OPERATION

CABLE CLEAT

The power supply cable should be inserted and looped 

around the Cable cleat, this will remove any strain being 

placed on the Switch control unit.  

NOTE: 

The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds 

after the machine is switched off. Allow the motor/blade to 

stop rotating before switching “on” again. Do not rapidly 

switch off and on.  

STARTING AND STOPPING (Fig. 4, 5)

Starting:

1. Set the mower to the required ‘cutting height’.

2. Press the safety button (2).

3. Squeeze the switch lever (1) towards the handle. 

4. Release the safety button. 

Stopping:

Release the switch lever.

WARNING! 

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.    

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. 

1. Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting 

    the clippings.
2. If collection is required, firstly mow the area using the 

    maximum cutting height setting, without the grass collection 

    bag attached.
3. Allow the clippings to dry out.
4. Attach the grass collection bag and mow the area, again 

    using the maximum cutting height setting.
5. Progressively lower the cutting height setting and mow the 

    area again until the required finish is obtained.   

NOTE! 

To prevent damage to the grass, do not remove 

more than one third of the grass’s height on any one cut.

NOTE! 

When the blade becomes jammed or if the motor is 

overloaded, remove the plug from the power supply.

Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes before 

continuing to use the mower.  

HEAVY GROWTH

MAINTENANCE

SAFETY

Before any inspection, maintenance or cleaning of the 

mower is conducted.

for inspection or cleaning.

BEORE EACH USE

      height adjustment lever, the air filter in the cowl and the 

      underside of the mower deck.
