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. (S)

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.

Switch off, wait until the blade has stopped rotating and

disconnect from the mains electricity supply BEFORE

attempting to remove or refit the blade.

Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could

cause injury. USE GLOVES.

Removing the Blade

1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly with a

gloved hand and with a spanner, loosen the blade bolt

by turning it anti-clockwise (S).

2. Remove the blade bolt, washer and blade.(S)

3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.

4. In the event of a blade becoming difficult to remove,

insert a screwdriver (T1) into the hole (T2) to lock the

drive, then use a spanner (13mm A/F) to loosen the

blade bolt by turning the spanner anti-clockwise.

Ensure the screwdriver is removed before atempting to

turn on the machine.

Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years

whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If the

blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.

Fitting the Blade

1. Fit the blade to the shaft with the sharp edges of the

blade pointing away from the shaft and you are able to

read the text on the blade 'This side to grass'

blade.

blade bolt firmly with a spanner . Do not over tighten.
