Do not run whilst working, walk at a constant pace
that allows the machine to cut the grass without too
much effort.
7.2. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
Attention! Stop the machine and wait for the blade
to stop before adjusting the height adjustment. The
blades need a few moments to stop completely after
stopping the engine.
To regulate the height adjustment, press the lever
outwards and move it or up or down to the desired
spot.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
Place the lawnmower in one
corner of the working area
and adjust the cutting height
adjustment to the desired place.
Check that the catcher is correctly placed, check that
the blade is not in contact with any object and start
the lawnmower.
Walk at a pace that allows the grass to be cut
correctly.
Do not tilt the machine when starting the engine
unless it is necessary. In this case, do not tilt the
machine more than it is absolutely necessary and only
tilt the part furthest away from the end user. Only do
this when starting to cut high grass and only to allow
the entry of the lawnmower into the high grass. Stop
the engine when transporting the lawnmower from
one work area to the next.
Note: If the grass is very high, the start up of the
engine will be more difficult. If the grass is very high, it
is convenient to elevate slightly the front wheels of the
lawnmower, pushing the handle slightly downwards
and start up the machine in this position. Once the
engine has achieved its normal revolutions, stop
pressing the handle downwards and allow the front
wheels downwards. Another option is to start the
machine in a clear place and walk into the working
area elevating the front wheels slightly when entering
the working area.
If the engines revolutions fall a lot and the it is
difficult to cut the grass, this is a clear signal that
the machine is being overstretched. This could be
dangerous for the machine. In this case, adjust the
height adjustment to the highest position and then do
a second cutting at the desired height.
We recommend you use the following tips so as to
obtain the best possible results and reduce the risk of
the cable being cut:
- Start cutting at the point nearest to the mains
switch.
- Connect the cable to the mains switch.
- Start up the lawnmower.
- Cut as shown in the diagram:
- Cut from point 1 to 2.
- Turn towards your right to point 3.
- Turn towards the left to point 4.
- Repeat the sequence as many times as necessary.
