Height of cut adjustment (Fig. G)
!
Warning! Disconnect your mower from
the electrical supply before making any
adjustment and give the blade time to stop
rotating: cutting blades are sharp.
G By moving the 5 position height of cut
adjuster (34) at the rear of your mower
outwards from your mower body (1) and
then up or down as required, the height of
cut can be varied to give 5 positions.
Note: The 5 position height of cut adjuster is
under tension when in the engaged position.
It has to be sprung outwards to move from
one height setting to another and will spring
back automatically into position when released.
The maximum to medium height of cut
settings, as indicated by arrows 1, 2 and 3
are suitable for coarse or overgrown grass.
Settings 4 and 5 should be used for
maintaining cultivated lawns.

How to use your mower (Fig. H & J)
!
Observe all the relevant warnings when
using your mower.
H
We recommend the directional method of
operation as shown in Fig. H to obtain the
maximum cutting performance from your
mower and to reduce the risk of the trailing
extension lead from entering the cutting path.
•
Place the bulk of the extension cable on
the lawn close to the starting point
(Fig. Ha, position 1).
•
Hold the handle assembly with both
hands.
Your switch box incorporates a cable
restraint. To fix the cable to the restraint,
proceed as follows:
•
Bring the socket end of the extension
cable from behind and connect it to your
mower plug.
J
•
Form a loop on your extension cable
close to the coupler.
•
Push the loop through the slot from the
opposite side of the restraint hook,
position the loop over the hook and pull
the cable back through the slot. Your
cable will now be restrained.
•
The extension cable should now fall
away from your mower and behind the
operator, ready for use.
!
Warning! Do not attempt to operate your
mower with one hand - you must guide it
with both hands.
•
Tilt the unit backwards to reduce the risk
of lawn damage whilst starting, depress
the safety lock-off button (20) on the
switchbox (24) (Fig. A), and whilst still
depressed pull the switch lever (21)
towards you. Your mower will start, and
you can now allow your mower to return
to its proper cutting position, and
commence cutting.
•
Proceed down the cutting area as shown
in Fig. Ha, working from position 1
towards position 2 and, on reaching
position 2, turn to the right and proceed
towards position 3. Continue to the end
of the cutting area, turn to the left, and
proceed towards position 4. Continue in
the same manner as shown in Fig. Ha,
always working away from the cable.
