Handle type “I”
Move the two lower parts of the handle (11) and (12), already
pre-assembled, to the working position, matching the tooth
marked with «>» EXCLUSIVELY with one of the two com-
partments marked with «1» or «2» of the teeth, according to

two lower parts (11) and (12) using the upper levers (15) (pre-
viously removed from their respective holes), inserted in one
of the two holes (3) or (4) according to the desired final height.
To adjust the holding force, each lever (15) must be released
then tightened or loosened on its axle as much as is neces-
sary to ensure that the upper part (14) is firmly fastened to the
lower parts of the handle (11) and (12), without using exces-
sive force to lock or release them.
Fasten the cable (16) to the cable fasteners (17) and (18) as

1. COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
EN
The motor is controlled by a dual-action switch to pre-
vent accidental start ups.
Press the button (2) and pull the lever (1), or one of the two
levers (1a) for start up.
The motor will automatically stop when the lever (1) or both
levers (1a) are released.
The cutting height is adjusted by the specific lever (1).
DO THIS WHEN THE BLADE IS STOPPED.
NOTE
- This machine lets you mow lawn in different ways; be-
fore starting work, prepare the machine based on how the
lawn is to be mowed.
DO THIS WHEN THE MOTOR IS OFF.
Preparation for mowing and collection
in grass-catcher
– Lift the rear stone-guard (1) and fasten the grass-catcher (2)
correctly as shown in the illustration.
Preparation for mowing and rear
grass discharge
– Remove the grass-catcher and make sure that the rear
stone-guard (1) remains down stably.
Preparation for mowing and mulching
(if provided)
– Lift the rear stone-guard (1), fit the deflector cap (5) in the
outlet and push it down until the lower contour fastens
properly to the edge of the outlet.
To remove the deflector cap (5), lift the stone-guard (1) and
pull it, keeping it lifted so as to unfasten the lower contour
from the edge of the outlet.
Fasten the extension cable correctly as shown.
To start the motor, push the safety button (2) and pull the
switch lever (1) or one of the two levers (1a).
IMPORTANT -
When starting up the machine, there can be
momentary drops in voltage.
Make sure that its impedance is lower than 0.42 ohm to pre-
vent disturbances to other equipment connected to the power
supply.
While mowing, make sure the electric cable is always
behind you and on the side of the lawn that has already been
cut.
The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate cut-
ting in both directions at the same height.
• For mulching:
always avoid removing a large quantity of
grass.Never cut more than one third of the total grass height
