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.
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.

How to Mow
To Start your Lawnmower
To ensure you have a secure connection between the
lawnmower and the extension cable we strongly recom-
mend you use the following method of attaching the
cable:
1. Plug the short connection lead into the socket of the
extension cable. (L1).
2. Form a loop in the end of the extension cable near to
the socket and secure this in the strain relief feature at
the top of the switchbox (L2). This will cause the
socket to hang in a downward direction. (L3)
3. Connect plug to mains and switch on.
4. Tilt the handle downwards to slightly raise the front of
the lawnmower and to reduce the risk of lawn damage
whilst starting.
The switchbox is provided with a lock-off button (M1) to
prevent accidental starting.
5. Press and hold the lock-off button (M1) on the switch-
box, then squeeze one of the Start/Stop levers towards
the upper handle (N).
6. Continue to squeeze the start/stop lever towards the
upper handle and release the lock-off button (P).
7. Lower the lawnmower to its proper operating position
and commence mowing.
• NOTE - There are two start/stop levers fitted. Either
one can be used for starting the lawnmower.
• IMPORTANT - Do not use the start/stop levers intermit-
tently
To Stop your Lawnmower
