Removing and Fitting the Blade
Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage
1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly and
with a 13mm socket loosen the blade bolt by turning it
anti-clockwise.
NOTE:
A piece of timber will assist in holding the blade
while removing or tightening the blade bolt.
2. Remove the blade bolt, washer and blade.
3. To fit the blade, place the blade over the centre hole aligning the lugs.
4. Tighten the blade bolt firmly with a 13mm socket by turning it clockwise. Do not overtighten.
TIMBER
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the lawn mower is in a safe working condition.
• Check the catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Only use the replacement blade and blade bolt specified for this product.
• Be careful during adjustments of the lawn mower to prevent entrapment of the fingers between
moving blade and fixed parts of the machine.
• When not in use, the mower should be stored in a dry, frost-free location, out of reach of
children. If the housing of the mower requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft
cloth and brush only.
• Frequently check the wheel threads are firm and tight.

WARNING!
ALWAYS ENSURE THE LAWN MOWER
BLADE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, REMOVE
SAFETY KEY, BATTERY AND GRASS CATCHER PRIOR
TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION!
ALWAYS USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING
THE BLADE. SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE INJURY.
Replace the metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever
is sooner. If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new
one.
5. MOWING
OPERATION
• While using your lawn mower always wear substantial closed, heavy
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.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT MOW WITH POOR VISIBILITY
CONDITIONS, IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GRASS IS
WET.
Start mowing the edge of the lawn and
work along making sure to overlap each
pass by a few centimetres.
For optimum grass collection, always
mow in a straight line; do not swing
the lawn mower from side to side.
When mowing long grass be sure to
not overload the motor. First cut with
the highest cutting height and then
to the desired height. This will help
reduce the load.
