MOWING (FIG. J - K)
NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA
WHERE MOWER IS TO BE USED
AND REMOVE ALL STONES,
STICKS, WIRE, AND OTHER DEBRIS
WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE
ROTATING BLADE.
We recommend to use your mower
as outlined in this section in order to
achieve optimum results and to reduce
the risk of cutting the main cable.
• Loop the extension cord through
the cable management system
(4) as shown (fig. J).
Ensure you leave
approximately 3 feet
(100 cm) of cord
between the switch-
box (1) and the cable
management system.
• Ensure that the cable
management system
can slide freely from
one side to the other.
• Place the bulk of the
extension cord on
the lawn, close to the
starting point (position 1
in fig. K).
• Switch the mower on as
described above.
• Proceed as shown in
fig. K.
• Move from position 1 to
position 2.
• Turn right, stepping over the extension cord and proceed towards
position 3. The cable management system will slide from one side to
the other, ensuring the extension cord is kept away from the cutting
blade.
• Turn left, stepping over the extension cord and move towards position
4. The extension cord will slide from one side of the handle to the
other, ensuring the extension cord is kept away from the cutting blade.
• Repeat the above procedure as required.
WARNING:
Do not work towards the cable as shown in fig. K1.

BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A DULL
BLADE DOES NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING,
SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT THE
MOWER IS UNPLUGGED.
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.
