1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the

power point so that the cable is laid out on the lawn

you have already cut (T).

2. Mow twice a week in the growing season, your lawn

will suffer if more that one third of its length is cut at

one time and this may also result in poor collection.

Please Note

Do not overload your Lawnmower

When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the

cutting height adjusted to its highest setting, (see

Cutting Height Adjustment), will help reduce motor

overload and will help prevent damage to your lawn-

mower.

Removing the Blade and Fan

1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the fan firmly and

with the spanner provided loosen the blade bolt by

turning it anti-clockwise (U).

2. Remove the blade bolt, blade, and fan.

3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.

Fitting the Blade and Fan

1. Ensure the fan is located correctly (V).

2. Fit the blade to the fan with the sharp edges pointing

away from the fan.

3. Re-assemble blade bolt through blade and fan.

4. Hold the fan firmly and tighten blade bolt firmly with

a spanner. Do not over tighten.

Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges

could cause injury. USE GLOVES. 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. Never use a blade bolt if the insulated

head is damaged cracked or missing.

Cleaning (W, X, Y)

USE GLOVES

all air intakes, the discharge chute and the grass

box.

3. Remove the blade to gain access to the fan and

clean with a soft brush.(Y)

4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry

cloth.

IMPORTANT

Never use water for cleaning your lawnmower. Do

not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or sol-

vents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.

At the End of the Mowing Season

1. Replace blade, bolts, nuts or screws, if necessary.

2. Clean your lawnmower thoroughly.

3. Ask your local Service Centre to clean the air filter

thoroughly and carry out any service or repairs

required.

4. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.

Storing your Lawnmower

Store in a dry place where your lawnmower is protected

from damage.
