Double Insulation
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools,
which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded
power cord.
All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal
motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated
tools do not need to be grounded.

12
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualied technician.
Electrical Connection
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 220-240V~50 Hz, AC
only (normal household current). Do not operate this product
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
Extension Cords
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power.
Before you connect the mower to the mains supply make
sure that data on the rating plate are identical to the mains
data. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING
General Operation
Check the product, its power cord and accessories for damage before each use. Before use,
ensure all power connections are in good working order prior to operation. If damage is present or
observed, stop and have mower serviced before use. Do not use the product if it is damaged.
■ Double check that the blade is properly installed.
■ Always hold the product by its handles. Keep the handle dry to ensure safe support.
■ Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft
brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
■ Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other people entering
the working area.

19
OPERATION
■ Always let the product come to complete stop before removing the grass collection bag/
mulching plug.
■ Always keep the power cord behind you and when you turn, move it to the side that has already
been mowed.
■ Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and
have full control over the product.
Mowing (See Fig. 11)
■ Avoid cutting the power cord. It is advised to mow away from the plug socket and avoid twisting
the power cord (Fig. 11). Mow at a normal walking pace and always overlap tracks by a few
centimetres for a gap-free nish.
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the
lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any
direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■ To reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the lawn mower from the power cord, be sure to use
the cord retainer provided.
■ When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a
proper discharge of the clippings.
■ Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass for a healthy lawn. If it is
roughly 6cm long, the grass should not be shorter than 4cm once mowed. If the grass is higher,
you should gradually cut it down to the desired length so as not to damage the grass. Cutting
grass that is too long will result in poor collection performance and may overload the motor.
■ Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underbody of the lawn mower, preventing
the proper discharge of grass clippings resulting in poor collection performance.
■ Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that can result in severe injury.
Mowing on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your
safety, do not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be
tripped over or thrown by the blade.
■ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you
are losing your balance, release the switch lever immediately.
■ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.

20
MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
■ Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust. Avoid using
solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean, dry cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
■ Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness to ensure safe operation of the mower.
