2. WORK MODE DIAL (See Fig. F) Status1: QUIET mode

Select QUIET mode when mowing in everyday conditions, removing approximately 20mm of grass at a time. Status2: TURBO mode Set the dial to TURBO mode when cutting dense or overgrown grass.

3. BATTERY STATUS LED’S (See Fig. G) NOTE: The Status LED’s will indicate the battery condition when the button on the battery is pressed.

The LED’s constantly senses and displays the battery condition as follows: Press the button “POWERTEST”, the light button is illuminated. When the three green lights are illuminated, the battery is in a highly charged condition. When two lights (

) are illuminated, the battery is in a moderately charged condition. When only one green light (

) is illuminated, the battery charge is depleted. Before using your new mower for the ﬁrst time, it is recommended that the unit be charged overnight to ensure that the battery is fully charged.

IMPORTANT When only one light is illuminated, your battery is overly discharged, even though the mower may still be capable of cutting grass. Continuing to operate your lawnmower with the battery in this discharged condition may reduce the life and performance of your battery.

4. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. H)

WARNING! Stop, release switch lever and wait

until the motor stops before adjusting height. The blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched off, a rotating blade can cause injury. CAUTION: Do not touch rotating blades. For the ﬁrst cutting of the season, a high cutting adjustment should be selected. The lawnmower can be set to 5 cutting heights between 20mm and 60mm. For this purpose, move the cutting height adjustment lever outwards then adjust to the preferred position..

5. GRASS BAG FILLING INDICATOR (See Fig. I)

To remind you immediately to empty when the grass collection bag is full, the mower provides an indicator on the top of bag to show the collection status. And you can follow as below:

Empty status: ﬂap ﬂoats (a)

Fully status: ﬂap falls down (b)

6. REAR DISCHARGE (See Fig. J)

The mower provides a rear discharge function, so that you can mower without bag collection. The debris will be discharged from the rear chute.

7. MOWING TIPS NOTE : ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES, STICKS, WIRE, METAL AND OTHER DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE ROTATING BLADE.

1. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-anddown. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always maintain good footing.

2. Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” when crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown by the blade).

3. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one time can cause circuit breaker to trip, which stops mower.

4. If a grass bag is used during the fast growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at the discharge opening. Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” and remove the safety key. Remove the grass bag and shake the grass down to the back end of the bag. Also clean out any grass or debris which may be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the grass collection bag.

5. If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” and remove safety key. Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a service check has been made.

6. ALWAYS RELEASE SWITCH LEVER TO TURN MOWER “OFF” AND REMOVE SAFET Y KEY WHEN LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Stop the mower and remove the safety key before removing the grass bag.

Page 13

Cordless lawn mower WG776E WG776E.9

NOTE : To ensure long and reliable service, perform the following maintenance procedures regularly. Check for obvious defects such as a loose, dislodged or a damaged blade, loose ﬁttings, and worn or damaged components. Check that the covers and guards are all undamaged and are correctly attached to mower. Carry out any necessary maintenance or repairs before operating mower. If the mower should happen to fail despite regular maintenance, please call our customer helpline for ad vice.

BLADE SHARPENING

KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED. Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufﬁcient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required. REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:

1. Make sure blade remains balanced.

2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.

3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.

TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See Fig. K)

1. Be sure the switch lever is released, the blade has stopped and the safety key removed before removing the blade.

2. Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing and attaching blade.

3. Secure blade K-1 in a vise K-2.

4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to cut yourself.

5. Carefully ﬁle the cutting edges of the blade with a ﬁne tooth ﬁle K-3 or sharpening stone.

6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for blade balancing.

7. Replace blade on mower and tighten securely. Refer to instructions below.

BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. L)

Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade L-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank L -2, clamped horizontally in a vise L-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward, ﬁle that end. Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.

BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. M1,M2)

Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner-regardless of condition. Follow these procedures to remove and replace the blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the blade. Hold the blade (15) and unscrew the blade bolt (14) counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then remove blade. To re-assemble, position the blade (15) with the cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely tighten the blade bolt (14).

STORAGE: (See Fig. N1N2 )

Stop the mower and always remove the safety key. Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from the ventilation slots. Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement. Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the machine. To aid storage, release the handle cam lever, and rotate or fold the upper handle. .
