3. HOW TO MOW
1. Press and hold the lock-off
button.
•
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for power
input of this tool.
•
Heavy duty power leads recommended not exceding 25m.
• While using your lawn mower always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers.
•
Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and
debris; they could be thrown by the blade.
•
Before using the lawn mower and after any impact, check
for signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.
• Replace a worn or damaged blade together with the blade
bolt to preserve balance.
To prevent accidental start up of the motor the mower is fitted
with a dual action switch
Switching On/Off
Start mowing the edge of the
lawn nearest to the power point
so the lead is laid out on the
lawn you have already cut.
For optimum grass collection, always mow in a straight line;
do not swing the lawn mower from side to side.
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 lawn mower, which may cause
damage. When mowing in long thick grass first cut with the
cutting height set in the highest position, this will help reduce
the load.
Do Not Overload the Mower

Overload Protection
The mower has an internal cut off switch which will stop the
operation of the motor temporarily if too high in temperature.
This cut off switch will suddenly stop the motor from operating
should the motor become too hot during the operation of the
mower.
First disconnect the mower from the power supply and inspect
blade for any obstructions.
A wait of 10 minutes in cooling time, or longer depending on
ambient temperature and the operation being performed,
before switching On the mower and resuming normal
operation.
When mowing long
grass be sure to not
overload the motor. First
cut with the highest
cutting height and then
to the desired height.
This will help reduce the
load.
