Attaching the lower handle to the main body
(Fig. A)
Align the holes on the lower handle (6) with the holes on
u
the main body (8a).
Insert the lower handle latch (8) and push until secure as
shown in figure A.
Attaching the upper handle to the lower handle
(Fig. B)
Align the holes on the lower handle (6) with the
u
corresponding holes on the upper handle (1).
Insert the screw (5b) through both handles and fit the
u
washer (5a).
Place the upper handle latch (5) onto the screw (5b) and
u
tighten until secure as shown in figure B.
Note: The upper handle can be attached to the lower handle
with the upper handle latch (5) located either on the outside or
the inside, depending on personal preference.
Before starting
Before use, check that the mower is in good
u
working order.
Ensure the power button is in the off position and
u
disconnect the cable plug from the mains supply.
Examine the general condition of the mower.
u
Inspect the body underneath the deck, blade,
switch, power cord and extension cord (if used).
Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding
u
of moving parts, improper mounting, broken
parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation.
If abnormal noise or vibration occurs during operation,
u
turn the mower off immediately and have the problem
corrected. Do not use a damaged tool and attach a label
"DO NOT USE" to the tool. Ensure that you are on a flat
surface and have secure footing. Check that the
latches (5, 8) are securely tightened.
Switching on and off (Fig. C, D)
Note: Practise switching on and switching off the mower as
detailed below before using it to cut grass for the first time.
Start the mower on a hard, level surface (such as a driveway)
that is free of debris. Connect the power cordset to the power
point.
(Original instructions)
Squeeze the motor on/off grip (2) towards the upper
u
handle (1) and use the other hand to press the power
button (3) as shown in figure C. The power button remains
depressed as long as the pressure is maintained on the
motor on/off grip (2).
Transfer the other hand to the upper handle (1). As
u
the motor picks up speed, the mower lifts on a cushion
of air, making it very light to handle and extremely
manoeuvrable. To stop the motor, release pressure on the
motor on/off grip (2) until the power button (3) clicks off.
The mower sinks to the ground. The motor is not
started if pressure is re-applied to the motor on/off grip (2)
alone. It is necessary to squeeze the motor on/off grip (2)
and re-press the power button (3) to re-start the motor.
Emergency stop
To stop the motor in an emergency, simply release the
u
pressure on the motor on/off grip.
Keep your hands on the upper handle in order to control
u
the mower as it sinks to the ground.
Allow the motor to stop completely before releasing
u
control of the handle.
Changing the mower blades (Fig. E, F)
Warning! Never carry out any assembly operations or
adjustments with the power connected to the mower. Always
ensure that the power button is in the off position and that the
power plug is disconnected from the supply.
Periodically check the blades (11) for damage and balance.
If there are broken ends or other damage or the two blades
are out of balance they must both be replaced.
With the power button (3) in the off position and the power
plug removed from the supply, turn the mower on its back as
shown in figure E.
Unclip the old blades (11) from the pins (12) and replace
u
them with new ones.
Return the mower to the upright position.
u
Reconnect the power cable to the supply and run the
u
mower for a few minutes to check that the blades are
properly fitted and that there is no undue noise or
vibration.
Use only blades as recommended by the manufacturer.
u
To change from a 28mm to a 38mm cut (Fig.G, H, I)
Use the blade bolt spanner (9) to remove the blade bolt
u
(9a).
Remove the blade holder disc (10) and replace it the other
u
way around.
Remove the blades (11) from their anchor pins (12) on the
u
underside of the blade holder disc (10).
Replace the blades on the anchor pins on the upper side
u
of the blade holder disc (10).
