mower. It is forbidden to modify the plug or socket to match them. The electrical parameters of the power cable should correspond
to the electrical parameters of the device, which are listed on the nameplate. Please pay attention, that the size of the wires
cross-section area of the power cable depends on the length of the cable. You should observe the following recommendations
regarding the cross-section area of the power cable:
- 1.0 mm - cable length no more than 40 m.
2
- 1.5 mm - cable length no more than 60 m,
2
- 2.5 mm - cable length no more than 100 m.

When preparing for work and during work, pay attention to the power cable. Protect the power cable from water, moisture, oils,
heat sources and sharp objects. You should lay the cable in such a way, that it cannot to get into the operating range of the mower
blade. Cutting the cable may cause an electric shock which can lead to serious injury or death. Please pay attention, to do not get
tangled in the cable. It may cause a fall and may lead to serious injuries.
Do not overload the power cable, do not lead to the condition when the cable will be tensioned on any section. Do not pull on the
cable while moving the device. Always disconnect the plug and the cable socket by pulling the plug and the socket case, never
pull by the cable.
The mower switch housing has been equipped with a catch, which protects the power cord socket against being pulled from the
switch plug. You should prepare a loop about 30 cm long near the cable socket, put it through the hole in which the hook is located
and attach it (XV).
Connect the cable socket to the switch plug (XVI).
Please pay attention, that the cable does not break down, nor it is stretched. If necessary, disconnect the cable from the plug,
extend the loop and connect again.
Starting and stopping the mower
The mower should be placed on a fl at, even and hard ground. Make sure, that there are no obstacles under the mower that the
blade can come into contact with. Make sure, that the power cord will not come into contact with the blade when the device will
be started.
The switch has been equipped with a lock, which prevents accidental switching on of the device when pressed on the switch.
Press and hold the lock button (XVII), and then pull the switch lever to the handle. This will start the rotation of the blade. Release
the pressure on the switch lock and grip the handle (XVII) with both hands.
Releasing the pressure on the switch lever will cause the mower to stop working. The blade can still spin for some time.
Working with a mower
Before starting work, the place to mow grass should be prepared. Check that the mowing area does not contain any obstacles,
which, caught by the blade, could damage the mower or be thrown out and pose a threat to the operator or bystanders.
Check that there are no electric wires in the workplace, which can be cut by the blade. Damage to the electric cable constitutes a
risk of electric shock, which can lead to serious injury or death.
You should make sure that no unauthorized persons or domestic animals remain in the workplace. In the event of such persons
appearing while working, you must stop the mower immediately, and then warn people about the threat.
Check the length of the grass and select the cutting height. Never cut more than 1/3 of the length of the grass. If the grass is very
high, it should be cut in stages. Mowing should be carried out regularly, making sure that the height of the grass does not exceed
the capacity of the mower.
Never cut wet grass. Wet grass tends to stick to the inside of the product, which disturbs its accumulation in the basket. Wet grass
can also cause slipping and falling.
Check all mower parts before starting work. If damages are noticed do not start the mower operation before fi xing damages or
replacing damaged items with new ones. Check the patency of the ventilation openings. If it is necessary, you should clean them
with a soft brush or paintbrush. Do not use sharp or metal objects to clean the mower ventilation openings.
Check screw connections for looseness. Tighten if it is necessary.
Check whether the handles are clean, free of grease and other contaminants. If it is necessary, clean them with a soft cloth.
You should take regular breaks at work, to avoid fatigue and overwork. This will allow to achieve better product control and reduce
the risk of an accident.
Attention! The mower should always be pushed during work, never pulled towards its operator. Pulling the mower causes
that the operator walks back, what causes, that she/he does not control the area behind her/him. In addition, when pulling back
the mower, the blade can catch the power cord.
The mower should be slowly pushed, always walk, never run. This will give you more control of the mower and reduce the re-
sponse time for unexpected events.
When mowing, you should move by rows (XVIII). The rows should be kept equal width, slightly overlapping so that any place will
be left. You should take special precautions when you are changing the mowing direction.
You should ensure that you start mowing from the side of the electrical connection. This will reduce the risk of running on the
power cord.
When you are cutting grass near fl owerbeds, you should move around the fl ower beds.
During work, you should regularly empty the basket.
