To stop your lawnmower
1. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear
any residual grass, tilt your lawnmower slightly. (F)
2. Release the pressure on the start / stop lever.
HOW TO USE
1. 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. (J)
2. Cut your grass twice a week during the growing
season. Your lawn will suffer if more than a third of
its length is cut at one time.
CAUTION!
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 “Adjusting the Cutting Height”.
GRASSBOX
For optimum performance your product is designed to be
used with the grassbox fitted.
Emptying the Grassbox (K)
Stop the product and wait until the cutting head has
stopped rotating before emptying the grassbox.
1. Lift the grassbox lid.
2. Lift the grassbox off the product and empty.
3. Replace grassbox and lid carefully.
Failure to fit the grassbox and lid correctly will cause poor
collection of grass clippings.
CARING FOR YOUR PRODUCT
Cleaning (P)
NOTE:
Use gloves.
It is very important that you keep your lawnmower clean.
Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes or under the
hood could become a potential fire hazard.
1. Remove grass from under the hood with spanner /
scraper tool.
2. Using a soft brush, remove grass clippings from all air
intakes.
3. Remove the blade 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. Ask your local Service Centre to clean the air filter
thoroughly and carry out any service or repairs
required.
4. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
Carrying your Lawnmower
Ensure the blade is facing away from you.
Storing your Lawnmower
Store in a dry place where your lawnmower is protected
from damage.
