NOTE:
There are two start / stop levers fitted. Either one can be

1. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear any residual
grass, tilt your lawnmower slightly. [ Fig. F ]
2. Release the pressure on the start / stop lever.
How to use the mower:
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. [ Fig. J ]
2. Cut your grass twice a week during the growing season. Your lawn will
suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time.
CAUTION!
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 Adjusting the Cutting Height.
