5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions
for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1 Working area
Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the
presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of it.

POW63707
5.2 Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
the risk of a lethal electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will
increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.
Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected
by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric
shock.
5.3 Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious
personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed
will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the
switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable
you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become
entangled in the moving parts.
If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure
that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what
you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context
for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

www.varo.com
Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people
POW63707
who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other
feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool
must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool
in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.
5.5 Service
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
EN
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAWN MOWERS
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
Never mow while people, especially children or pets, are nearby.
The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open sandals, always wear
substantial footwear and long trousers.

POW63707
When you fit the top push bar you can decide the
height of the push bar by selecting the
appropriate fastening hole (Fig. 3c). Fasten the
top push bar using either the holes L for a low
position or H for a high position.
Screw the top push bar to the bottom push bar
as shown in Fig. 3d.
EN
8 SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHTS
Important! Adjust the cutting height only when the engine is switched off
and the power cable has been disconnected.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the blade is not blunt and that none of the
fasteners are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades. To
carry out this check, first switch off the motor and pull out the power plug.
Position Cutting depth
1 20mm
2 40mm
3 60mm
The cutting height is adjusted by “spring and bar” system. To do so, turn the equipment upside
down or tilt it to the side. Position both the front and rear axle in the same notch, so that the
cutting blade runs parallel to the lawn.

9 OPERATION
9.1 Connect to power supply.
Before you connect the equipment to the
mains supply make sure that the data on the
rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Connect the plug to an extension cable. It is
imperative to secure the extension cable with
the cable grip as shown in Figure 5a.
9.2 Starting
Press and hold safety button (then squeeze the switch lever towards the handle). Release the
safety button.
9.3 Stopping
Release the switch lever
ATTENTION : After switching off, the cutting blade will go on turning for a
few seconds, make sure the blade has come to a complete standstill.
CAUTION: Do not rapidly switch off and on.
9.4 Safety button
Important! To prevent the machine switching on accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with
a safety lock-off which must be pressed before the switching bar can be activated. The lawn
mower switches itself off when the switch is released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the blade is
not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important! Never open the discharge flap if the grass bag is being emptied
and the motor is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag carefully. Always switch off the motor before
you remove these items. The safety distance between the blade casing and the user provided
by the guide struts must be maintained at all times.
9.5 Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines. Only mow with sharp, perfect blades so
that the blades of grass do not fray, making the lawn turn yellow.
The cutting height should be between 4 and 6 cm and the growth before the next cut should
be between 4 and 5 cm. If the lawn grows longer than this on occasion, do not make the
mistake of cutting to normal length straight away since this will damage the lawn. Never cut
the grass by more than half its height.
Copyright © 2010 VARO
P a g e | 9
www.varo.com
Keep the underside of the mower casing clean and remove all grass deposits from it. Deposits
POW63707
make it more difficult to start the mower and also adversely affect the mowing quality and the
grass discharge. On slopes mow across the slope (not in up or down direction).You can
counteract the tendency of the mower to slide down the slope by setting it at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height to suit the actual length of the grass. Make several passes to ensure
that you do not remove more than 4 cm of grass length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any inspections of the blade. Remember than the
blade will continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never
attempt to stop the blade.
Check regularly that the blade is correctly secured, in good condition and well ground. If not,
grind or replace the blade. If the moving blade strikes an object, stop the mower and wait until
the blade has come to a complete standstill. Then check the condition of the blade and the
blade holder. If they are damaged, they must be replaced.
Place the mains lead in loops on the ground in front of the socket. Mow away from the socket
and cable and ensure that the mains lead is always on the section of lawn that you have
already mowed so that you do not run over the mains lead with the mower. As soon as you
see mown grass on the lawn whilst you are mowing, the grass bag will need emptying.
9.6 Grass bag
Important! Before you remove the grass bag switch off the motor and wait
until the cutting tool reaches a standstill.
To remove the grass bag, raise the discharge flap with one hand and remove the grass bag
using its handle with your other hand.
To maintain safety, the discharge flap will close when you remove the grass bag to seal the
rear discharge opening. If any grass residues are caught in the opening, it is a good idea to
pull the mower backwards around 1 m to make it easier to start the motor.
Do not remove grass cuttings in the mower casing or on the cutter by hand or with your feet.
Instead use suitable tools such as a brush or broom. To ensure that it can collect the grass
correctly the grass bag and in particular the net must be cleaned from the inside after use.
Only attach the grass bag after switching off the motor and the cutting blade has reached a
standstill.
EN
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention! Before performing any work on the equipment, pull out the power
plug.
