OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
NOTE! Stop, release switch lever and wait until the motor
stops before adjusting height. The blades continue to rotate
for a few seconds after the machine is switched off, a
rotating blade can cause injury.
For the first cut of the season, a high cutting adjustment
should be selected.
1. Move the cutting height adjustment lever sideways, to
disengage it from the locking notch.
2. Pull the lever backwards to lower the cut height. Push
forwards to raise the cut height. (Fig. 7)
3. Release the lever in the required position, ensuring that it
locks firmly into one of the five notched settings.

STARTING AND STOPPING
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.

point.
(Fig. 4)
Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at the end
of each turn.
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.
HEAVY GROWTH
1. Areas of heavy growth should be mown without collecting the
clippings.

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.
MAINTENANCE
For the first cut of the season, a high cutting adjustment
should be selected.
