SETUP & PREPARATION

ASSEMBLY

• Place the telescopic handle assembly over the teeth of the mower handle brackets.
• While supporting the handle secure with a washer and Handle Angle Quick-release Lever on both sides, with three settings available for the angle
• Ensure one of the three positions available is selected to the Height Adjustment Line OTHERWISE THIS WILL PREVENT THE MOWER FROM OPERATING. As you make your selection, make sure that both sides are set to the same position.

Grass Catcher Handle Assembly
The handle will click into position when aligned and fitted correctly

Fitting and Removing the Grass Catcher

• Lift up the grass catcher flap with one hand and guide the catcher with your other hand over the two hooks on the mower housing.
• Lower the grass catcher and allow it to sit in place. Lower the grass catcher flap.
• To remove, raise the grass catcher flap and lift the grass catcher out.

Grass Catcher Indicator
The grass catcher is fitted with an indicator at the rear of the catcher to help identify when to empty. If the indicator drops down while operating then the grass catcher is full and needs emptying

PREPARATION

• To adjust the height of the handle flip up the two quick-release levers.
•  Adjust the handle into the desired height. To lock in place flip the two quick-release levers back into the closed position.
• To adjust the angle of the handle flip up the two handle angle quick-release levers. Three setting positions available for the angle

Adjusting the Cutting Height

• Pull lever outwards away from the mower body.
• Adjust until the required cutting height is selected.
• Release lever and check that it is securely seated in the required cutting height position.

OPERATION

Inserting the Batteries & Safety Key

• Open the battery cover. Slide two batteries of the same capacity and same charge state into the mower aligning the ribs so that they click into place.
• Insert the safety key. (If the mower is not going to be used immediately, do not insert the safety key.)
• Close the battery cover.

Removing the Batteries from the Mower

• Open the battery cover. Press the battery release tab and remove the battery.
• Close the battery cover.

Run Time
The operating time of the PXC battery (the area in square meters that can be covered with a single battery charge) is largely dependent on the state of the grass (e.g. Density, moisture, height, etc.) the lawn mower cutting height position and your walking speed. Frequently turning the equipment on and off while mowing will also reduce the amount of area that you can cover. If the operating time of the PXC battery (area coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above measures, you can remedy the problem by using PXC battery with a larger capacity (Ah).

MOWING

Switching On and Off

• Press and hold the lock-off button.
• Pull the start/stop lever towards the handle to start the mower and then release the lock-off button.

Lawn Mowing Tips

• Start mowing the edge of the lawn and work along making sure to overlap each pass by a few centimetres.
• When mowing long grass be sure to not overload the motor. First cut with the highest cutting height and then to the desired height. This will help reduce the load.

MAINTENANCE

• To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly and with a 13mm socket loosen the blade bolt by turning it anti-clockwise.
• Remove the blade bolt and blade.
• To fit the blade, place the blade over the centre hole aligning the lugs.
• Then retighten the fastening bolt with the universal wrench. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage

• Remove build up of grass in the grass chute.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the lawn mower is in a safe working condition.
• Check the catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Only use the replacement blade and blade bolt specified for this product.
• Be careful during adjustments of the lawn mower to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blade and fixed parts of the machine.
• When not in use, the mower should be stored in a dry, frost-free location, out of reach of children.
• If the housing of the mower requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth and brush only.
• Frequently check the wheel threads are firm and tight.

Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to ensure a long service life. The output power automatically cuts off during operation when the tool and/or battery are placed under the following situations:

When the tool is overloaded:
If this occurs, release the start/stop lever safety key and batteries and remove causes of overload, then reinsert the safety key and batteries, then press and hold the lockoff button and pull the start stop lever again to restart.

• This equipment is battery-operated and the battery must be charged outside the equipment.
• Before you connect the charger to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a machine repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
• The power supply for this product’s charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less).
• A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.

GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Electrical safety
• Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Machine use and care

• Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
• Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
• Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the machine in unexpected situations.

Battery machine use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

• Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
