the slot as illustrated in picture (D)
3. To secure, position loop over the hook and pull the

the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut. (H2)
3. For best grass collection always mow in a straight
line, do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.

safe operating condition.;
-
if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally.
Check immediately. Excessive vibration can cause
injury.
Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
lawnmower is in safe working condition.
2. Check the grassbox/grassbag frequently for wear or
deterioration.
3. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
4. Only use the replacement blade, blade bolt, spacer
and impeller specified for this product.

prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.

lower it onto the lawn.
•

To Stop your Lawnmower
1. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear
any residual grass in the collection chute, tilt your
lawnmower slightly (F).
2. Release the pressure on the Start/Stop lever.
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 Adjusting the Cutting Height.
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.
1. Remove the blade bolt, and blade as described in
Removing the Blade and Fan.
2. For a Lower Cut - Add spacers to a maximum of 3.
3. For a Higher Cut - Take spacers away.
4. Refit the blade as described in Fitting the Blade
and Fan.
