Starting and Stopping
• Important:- Your lawnmower will not start until the grassbox
lid is firmly closed and clicked into place.
To Start your Lawnmower
1. Connect female extension cable connector to the
back of the switchbox. (N)
2. Form loop in mains cable and push the loop through
the slot as illustrated in picture (P)
3. To secure, position loop over the hook and pull the cable
back through the slot as illustrated in picture (Q).
4. Connect plug to mains and switch on.
5. Tilt the handle downwards to slightly raise the front of
the lawnmower and to reduce the risk of lawn dam-
age whilst starting.
The switchbox is provided with a lock-off button (R1) to
prevent accidental starting.
6. Press and hold the lock-off button (R) on the switch-
box, then squeeze one of the Start/Stop levers
towards the upper handle (S).
7 . Continue to squeeze the start/stop lever towards the

Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could
cause injury. USE GLOVES.
Removing the Blade and Fan
1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the fan firmly and, with
the spanner provided, loosen the blade bolt by turning
it anti-clockwise.
2. Remove the blade bolt, blade and fan from the pulley.
3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2
years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition.
If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new
one.
Fitting the Blade and Fan
1. Ensure the fan is located correctly.
2. Fit the blade to the fan.
3Re-assemble blade bolt through blade and fan.
4. Hold the fan and tighten blade bolt firmly with the
spanner provided. Do not over tighten.
Removing and Fitting the Blade and Fan (T)
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have
already cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one
time and this may also result in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower: Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change
in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When
mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height
Adjustment.
