SHARP BLADES-BE VERY

CAREFUL.

Caution: for safety ensure that the
Safety Key and Battery are removed
from the Mower before adjusting the
blade.

To adjust the blade turn the 2 bolts on the blade
shield. The cylinder should almost touch the
blade, but do not over tighten it.
If the cylinder hits the blade it is too tight and
will damage the cutting edge; loosen the nuts.

To check for correct adjustment, insert a piece
of paper between the blade and the cutting
cylinder. When the cutting cylinder is turned by
hand the paper should be cut cleanly.

CAUTION: DO NOT TURN THE

WHEELS AS THE BLADES WILL

ALSO TURN.

Mowing Tips

9.0

Before mowing ensure the area to be cut is clear of stones or other objects, which may
damage the mower or cause injury.
Start by mowing around the edges of your lawn, then cut the centre area in stripes. Mow
twice a week during growing season, the grass will be weakened if more than a third of
the length is cut away at one time. The mower should be parked, the operation lever
released and the blades allowed to stop before the grass collector is removed for
emptying.

Do Not Overload the Mower

If you hear the motor in the mower change pitch dramatically while mowing, it may be
overloaded.
If the grass is very thick or long, a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help
reduce the load on the motor. (see Cutting Adjustment Section 5.0)
Push the mower more slowly when cutting thick grass.
If the grass is particularly thick you can release the safety handle and use the
POWERmow as a push mower.

Before removing the grass box for emptying, release the operation lever and wait
for the blades to stop turning.

Lift the basket up and toward the mower to release the hooks.
Lift up and clear of the mower. Always empty clippings before storage.
Replacing the grass collector is the reverse of the removal process.

Emptying the Grass Collector

9.1

POWERmow
can be used
as push mower
without battery power

The handle is designed with a safety button to prevent
accidental starting.

1. Press and hold the safety button ‘A’ located on the left of
the upper handle, then squeeze the operation lever ‘B’
towards the upper handle.

2. Release the operation lever ‘B’ to stop the mower.

IMPORTANT : when releasing the operation lever, wait
for the blades to stop turning before clearing any grass
or putting your hands near the blades!

There are 2 levels of protection: Electronic(1.) and
Mechanical Clutch(2.). Both prevents damage to the
battery, motor and gearbox due to overload or jamming.

1. Electronic - If the blade jam or the mower is over
worked, the blade will stop and the green LED will flash.

2. Mechanical Clutch - If the blade suddenly stop, you
may hear a load noise which is the clutch, the electronic
protection will eventually stop the motor.

To restart, release the lever, ensure the blades are clear of
debris, wait a few then restart with the lever.

Please Note : cutting long, thick, or wet grass could
overload the mower or make the blade stall.
If the over work protection operates then the following
actions are recommended:

1. Make a first higher cut then make a second cut with the required cutting height.

2. Push the mower more slowly or release the lever and use the push powered function.

3. Check the blade is correctly adjusted so the grass is cut cleanly.
