How to Mow
1. For the best results, mow the outside edge of the
lawn in a clockwise direction first.
2. Then start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to
the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut.
3. For best grass collection, always mow in a straight line,
do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.
Do Not Overload Your Mower Mowing long thick grass
may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change
in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When
mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height
set higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height
Adjustment. Mow twice a week during the growing season,
your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at
one time and this may also result in poor collection.
Removing and Fitting the Blade and Fan
• Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges
could cause injury. USE GLOVES.
Removing the Blade and Fan
1. To remove the Blade Bolt, hold the Fan firmly and
with the Spanner provided loosen the Blade Bolt by
turning it anti-clockwise (S).
2. Remove the Blade Bolt, Blade, and Fan.(S)
3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.
Renew your Metal Blade after 50 hours mowing or 2
years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If the Blade is cracked or damaged replace it
with a new one. Never use a Blade Bolt if the insulated head is damaged cracked or missing.
Fitting the Blade and Fan
1. Ensure the Fan is located correctly.(S)
2. Fit the Blade to the Fan with the tilt edges of the Blade
(S1) facing towards the mower, ensuring the Blade is
located onto the fan location points (S2) correctly
3. Re-assemble Blade Bolt through Blade and Fan.
4. Hold the Fan firmly and tighten Blade Bolt firmly with
the Spanner provided. Do not over tighten.
5. Do not use a longer spanner.

Transporting your Lawnmower
Your product can be transported by unfolding the Upper
Handle from its storage position, locking the Cam Locks
and pulling it along on its roller (Z1)
Caring for your Lawnmower
Cleaning (T)
• USE GLOVES
• IMPORTANT It is very important that you keep your lawn-
mower clean. Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes or
under the lawnmower could become a potential fire hazard.
1. Remove grass from under the lawnmower with brush.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from all
air intakes, the discharge chute and the grass box.
3. Remove the Blade, see Figure S, to gain access to
the Fan and clean with a soft brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth.
• IMPORTANT Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or
solvents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.
At the End of the Mowing Season
1. Replace Blade, Bolts, Nuts or Screws, if necessary.
2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.
3. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
