the product.
Handle adjustment:
NOTE: Removal of lower handle fixing pins is not required to
adjust the handle.

To start the mower:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Risk of injury if the product does not stop when you
release the start levers.
v Do not bypass the safety devices or switches. For example do
not attach the start levers to the handle.
To start:
1. EU models: Connect female extension cable connector to the back of
the switchbox.
2. Form loop in mains cable and push the loop through the slot as illus-
trated. [ Fig. D ]
3. To secure, position loop over the hook and pull the cable back through
the slot as illustrated. [ Fig. E ]
4. Connect plug to mains and switch on.
5. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear any residual
grass, tilt your lawnmower slightly. [ Fig. F ]
NOTE: The switchbox is provided with a lock-off button to
prevent accidental starting. [ Fig. G1 ]
1. Press and hold the lock-off button on the switchbox, then squeeze
one of the start / stop levers towards the upper handle. [ Fig. H ]
2. Continue to squeeze the start / stop lever towards the upper handle
and release the lockoff button.
3. When the lawnmower has reached full speed gently lower it onto the
lawn.
NOTE: There are two start / stop levers fitted. Either one can be
used for starting the lawnmower.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the start / stop levers intermittently.
To stop:
1. To prevent a ring being cut in your lawn and to clear any residual
grass, tilt your lawnmower slightly. [ Fig. H ]
2. Release the pressure on the start / stop lever.
How to use the mower:
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. [ Fig. J ]
2. Cut your grass twice a week during the growing season. Your lawn will
suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time.
CAUTION!
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”.
To use the mower with the grass box:
For optimum performance your product is designed to be used with the
grassbox fitted.
Emptying the Grassbox [ Fig. K ]:
Stop the product and wait until the cutting head has stopped rotating
before emptying the grassbox.
1. Lift the grassbox lid.
2. Lift the grassbox off the product and empty.
