of reach of children. If the housing of the mower requires cleaning, do not use
solvents but a moist soft cloth and brush only.

WARNING!
ALWAYS ENSURE THE LAWN MOWER
BLADE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, REMOVE SAFETY
KEY, BATTERY AND GRASS CATCHER PRIOR TO ANY
MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION!

5. MOWING
OPERATION
•
While using your lawn mower always wear substantial
closed, heavy 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.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT MOW WITH POOR VISIBILITY
CONDITIONS, IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GRASS IS WET.
Start mowing the edge of the
lawn and work along making
sure to overlap each pass by a
few centimetres.
For optimum grass collection,
always mow in a straight line;
do not swing the lawn mower
from side to side.
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.
