DANGER! Risk of injury!Risk of injury if the product does not stop when you release the start levers.→Do not bypass the safety devices or switches. For example do not attach the start levers to the handle.

To startThe product is provided with a two-handed safety device (startlever (18) and safety lock-off button (5)) to prevent the product frombeing turned on by accident.There are two start levers (18) fitted. Either one has to be used to start.

  1. Push the safety lock-off button (5) with one hand and pull the start lever (18) with the other hand.The mower starts.
  2. Release the safety lock-off button (5).To prevent a ring being cut in the lawn and to clear any residual grass, tilt the mower slightly. When the lawnmower has reached full speed gently lower it onto the lawn.

To stop→ Release the start lever (18).The mower stops.

Tips to use the mower [Fig. O8]:Mow twice a week during the growing season.The lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time.For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise direction first.Start to mow the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point. So the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.For the best cutting results mow in straight lines with an overlap of approximately 8 – 10 cm on each pass with the mower.Do not overload the mower. To mow long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop and you will hear a change in the motor sound.If the motor speed drops you may overload the mower which may cause damage. When you mow in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load.See To adjust the cutting height.
