Mowing (see figure F)
Place the garden product on the edge of the
lawn, as close to the power point as possible.
Work away from the power point.
Position the cable to opposite side (already
done) at the end of each turn.
The blades may require adjustment, particularly
before first use – see “Blade Maintenance
(see figure G)”.
When mowing do not allow the motor to labour
particularly in heavy conditions.
When the motor labours the speed of the motor
drops and you will hear a change in the motor
sound, when this occurs stop mowing, release
the switch lever 2 and raise the height of cut.
Failure to do so will could damage the machine.
