How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already
cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time
and this may also result in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor
speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first
cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height Adjustment.
Thermal Cut-Out
The Motor is protected by a Thermal Cut-Out which is activated when the blade becomes jammed or if the motor is
overloaded. When this occurs, stop and remove the plug from the power supply. The Thermal Cut-Out will only reset
when the start/stop lever is released. Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes for the Thermal Cut-Out to reset
before continuing to use the mower.
