How to Mow
S
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. (S)
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 mow-
ing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting
height set higher will help reduce the load. See
Cutting Height Adjustment.
The Motor is protected by a Safety Cut-Out which is activated when the blade becomes jammed or if the
motor is overloaded. When this occurs, stop and remove the plug from the power supply. The Safety Cut-
Out will only reset when the start/stop lever is released. Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes
for the Safety Cut-Out to reset before continuing to use the mower.
