GB Disposal of your old appliance

1. When this crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is attached to a product it means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.
2. All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.
3. The correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
4. For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Read all of this manual carefully, observing all the recommended safety instructions before, during and after using your mower, and maintain your mower in good working order.

Familiarise yourself with the controls on your mower before attempting to operate it, but above all, be sure you know how to stop your mower in an emergency.

Retain this user manual and all other literature supplied with your mower for future reference.

2) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TRAINING

• Never allow children or persons who are unfamiliar with this type of mower to use it, nor anyone who has not read this user manual.
  Do not allow children, animals or other persons near your mower when in use - always keep them at least 6m (20ft) away from the cutting area.
• Remember that the operator is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• Your mower is designed for use on AC (mains) electrical supplies only - do not attempt to use it on any other supply.
• Use a power cable H05 RN-F or H05 VV-F or greater, with minimum cross section of 2 × 1.5 ~mm^2 and max length of 20 ~m .
• Plug your mower into a power point - never a lighting socket.
• Never carry your mower by the cable

or jerk the cable to separate the connectors. Keep the cable away from heat sources, oils or sharp edges. Check the condition of your cable before use and do not use if damaged.

PREPARATION

• To protect your feet, always wear stout shoes or boots - freshly cut grass is damp and slippery.
  Rubber or man-made footwear will enhance your safety.
• Do not operate your mower barefoot or in open sandals.
• Use protective equipment. Wear safety spectacles or goggles whilst operating your mower. Use ear protection if the sound level seems uncomfortable when using your mower.
  Use a face mask if dusty.
• Wear long trousers to protect your legs - any debris left on the lawn or cutting path may be picked up and ejected by the blade.
• The power supply cable should be regularly inspected for signs of damage or ageing, and only used if in good condition.
  Always keep the power supply cable away from the blades - be aware of its position at all times.
  Always be sure your mower is in a safe operating condition.

Before using your mower, disconnect it from the electrical supply and visually check that the blade, blade nut and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. A damaged blade or worn blade nut is a major hazard and must be replaced. Also check that the blade nut is securely fastened.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

• Always check that your lawn or cutting path is clear of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris. Contact with such debris may be dangerous as it may damage your mower and could be thrown by the blade.

OPERATION

• When tilting the handle downwards to start your mower, do not tilt it more than is absolutely necessary. Always ensure that both hands are in the operating position and feet are well away from the blades before returning your mower to the ground.

Your mower will continue to run for a short time after releasing the switch lever. Always allow your mower to stop on its own.

• Release the switch lever to turn your mower off and remove the plug from the mains:

• Whenever you leave your mower unattended.
  Before checking, cleaning, adjusting or working on your mower.
  Before clearing a blockage.
  If your mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
  After striking a foreign object, inspect your mower for damage and make repairs as necessary.

• Never run your mower whilst lying on its side or attempt to stop the blade - always allow it to stop on its own.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
• Keep clear of discharge openings at all times.
• Start your mower carefully according to the instructions and with your feet

well away from the blade.

• Do not use your mower in the rain and do not allow it to get wet. Avoid using your mower in wet grass, if possible.
• Use your mower only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Do not pull your mower towards you or walk backwards when in operation.
• Do not cross gravel paths or roads whilst the blade is rotating.
  Always be sure of your footing, particularly on slopes.
• Always cut across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
• Do not cut excessively steep slopes and always wear non-slip footwear.
• Check the grassbag/box for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
• Never use your mower without the grassbag/box in place.
• Walk, never run. Do not force your mower.
• Never pick up or carry your mower while the motor is running.
• Ensure the blade has stopped rotating and take extreme care before lifting your mower for and during transportation.
• Never operate your mower with defective guards or shields.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Store your mower in a dry place when not in use, out of the reach of children.
• Do not use solvents or cleaning fluids to clean your mower - use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt. Always disconnect from the electrical supply before cleaning.
• Do not operate your mower if any parts

are defective; discard all defective parts and fit new parts before use.
- Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure your mower is in a safe working condition.

Your mower is double insulated. This means that all external metal parts are electrically isolated from the power supply. This is achieved by placing an extra insulation barrier between the electrical and mechanical parts. Double insulation means greater electrical safety and obviates the necessity of having your mower earthed.

4) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Always switch the appliance off before disconnecting any plug, socket or extension.

Increased safety can be obtained by having a qualified electrician install a high sensitivity (30mA) circuit breaker in the house wiring. If you do not have such a circuit breaker installed, or you do not wish to have one installed, then we strongly recommend that the electrical power to your mower be supplied through a high sensitivity (30mA) residual current device (RCD). The RCD is designed to provide a high degree of personal protection against harmful electric current should fault conditions occur.

Warning! The use of an RCD or other circuit breaker unit does not release the operator of your mower from the

safety instructions and safe working practices given in this manual.

5) HANDLE ASSEMBLY (FIG. B & C)

• Fit the lower supports (9) in the two holes in the machine body and fasten them with the screws provided.
• Join the upper grip (8) to the lower supports (9) by means of the wing nuts and bolts provided.

6) HEIGHT OF CUT ADJUSTMENT (FIG. D)

Warning! Disconnect your mower from the electrical supply before making any adjustment and allow the blade to stop rotating. Cutting blades are sharp.

The wheels are already pre-mounted. To select a height of cut, move the wheels (4) into the slot required using the spring system (21). To ensure an even cut, please make sure that all four wheels are placed in the same position.

7) GRASSBOX ASSEMBLY (FIG. E)

Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this manual before using this accessory.

• The grass collection basket consists of a plastic and cloth container (18) supported by a "U" rod (19) which must be put together before fitting to the

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

machine body.

To assemble the grass collection basket proceed as follows:

• Fit the support rod in the specific holes in the plastic cover (Fig. E1).
• Fasten the elastic profiles stitched to the cloth onto the "U" rod (Fig. E2).

Fitting the grassbox to your mower:

• Raise the spring loaded rear door, move the basket up to the machine body and fasten it on to the coupling hooks (Fig. E3).
• Release the rear door so the basket is fastened in position.

Removing the grassbox from your mower:

The full basket can be moved by raising the door (5) and freeing the basket from its support.

8) HOW TO USE YOUR MOWER (FIG. F, G & H)

Observe all of the relevant warnings when using your mower.

• Push the loop of cable through the slot from the opposite side of the restraint hook (Fig. F), position the loop over the hook and pull the cable back through the slot. Your cable will now be restrained.

We recommend the directional method of operation to obtain the maximum cutting performance from your mower and to reduce the risk of the trailing the extension lead from entering the cutting path.

• Place the bulk of the supply cable on the lawn close to the starting point (see Fig. H, position 1).
• Hold the handle assembly with both hands.

Warning! Do not attempt to operate your mower with one hand - you must guide it with both hands.

• Tilt the handle downwards to slightly raise the front of your mower and to reduce the risk of lawn damage whilst starting, depress the safety lock-off button (12) on the switchbox (10) and whilst still depressed pull the switch lever (11) towards you. Your mower will start and you can now allow the lock-off button to be released and lower your mower to its proper cutting position, and commence cutting.
• Proceed down the cutting area as shown in Fig. Ha, working from position 1 towards position 2 and, on reaching position 2, turn to the right and proceed towards position 3. Continue to the end of the cutting area, turn to the left and proceed towards position 4. Continue in the same manner as shown in Fig. Ha, always working away from the cable. Do not adopt the method as shown in Fig. Hb, working towards the cable, as this is dangerous practice.

Your mower will continue to operate whilst you are pulling the switch lever. To stop your mower release the switch lever.

When you have finished using your mower we recommend that you clean all debris

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

from it before putting it away. Refer to the 'Care and maintenance' section.

Note: To obtain the best results cut your lawn or grass area regularly and do not cut when the grass is wet.

If, when grass cutting, loose grass is seen to be scattering from beneath your mower, the grassbox is probably full and should be emptied.

The steel blade is designed to give a fine finish in long or tough grass. The blade will continue to cut even when it has become blunt or burred. There is no need for it to be razor sharp.

If, however, because of damage or wear the cutting performance deteriorates, then your mower may require a new blade, or at least the existing blade to be sharpened.

We recommend that the steel blade is sharpened or a new blade fitted at the beginning of each season.

Warning! When fitting a new blade use only original replacement part specified for your mower - do not attempt to fit any other blade.

10) FITTING A NEW BLADE (FIG. L & M)

Observe all the relevant warnings before changing the blade.

Warning! Disconnect your mower

from the electrical supply before changing the blade.

• Turn your mower over on its side so that the underside of the mower body (1) is exposed.
• Using a cloth placed over the blade or heavy duty gloves to protect your hands, grip the blade and, using the spanner provided, loosen and remove the nut (16) from the motor spindle. Turn the nut in an anti-clockwise direction to loosen it.
• Fit the blade and special Belleville washer (Fig. M) back on in the right direction.

11) HANDY HINTS

• On long grass, above 10cm (4 inches), use two cuts to get a close finish. We recommend that the first cut should be taken with the blade set at maximum height of cut and the second taken with it set at medium or close. This will prove to be easier and give a better overall finish to your lawn.

The advice given in this section covers the general care and maintenance of the main body of your mower.

Warning! Do not use an extension cable which shows signs of damage. Fit a new cable completely - do not make any permanent or temporary repairs.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Always keep your mower clean and free from grass cuttings, especially the underside of the cutter deck and the air vents.
- Check all electrical cables at regular intervals, looking for signs of wear, abrasion or other damage.
- At the end of each cutting session we recommend that the build up of grass

on the underside of the cutter cover is removed using a blunt scraper.

• Clean all plastic components with a damp cloth.

Caution: Do not use solvents or cleaning fluids as these may damage the plastic components of your mower.
