Mowing Advice
Operating Instructions & Tips
Cut your grass twice a week during the growing season,your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its
length is cut at one time.
Keep the under side 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 collection.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any inspections of the blade. Remember that the blade will
continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never attempt to stop the
blade.
The cutting system must be kept in good condition and inspected before and after use. Switch off
the motor before you carry out any inspections of the cutting system. Remember that the blade will
continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never attempt to stop the
blade.
Check the blade for wear and replace when necessary. Blades should have a good cutting edge. The
shape of the blade should be identical on each cutting end, any dents, bends or twists due to impacts
can alter the balance of the blade and increase vibration.
Place the mains lead in loops on the ground near the wall 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.
If you see the grassbox is full whilst you are mowing, you should stop the mower and empty the
grassbox.
IMPORTANT
!
Before you remove the grassbox, switch off the motor and wait until the blade reaches
a complete standstill.
If any grass drops onto the ground you need move the mower away from the area to make it easier to
re-start the motor.
Do not remove grass cuttings in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead
use a suitable tool such as a soft hand brush. To ensure efficient grass collection the grass collector
should be cleaned after use. This will ensure the air is able to flow freely through it for best grass
collection performance.
Only fit the grassbox when the motor is switched off and the cutting head is not moving.
