STARTING
Connect the plug to the mains and switch
ON.
The switchbox is provided with a lock-off
button to prevent accidental starting.
With one hand press and hold the safety
button (D1), with the other hand squeeze
the switch lever (D2) towards the handle,
and release the safety lock-off button. The
machine is now started, wait until the motor
is at full speed before cutting the grass. The
switch lever should be continuously engaged
to keep the lawn mower switched on.
TO SWITCH THE LAWN MOWER OFF
Simply release the switch lever and the lawn
mower will switch off.
2. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig E)
WARNING! Before adjusting the
mower height, wait for the mower
to completely stop. Disconnect the supply
cable from the mains supply. Mower blades
continue to rotate after the machine is
switched off and a rotating blade can cause
injury. Wait until all machine components
have completely stopped before touching
them.
Before your rst cut, adjust the mower
cutting depth to the desired position. The
lawnmower can be set to 3 cutting heights
between 20mm and 60mm.
Grip one wheel and pull it out of the groove
and reposition it in the required height. ALL
other wheels should be positioned at the
same height.
3. MOWING
For cutting convenience, it may be best to
start mowing at a point close to the power
supply and to work your way away from
the supply. Mow the lawn at a right angle
from the power supply and place the power
cable to the side of the lawn which has
already been cut.
WARNING! When mowing do not allow
the motor to labour, particularly in
heavy conditions. When the motor labours
the speed of the motor drops and you will
hear a change in the motor sound, when this
occurs, stop mowing, release the switch lever
and raise the height of cut. Failure to do so
could damage the machine.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Always store your
power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working
controls free of dust. Occasionally you may
see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is
normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualied persons in order to
