Starting and Stopping
To Start your Lawnmower

back of the switchbox.
2. Connect plug to mains and switch on.

the lawnmower and to reduce the risk of lawn
damage whilst starting.
The switchbox is provided with a lock-off button
(K1) to prevent accidental starting.
4. Press and hold the lock off button on the
switchbox,(K1) then squeeze the Start/Stop lever
towards the upper handle as shown on Fig. L.
5. Continue to squeeze the start/stop lever towards the
upper handle and release the lock-off button.(M)
6. Lower the lawnmower to its proper operating position
and commence mowing.
To Stop your Lawnmower
1. Release the pressure on the Start/Stop lever.
How to Mow
1. For the best results, mow the outside edge of the
lawn in a clockwise direction first.(N1)
2. Then 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. (N2)
3. For best grass collection, always mow in a straight line,
do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.
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.
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.

air intakes, the discharge chute and the grass box.
3. Remove the blade, see Figure P, to gain access to
the fan and clean with a soft brush.
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
solvents - 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. Make sure that the electric cable is coiled properly.
