Warning: Blade continues to rotate after the machine
is switch off . Wait until all machine components have
completely stopped before touching them.
Mowing
(fi g. E)
For cutting convenience, it may be best to start mowing
at a point close to the power supply and to work your way
away from the supply. Mow the lawn at a right angle from
the power supply and place the power cable to side which
has already been cut (E).
Warning: 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 becomes jammed or if the
motor is overloaded. When this occurs, stop the machine
and remove the plug from the power supply. The safety
cut out will only reset when the switch lever 10 is relea-
sed. Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes for
the safety cut out to reset before continuing to mow At
this time do not operate the switch lever 10 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.
Maintenance
Warning: Stop the mower and remove the plug
from the power supply before remove the grass
box.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the
following maintenance regularly:
Check for obvious defects such as a loose, dislodged or
a damaged blade, loose fi ttings, and worn or damaged
components.
Check that the covers and guards are all undamaged and
are correctly attached to mower.
Carry out any necessary maintenance or repairs before
operating mower.
If the mower should happen to fail despite regular mainte-
nance, please call our service helpline for advice.
Warning: Make sure to turn to professional
maintenance agency when replacing the blade.
Warning: Never carry out any assembly opera-
tions or adjustments with the power connected
to the mower. Always ensure that the power but-
ton is in the off position and that the power plug
is disconnected from the supply.

brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes.
