b) Always stop the motor before removing
the grass catcher or adjusting the height of
cutting position.
1. Before mowing, remove all foreign
objects from the lawn which may be thrown
by the machine.
While mowing, stay alert for any foreign
objects which may have been missed.
(Fig.5A)
2. Never lift the rear of the mower while
starting the motor or during normal
operation. (Fig.5B)
3. Never place your hands or feel
underneath the underpan or into the rear
discharge chute while the motor is running.
(Fig.5C)
8. STARTING
8.1 STARTING
Before connecting up the lawn mower to the
electric power supply, make sure that the
mains supply voltage is 230-240V~ 50Hz.
Before start the lawn mower, fix the exten-
sion cord with the machine as the Fig.6A /
Fig.6B shown.
Start the motor as follows (Fig.6C)
a) Press the safety push-button (1).
b) and at the same time, pull the switch
handle
(2), to keep motor running, keep holding the
switch handle.
If you release the switch handle, the motor
will stop.
CAUTION! The blade starts turning as soon
as the motor is started.
WARNING! The blade will continue to rotate
after the motor is switch off.
8.2 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN
MOWING
Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is
clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign
objects which could be accidentally thrown
out by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and
others as well as damage to property and
surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass.
For effective mowing do not cut wet grass
because it tends to stick to the underside of
the deck preventing proper mowing of the
grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the
length of the grass. The recommended cut
for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass.
Fig. 6A
Fig. 6C
Fig. 6B

WARNING: if you strike a foreign object,
stop the motor. Pull out the mains plug, thor-
oughly inspect the mower for any damage
and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the mower. Extensive vibration of
the mower during operation is an indication
of damage. The unit should be promptly
inspected and repaired.
9. BLADE
The blade is made of pressed steel. It is al-
lowed to resharpen the blade with a grinding
wheel when necessary.
Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbal-
anced blade will cause dangerous vibra-
tions). To check for balance, insert a round
rod through the central hole and support
the blade horizontally. A balance blade will
remain horizontal. If the blade is not bal-
anced the heavy end will rotate downwards.
Resharpen the heavy end until the blade is
evenly balanced. To remove the blade (1),
unscrew the blade screw (2).
and replace any parts, which are damaged.
When reassembling, make sure that the cut-
ting edges face in the direction of the motor
rotation. The blade screw (2) must be torque
to 20N.m.
WARNING: Disconnect the electric cord
from the power supply.
WARNING: Protect hands by using heavy
gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades
when replace the blade.
10. EXTENSION CORDS
You should only use extension cords for
outdoor use, PVC ordinary duty with a cross
sectional area not less than 1.0mm²(not
lighter than H05VV-F 2x1.0mm2)
Before using, check the supply and exten-
sion cords for signs of damaged during use,
disconnect the cord for signs of damage or
aging. If the cord becomes damaged during
use, disconnect the cord from the supply
immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY. Do
not use the appliance if the cord is damaged
or worn. Keep extension cord away from
cutting elements.
Warning: Always ensure that the ventilation
openings are kept clear of debris.
11. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Warning: Before performing any Mainte-
nance or cleaning work, Always pull out the
mains plug!
Do not spray the unit with water. Water may
destroy the Switch-plug combination unit
