2. WORK MODE DIAL (See Fig. F)
Status1: QUIET mode
Select QUIET mode when mowing in everyday
conditions, removing approximately 20mm of grass
at a time.
Status2: TURBO mode
Set the dial to TURBO mode when cutting dense or
overgrown grass.
3. BATTERY STATUS LED’S (See Fig. G)
NOTE: The Status LED’s will indicate the
battery condition when the button on the
battery is pressed.
The LED’s constantly senses and displays the battery
condition as follows:
Press the button “POWERTEST”, the light button is
illuminated.
When the three green lights are illuminated, the
battery is in a highly charged condition.
When two lights ( ) are illuminated, the battery is
in a moderately charged condition.
When only one green light ( ) is illuminated, the
battery charge is depleted.
Before using your new mower for the first time, it is
recommended that the unit be charged overnight to
ensure that the battery is fully charged.
IMPORTANT
When only one light is illuminated, your
battery is overly discharged, even though
the mower may still be capable of cutting
grass. Continuing to operate your lawnmower
with the battery in this discharged condition
may reduce the life and performance of your
battery.
4. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig. H)
WARNING! Stop, release switch lever and wait
until the motor stops before adjusting height.
The blades continue to rotate after the machine is
switched off, a rotating blade can cause injury.
CAUTION: Do not touch rotating blades.
For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting
adjustment should be selected. The lawnmower can
be set to 5 cutting heights between 20mm and 60mm.
For this purpose, move the cutting height adjustment
lever outwards then adjust to the preferred position..
5. GRASS BAG FILLING INDICATOR (See Fig. I)
To remind you immediately to empty when the grass
collection bag is full, the mower provides an indicator
on the top of bag to show the collection status. And

6. REAR DISCHARGE (See Fig. J)
The mower provides a rear discharge function, so that
you can mower without bag collection. The debris will
be discharged from the rear chute.
7. MOWING TIPS
NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE MOWER
IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES,
STICKS, WIRE, METAL AND OTHER DEBRIS
WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE ROTATING
BLADE.
1. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep
slopes. Always maintain good footing.
2. Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” when
crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown
by the blade).
3. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing
in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too
much grass at one time can cause circuit breaker to
trip, which stops mower.
4. If a grass bag is used during the fast growing
season, the grass may tend to clog up at the
discharge opening. Release switch lever to turn
mower “OFF” and remove the safety key. Remove
the grass bag and shake the grass down to the
back end of the bag. Also clean out any grass or
debris which may be packed around the discharge
opening. Replace the grass collection bag.
5. If mower should start to vibrate abnormally,
release switch lever to turn mower “OFF” and
remove safety key. Check immediately for cause.
Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate
mower until a service check has been made.
6. ALWAYS RELEASE SWITCH LEVER TO TURN
MOWER “OFF” AND REMOVE SAFETY KEY WHEN
LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stop the mower and remove the
safety key before removing the grass bag.

NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service, perform
the following maintenance procedures regularly.
Check for obvious defects such as a loose, dislodged
or a damaged blade, loose fittings, 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 maintenance, please
call our customer helpline for advice.
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING,
SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE
THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season
is usually sufficient under normal circumstances.
Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn
has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be
required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade,
removing equal amounts of material from both
ends.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See Fig. K)
1. Be sure the switch lever is released, the blade
has stopped and the safety key removed before
removing the blade.
2. Remove blade from mower. See instructions for
removing and attaching blade.
3. Secure blade K-1 in a vise K-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to cut
yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a
fine tooth file K-3 or sharpening stone.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for blade
balancing.
7. Replace blade on mower and tighten securely.
Refer to instructions below.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. L)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade
L-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank L -2, clamped
horizontally in a vise L-3. If either
end of the blade rotates downward, file that end.
Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.

cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely
tighten the blade bolt (14).
STORAGE: (See Fig. N1N2 )
Stop the mower and always remove the safety key.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using
a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from
the ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area.
