To adjust the handle angle, follow the instruction below:
1. Power off and unplug the lawn mower.
2. Loosen the lower handle knobs on both sides, and rotate
the handle assemble to your desired angle (Fig. 7).
NOTE: There's an indicator system located next to each
of the two gears that helps to quick-set the handle. The
indicator system marked the storage position, the hanging
position, a high position and a low position. To quick-set
the handle, align one of the arrows on the gear to the
desired position indicator (Fig. 8).
3. Make sure that the gears of the handle angle adjustment
system are snapped in, and then tighten the lower handle
knobs (Fig. 8).

Do not switch on the lawn mower until it has been completely
assembled. Before switching on the unit, always check the
appliance cord and the extension cord for signs of damage.
Use only intact cords.

WARNING!

Replace damaged cords immediately.

WARNING!
Before switching on the lawn mower, make
sure that it is not in contact with any foreign objects. Keep
your hands and feet a safe distance away from the rotating
mower blade and the ejector opening. Failure to comply with
these warnings can result in severe personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the lawn mower in tall grass.
1. Place the unit on a level lawn surface.
2. Push a loop of the extension cord through the slot on the
extension cord restraint holder from the opposite side and
around the cord restraint hook. Insert the appliance cord
into the extension cord (Fig. 9).

NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into the outlet until it
had been secured with the extension cord restraint holder and
connected to the lawn mower's appliance cord. Only use a
UL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use. Do not
use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m). See Extension Cord
Chart on page 2.
3. Place the bulk of the extension cord on the lawn closest to
the starting point.
4. Before starting the lawn mower, hold the soft grip with
both hands and tilt the handle downward to slightly raise
the front of the lawn mower. This will reduce the risk of
lawn damage during start-up (Fig. 10).
