of cutting to normal length straight away since
this will damage the lawn. Never cut the grass by
more than half its height.
6). Keep the underside of the mower casing
clean and remove all grass deposits from it.
Deposits make it more difficult to start the mower
and also adversely affect the mowing quality and
the grass discharge.
7). On slopes mow across the slope (not in up or
down direction). You can counteract the tendency
of the mower to slide down the slope by setting it
at an angle upwards.
8). Select the cutting height to suit the actual
length of the grass. Make several passes to
ensure that you do not remove more than 4 cm of
grass length in any one pass.
9). Switch off the motor before you carry out any
inspections of the blade. Remember than the
blade will continue to turn for a few seconds after
the motor has been switched off. Never attempt
to stop the blade.
10). Check regularly that the blade is correctly
secured, in good condition and well ground. If
not, grind or replace the blade. If the moving
blade strikes an object, stop the mower and wait
until the blade has come to a complete standstill.
Then check the condition of the blade and the
blade holder. If they are damaged, they must be
replaced.
11). Place the mains lead in loops on the ground
in front of the socket. Mow away from the socket
and cable and ensure that the mains lead is
always on the section of lawn that you have
already mowed so that you do not run over the
mains lead with the mower.

MAINTENANCE
1. SERVICING AND STORAGE (SEE FIG.H)
Servicing and cleaning work on the lawn mower
and the removal of the guards may only be
carried out after the motor has been switched off
and the plug disconnected from the power supply.
1). Do not clean the lawn mower when it is
running
2). Ensure that all the fastening elements
(screws, nuts, etc.) are tight at all times so that
you can work with the mower in safety.
3). Check the grass collection device frequently
for signs of wear. Replace worn or damaged
parts.
4). Store your lawn mower in a dry place. To
ensure it has a long life all the screw parts and
the wheels and axles should be cleaned and then
oiled.
5). Providing your lawn mower with regular care
will not only extend its life and performance but
also help you to mow your lawn properly and
easily.
6). Clean the lawn mower with a brush or cloth.
Do not use any solvents or water to remove dirt.
7). The component that is subject to most wear
is the blade. You should therefore check the
condition of the blade and its mounting at regular
intervals.
• If the blade is worn or blunt it must be replaced
or ground immediately.
• If the mower starts to suffer from excessive
vibrations, this means that the blade has
not been balanced correctly or has suffered
deformation due to impacts. In this case it must
be repaired or replaced.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the appliance is in safe working condition.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
2. REPLACING THE BLADE (SEE FIG I)
Always check the sharpness of blades before
cutting grass. If the blades are worn excessively
and becomes pitted or blunt they should be
replaced. The sharpness of the blade will affect
the performance of the lawn mower.
For safety reasons we recommend that the
blades will only be changed by persons
qualified and authorized to do so.
WARNING: Before replacing the blade,
wait for the mower to completely stop.
Mower blades continue to rotate after the
machine is switched off and a rotating blade
can cause injury. Wait until all machine
components have completely stopped before
touching them.
1) You will need garden gloves (not provided) and
a spanner/ wrench (not provided) to remove the
blade holder.
2) Hold the blade holder and unscrew the blade
bolt counterclockwise using a spanner /wrench.
Remove the blade bolt, retaining washer and the
blade.
3) Fit a new blade, locate the blade holder on
the studs on the blade flange and then refit the
washer and bolt. Make sure the blade is correctly
located, then firmly tighten the bolt. Do not over
tighten (Do not less than 45 N.m tight torque).
The upturned flute of the blade must face the
motor side of the deck so the blades can throw
the grass into the catcher. (Do not less than 45
N.m tight torque).
Always handle the blade with care-sharp
