Release the start/stop lever (1) to stop the mower.

The mower is fitted with a blade brake, this safety feature stops the blade from
rotating within a few seconds.
mowing tips
While using your lawn mower always wear substantial 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.
do not overload the 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 lawn mower, which may cause damage. When
mowing in long thick grass first cut with the cutting height set in the highest
position, this will help reduce the load. ALWAYS HANDLE THE BLADE WITH
CARE – SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. USE GLOVES.
