Place the lawnmower on the edge of the
lawn, as close to the power point as possible.
Work away from the power point. Then at
right angles. (see figure
)
Position the cable to opposite side (already
cut) at the end of each turn.
When mowing
do not allow the motor to
labour
particularly in heavy conditions.
When the motor labours the speed of
the motor drops and you will hear a
change in the motor sound, when this
occurs stop mowing, release the switch
lever and
raise the height of cut
. Failure
to do so could damage the machine.
NOTE:
The motor is protected by a safety cut
out which is activated when the blade be-
comes jammed or if the motor is overloaded.
When this occurs stop, remove the plug from
the power supply. The safety cut out will only
reset when the switch lever 1 is released.
Clear any obstruction and wait for a few min-
utes for the safety cut out to reset before con-
tinuing to use the mower. At this time do not
operate the switch lever 1 as this will prolong
the reset time of the safety cut out. If the
mower cuts out again increase the height of
cut to reduce the load on the motor.
Suffolk Punch E34 only:
The collection indicator

during normal op-
eration will be in the raised position. When the
grassbox needs emptying or the chute
area

on the underside of the mower is
blocked and requires cleaning, the indicator
will drop. (see figure
)
Stop, remove plug from the power sup-
ply and remove the grassbox.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service,
carry out the following maintenance regu-
larly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as
a loose, dislodged or damaged blade, loose
fixings, and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undam-
aged and correctly fitted. Carry out neces-
sary maintenance or repairs before using.
If the mower should happen to fail despite
the care taken in manufacture and testing,
repair should be carried out by a Atco-Qual-
cast Approved Service Agent.
