For non grass collection the mower can be used without the collector in position, with the deflector guard in the
down position.
Setting the working depth (Fig,A9)

blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched off, a rotating blade can cause
injury
For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting adjustment should be selected.
You machine has five settings that result to the following cutting heights.
Ⅰ=25mm Ⅱ=35mm Ⅲ=45mm Ⅳ=60mm Ⅴ=75mm
Important! The front and back wheels must be set to the same height.

Do not rapidly switch off and on.
starting:
1. Press and hold the safety button 1.
2.Squeeze the switch lever 2 towards the handle.
3.Release the safety button 1.
Stopping:
Release the switch lever 2.
Mowing :
Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as close to the power point as possible. Work away from
the power point
Position the cable to opposite side(already cut)at the end of each turn.
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, remove the plug from the power supply.
The safety cut out will only reset when the switch lever 2 is released. Clear any obstruction and wait
for a few minutes for the safety cut out to reset before continuing to use the mower. At this time do not
operate the switch lever 2 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.
