4. As the motor picks up speed, the mower lifts on a
cushion of air, making it very light to handle and
extremely manoeuvrable.
5. To stop the motor, release pressure on both motor on/
off grips (4) until the power button (2) clicks off. The
mower sinks to the ground. The motor is not started
if pressure is re-applied to the motor on/off grips (4)
alone. It is necessary to squeeze a motor on/off grip (4)
and re-press the power button (2) to re-start the motor.
Emergency stop
• To stop the motor in an emergency, simply release the
pressure on both motor on/off grips.
• Keep your hands on the upper handle in order to control
the mower as it sinks to the ground.
• Allow the motor to stop completely before releasing
control of the handle.
Extension cord restraint
During use of the lawn mower the extension cord will
continually be pulled as you move from one area to
another. An extension cord
support has been provided on
the back of the switch box
to assist in preventing the
extension cord and the lawn
mower cord being forced apart.
Locate the rectangular cutout
section in the back of the
switch box.
Note. The support is for the
extension cord, not the lawn
mower cable.
Form a loop in the extension
cord about 300mm from
the socket of the extension
cord and slot it through the
rectangular section and over
the extension cord restraint
hook.
Twist the loop 180° and hook
the loop over the moulded
hook, pull tight to secure the
cable.
After, and only after the
extension cable is correctly
seated, plug the mower into the
socket of the extension cable.
Mowing
Warning. Only use this mower when a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than
30mA is in the circuit.
Notes.
• Cut grass when it is dry.
• Keep the mower blade sharp and balanced.
• Do not set the cutting height too low, especially at the
beginning of the mowing season.
• Vary the cutting pattern with each mowing.
• Use the cable restraint (3) to secure the power cable
(22) in order to prevent any pulling forces on the cable
from being transmitted to the switch box.
1. Make sure that the work area is free of rocks, debris,
string or cord and other foreign objects.
2. Tilt the mower to one side prior to starting. A short time
after switching on, the air cushion supports the weight
of the mower and it can be returned to a level position.
Failure to tilt the mower prior to starting will result in
the initial cut being very close to the ground.
3. Where possible, start the mower before approaching the
grass to be cut.
4. Cut the grass by moving in a straight line and proceed
slowly.
5. Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work
away from it to make it easier to avoid the cable.
6. At the edge of the lawn, take care to maintain the
mower parallel with the ground to prevent “scalping” of
the grass.
