SYMBOLS
The following symbols are displayed on the ma-
chine in order to remind you about the safety pre-
cautions and attention necessary when using the
machine.
The symbols mean:
Warning! Read the Instruction Book and
Safety Manual before using the machine.
Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware of
objects being flung out.
Warning! Before starting any repair work,
disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Warning! Keep the extension cord away
from the blade.
Warning! Do not put hands or feet under the
cover of the machine when it is running.
Warning! The blade continue to rotate even
after the machine has been switched off.
STOP
IMPORTANT
Equipment marked with an asterisk (*) is included
as standard equipment only for certain models or
specific country versions.
ASSEMBLING
STEERING
Fold up the handle. By tightly screwing the lower
part of the handle into the steering sockets' lower or
upper holes (A or B), the steering height can be
adapted to suit the operator (fig. 1).
Tighten the locking knobs to fix the upper part of the
handle (fig. 2).

ENGLISH
GRASS COLLECTOR
Assemble the grass collector (fig. 3). Open the cov-
er and place the grass collector in the ejector open-
ing on the mower.
Note! The lawn mower can be used without the
grass collector. The grass will then collect in a bead
behind the machine.
USING THE MOWER
CONNECTING
Connect the machine to an earthed, single phase
electric socket. The circuit must be protected by a
10A slow fuse.
Always use an earthed, rubber covered extension
lead. Use a high quality lead designed for outdoor
use. The socket fitted to the lead must be of the wa-
terproof type. The conductor area must be at least 3
x 1.5 mm².
Check that the extension cable is not damaged, each
time before using the machine. The machine may
not be used if the extension cable is damaged. Re-
lieve the extension cable in the load relief unit on the
steering handle (fig. 7).
We recommend that you use a residual current cir-
cuit breaker (RCB) previously known as earth leak-
age circuit breaker. It will cut off the power if
anything happens to the machine or the extension
lead. If you use a portable RCB this must be fitted
between the electric socket and the extension
lead.Test the operation of the RCB before use.
If uncertain, contact your retailer.
START/STOP OF MOTOR
Keep hands and feet well away from the
rotating blade(s). Never put your hand
or foot under the blade casing or in the
grass evacuation unit while the motor is
running.
When starting up the motor, press the handlebar to
lift the front wheels and in that way reduce the re-
sistance from the grass at the starting moment.
Do not engage and dis-engage the motor repeatedly
since this will build up heat because of the high cur-
rent when starting, and this could, consequently,
cause motor damages.
Press the block button 1. Start the motor by pressing
in the starter grip 2 against the handle bar (fig. 4).
Release the starter grip to stop the motor.
