Residual risk
Even when all safety precautions are observed at work, there is still a potential risk of injury. Due to the product structure, the
following risks remain.
Injuries associated with vibrations caused by the device being operated for too long, work in an inappropriate way or with a poorly
maintained device.
Injuries caused by an unexpected hit from hidden, thrown items.
PRODUCT SERVICE
Preparation for operation
The product should be unpacked from its packaging and all packaging elements should be removed. It is recommended to keep
the packaging, which may be useful for transporting or storing the product.
Check whether any part of the product has been damaged during transport, any damage observed, e.g. cracks or deformations,
disqualify the product from further use until damaged parts are repaired or replaced.
It is recommended to place all parts on a fl at, hard and clean ground.
During assembly you should apply the personal protection equipment, such as protective gloves, eye shield, and protective suit.
Attention! Before installing the mower, make sure that the mower has not been connected to the power supply. The
power cable must be disconnected from the mower switch.
the lower part of the handle bracket should be inserted into the hole near the rear wheel and secured with the screws (II). Repeat
these operations on the other side of the mower housing. Adjust the upper part of the handle bracket to the lower parts and con-
nect with screws and knobs (III). The knobs should be directed to the outside of the handle bracket. The upper part of the handle
bracket should be connected to the middle part with a toothed connection, which will allow you to adjust the height of the handle,
the handle should be directed upwards. The bracket is equipped with two toothed couplings on each side. Join the connector
halves so they latch, and then secure the position by clamping the levers on both sides of the bracket (IV).
The levers pressure level can be adjusted by tightening them (by increasing the pressure) or unscrewing them (by decreasing the
pressure) after opening (V). The levers should be tightened with such a force, that they will not open automatically during work,
and the handle will not change its position.
Attention! You should ensure that the handle is always parallel to the ground.
Fasten the switch cable to the handle bracket with a clamp (VI). The position of the bracket should be adjusted that the cable will
not be strained, but at the same time, it will not protrude too much from the bracket. A cable that is too protrusive can catch an
obstacle (eg a bush) during operation, which may be the cause of its damage and constitute a risk of electric shock.
Mount the basket handle to the top wall of the basket using screws (VII).
Turn over the top cover and fi x the frame of the fl exible part of the basket (VII) with screws and washers. The fl exible part of the
basket should be attached to the frame and the top wall of the basket. The front edge of the elastic part has clamps, which should
be put on the frame (IX). The upper edge of the elastic part has stiff ening and latches, which should be fi xed in the holes of the
upper wall of the basket (X).
Grab the basket by the handle and lift it, checking the correctness of assembly (XI).
Mount the grass basket to the mower housing. Raise the cover of the outlet opening, hold the lid in its maximum upper position
and mount the basket on the hooks on the back wall of the mower housing (XII). Leave the lid so that it covers the hole in the
upper wall of the basket (XIII).
Disassembly of the basket can be carried out in reverse order.
The mower with the mounted basket is ready for operation.
Setting the cutting height (XIV)
The mower has been equipped with a lever, which allows changing the cutting height in an easy and fast way. The lever should be
moved to the side, sliding it out of the guide socket. Then you should move it forward or back and after setting the desired height,
move the lever to the side, blocking its position in the guide slot.
Moving the lever towards the front of the mower will increase the cutting height, and moving in the opposite direction reduces the
cutting height.
Warning! If it is necessary to change the height during operation, you should always switch off the mower fi rst, wait for the knife
to stop, disconnect the mower from the power cord and then start working on changing the cutting height. Accidental operation of
the knife during a height setting can result in serious injury.
Connecting the mower to the power supply
The mower is not equipped with a traditional plug attached to the power cable. The plug is rigidly attached to the switch, therefore,
a mower with a mains socket must be connected by using an external cable. Due to the nature of the mower work, you should
always use cables designed for outdoor operation. The power cable should have a single socket that matches the plug in the
