Safety Cut-Out
The Motor is protected by a Safety Cut-Out which is
activated when the blade becomes jammed or if the
motor is overloaded. When this occurs, stop and
remove the plug from the power supply. The Safety
Cut-Out will only reset when the start/stop lever is
released. Clear any obstruction and wait for a few
minutes for the Safety Cut-Out to reset before
continuing to use the mower.
How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season,
your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its
length is cut at one time.
Do Not Overload Your Mower
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
lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing
in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set
higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height
Adjustment.

To ensure you have a secure connection between the
lawnmower and the extension cable we strongly recommend
you use the following method of attaching the cable:
1. Plug the short connection lead into the socket of the
extension cable.
(K)
.
2. Form a loop in the end of the extension cable near to
the socket and secure this in the strain relief feature
at the top of the switchbox
(L, M)
This will cause the
socket to hang in a downward direction.
If the short connection lead is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
