor and unplug the mains
To start the lawnmower, press the
start button (Figure G, Item 13)
with one hand and press the safety
handle (Figure G, Item 6) towards
the guide handle with the other
hand. You can release the start but-
ton once the motor is running.
Warning! Overloading the
A
motor frequently (you will
hear the speed of the motor
decrease considerably) will dam-
age the motor coil.
Stopping the Motor
You can stop the motor by releas-
ing the safety handle (Figure G,
Item 6). An integrated brake stops
the cutting tool rotating within
3 seconds.
Warning! The cutting tool

plug. Inspect the lawnmower for
damage and carry out any neces-
sary repairs before you restart the
motor and continue mowing.
Inspect the lawnmower immediately
if it begins to vibrate unusually
vigorously.
Note:
When working on slopes and
inclines always work diagonally
to the incline. You can prevent the
lawnmower from sliding downhill
by mowing slightly diagonally
upwards. Do not mow extremely
steep slopes and take extra care
when changing directions on
slopes.
Clean the underside of the mower
housing on a regular basis.
Remove grass residues, which make
it more difficult to start the motor
and impair the cutting quality and
ejection of grass cuttings.
Always switch off the motor
before leaving the lawnmower
unattended.
