Stop the machine, and remove the disabling device. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop

• whenever you leave the machine,
• before clearing blockages or unclogging chute,
• before checking, cleaning or working on the machine,
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the machine; if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately)
• inspect for damage,
• replace or repair any damaged parts,
• check for and tighten any loose parts.

Maintenance and storage

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the machine is in safe working condition.
• Check the grass collector frequently for wear or deterioration.
• On machines with multi blade, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine.
• Always allow the machine to cool down before storing
• hen servicing the blades be aware that, even though the power source is switched off, the blades can still be moved.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only genuine replacement parts and accessories.

Always wear ear protection!
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with ENÂ 60335-2-77:2010.

WARNING!

The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

FITTING THE GRASS CATCHER

1. Lift up the back and fasten the grass catcher on the back of the lawn mower.
2. Lift up the back to remove the grass catcher.

WARNING!
Always switch off the motor before removing.

USE

STARTING AND STOPPING

1. Put the battery and key in place.
2. Press the safety button (1).
3. Pull the coupling handle (2) and hold. The motor stops if you release the coupling.

WARNING!

• The blade starts to rotate immediately when the motor starts.
• The blade continues to rotate after the motor has been switched off.
• Do not lift the back of the lawn mower when you start the motor or during normal use.
• Never put your hands or feet under the back of the frame bottom of the frame, or in the ejector when the motor is running.

FOR BEST MOWING RESULTS

• Remove any rubbish from the lawn.
• Check that there are no stones, branches, cables or other foreign objects on the lawn that could come into the lawn mower and get thrown out, causing personal injury or material damage.
• Do not cut wet grass, it will fasten under the lawn mower and prevent effective mowing.
• Do not mow more than 1/3 of the height of the grass. It is recommended to mow 1/3 of the length of grass. The mowing speed may need to be adjusted to achieve uniform mowing. Especially when mowing thick grass, it may be necessary to use the lowest speed to achieve a good result.
• When you are mowing long grass it may be necessary to mow twice by lowering the blade to 1/3 of the length of the grass and mowing from another direction than the first time. Mowing a second time helps to remove any remaining blades of grass.
• The lawn mower should always be run at full power for best mowing results.
• Clean the underside of the guard after use to prevent grass accumulating, which can prevent effective shredding. The shredding of leaves can be good for the lawn. When shredding leaves you should make sure that they are dry and not lying in a thick layer on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to fall from the trees before mowing the lawn.

SHREDDING

Use the lawn mower’s plastic attachment when shredding.

1. Remove the battery and the key.
2. Open the stone guard. FIG. 14
3. Fit the plastic attachment. FIG. 15
4. Close the stone guard. FIG. 16

WARNING!

• Remove the battery.
• Do this adjustment when the blade has stopped.

SURFACE INDICATOR
