Before your first cut, adjust the mower cutting
depth to the desired position. The lawnmower
can be set to 3 cutting heights between 20 mm
and 60 mm.
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.
6. MOWING TIPS
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.
4. If a grass bag is used during the fast
growing season, the grass may tend to
clog up at the discharge opening. Release
switch lever to turn mower “OFF” and
remove the safety key. Remove the grass
bag and shake the grass down to the back
end of the bag. Also clean out any grass
or debris which may be packed around the
discharge opening. Replace the grass bag.
5. If mower should start to vibrate
abnormally, release switch lever to turn
mower “OFF” and remove safety key.
Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a
warning of trouble. Do not operate mower
until a service check has been made.
6. ALWAYS RELEASE SWITCH LEVER TO
TURN MOWER “OFF” AND REMOVE
SAFETY KEY WHEN LEAVING IT
UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stop the mower and
remove the safety key before
removing the grass bag.
NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service,
perform the following maintenance
procedures regularly. Check for obvious
defects such as a loose, dislodged or a
damaged blade, loose fittings, and worn
or damaged components. Check that the
covers and guards are all undamaged and
are correctly attached to mower. Carry out
any necessary maintenance or repairs before
operating mower. If the mower should
happen to fail despite regular maintenance,
please call our customer helpline for advice.
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT
CUT GRASS CLEANLY.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS
REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing
season is usually sufficient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull
quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of
blade, removing equal amounts of material
from both ends.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE
(See Fig. K)
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 K-1 in a vise K-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to
cut yourself.
