When only one green light ( ) is illuminated, the battery charge is depleted. Before using your new mower for the first time, it is recommended that the unit be charged overnight to ensure that the battery is fully charged.

height, wait for the mower to completely stop. Mower blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched off and a rotating blade can cause injury. Wait until all machine components have completely stopped before touching them. Before your first cut, adjust the mower cutting depth to the desired position. The lawnmower can be set to 3 cutting heights between 20mm and 60mm. Grip one wheel and pull it out of the groove and reposition it in the required height. ALL other wheels should be positioned at the same height.

NOTE: Always inspect area where mower is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wire, metal and other debris which might be thrown by the rotating blade.

1) Mow across the face of slopes, never

up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always maintain good footing.

2) Release switch lever to turn mower “OFF”

when crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown by the blade).

3) Set mower at highest cutting height when

mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one time can cause circuit breaker to trip, which stops mower.

REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE

IMMEDIATELY. WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:

1. Make sure blade remains balanced.

2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting

3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends

of blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends. TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See L)

1. Be sure the switch lever is released, the

blade has stopped and the safety key removed before removing the blade.

2. Remove blade from mower. See

instructions for removing and attaching blade.

3. Secure blade L-1 in a vise L-2.

4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to

5. Carefully file the cutting edges of

the blade with a fine tooth file L-3 or sharpening stone.

6. Check balance of blade. See instructions

for blade balancing.

7. Replace blade on mower and tighten

securely. Refer to instructions below. BLADE BALANCING (See M) Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade M-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank M-2, clamped horizontally in a vise M-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops. BLADE MAINTENANCE (See N1, N2) Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner- regardless of condition. Follow these procedures to remove and replace the blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the blade. Hold the blade (15) and unscrew the blade bolt (14) counter- clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then remove blade. To re-assemble, position the blade (15) with the cutting edges towards the ground. Then16 Cordless lawn mower EN securely tighten the blade bolt (14). STORAGE: (See O) Stop the mower and always remove the safety key. Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from the ventilation slots. Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement. Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the machine. To aid storage, release the handle cam lever, and rotate or fold the upper handle. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste.
