Safety Notes

STOP

Beware of thrown or flying objects to bystanders.

Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the machine.

Switch off and remove plug from mains before adjusting, cleaning or if the cable is entangled and before leaving the lawnmower unattended for any period. Keep the supply flexible cord away from the cutting blades.

Sharp blade(s). Beware of severing toes or fingers.

Wait until all machine components have completely stopped before touching them. The blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched off, a rotating blade can cause injury.

Do not mow in the rain or leave the lawnmower outdoors whilst it is raining.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

Never mow while people, especially children or pets, are nearby.

The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open sandals, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.

Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.

Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

Avoid operating the lawnmower in wet grass, where feasible.

Walk, never run.

Mowing on banks can be dangerous:

– Mow across the face of slopes – never up and down.

– Always be sure of your footing on slopes or wet grass.

– Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

– Use extreme caution when stepping back or pulling the lawnmower towards you. Never mow by pulling the mower towards you.

Stop the blades if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.

Do not tilt the machine when starting or switching on the motor, except if the machine has to be tilted for starting in long grass. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and tilt only the part which is away from the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in the operating position before returning the machine to the ground.

Never operate the appliance with defective guards or shields, or without safety device, for example deflectors and/or grass catchers in place.

Switch on the lawnmower according to instructions and with feet well away from the blades.

Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine.

Keep clear of discharge opening at all times.

Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating the machine.

Never pick up or carry the lawnmower while the motor is running.

Do not put hands or feet near, or under, rotating parts while the lawnmower is being operated.

Be careful during adjustment of the lawnmower to prevent entrapment of the feet and hands between moving blades and fixed parts of the lawnmower.

Remove the plug from the socket:

– whenever you leave the machine

– before clearing a blockage

– before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower

– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs as necessary

– if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally

(check immediately).

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the lawnmower is in safe working condition.

Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

Ensure replacement parts fitted are manufacturer’s original or approved by the manufacturer.

Electrical Safety

Your machine is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU countries

220 V, 240 V as applicable). Only use approved extension cables. Contact your approved

Service Centre for details.

Extension cords/leads should only be used if they comply with H05VV-F, H05RN-F types or IEC type design (60227 IEC 53, 60245 IEC 57).

F016J10018A page 6

It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.

Always check your RCD every time you use it.

If you want to use an extension cable when operating your product, only the following cable dimensions should be used:

- 1.0 mm 2 max length 40 m

- 1.5 mm 2 max length 60 m

- 2.5 mm 2 max length 100 m

Note: If an extension cable is used it must be earthed and connected through the plug to the cable of your supply network in accordance with prescribed safety regulations.

For products not sold in GB:

WARNING: For safety, it is essential that the mains plug 7 attached to the product is fitted to the power supply cable 35.

The couplings of connection leads must be protected against splashes and the coupling sockets on the leads must be made of rubber or coated with rubber.

Fixing means for the connection leads must be used.

The connection lead must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals and may only be used if in perfect condition.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an approved Service Centre.

Products sold in GB only: Your mower is fitted with an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and is protected by a 13 A fuse (ASTA Approved to BS 1362).

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorized customer service agent.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere.

Assembly

A nut.

Unfold the top handle 1 and tighten wing-

Note: Ensure that the cable clips supplied are used to fix the cable to the handle.

The blades will require adjustment – see “Adjusting Blades”.

Attach cable to cable restraint 6 ensuring that sufficient cable slack is available. (Euro models only)

B Grassbox

Spring the grassbox cradle 11 into pivot holes 12.

Attach/remove the grassbox as shown.

B Height of cut adjustment

Your machine has six settings which give the following approximate height of cut:

1 = 9 mm 2 = 13 mm 3 = 18 mm

4 = 25 mm 5 = 32 mm S = Scarifier

Position “S” should only be used with the Scarifier Cartridge accessory (purchased separately).

To adjust the height of cut:

Tilt the mower to take the weight off the front roller.

Push the height of cut knob 10 in and turn to the desired position.

For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting adjustment should be selected.

C14E models:

The comb will also require adjustment, See

“Comb Adjustment”.

C Comb Adjustment

[C 14E only]

Your mower is fitted with an adjustable comb 13 which can be brought into use on the lower heights of cut. It is set by loosening the screws 14 and rotating the comb until the tines just touch the ground. You may need to re-adjust after changing the height of cut. Take care not to set the comb too deep, as this could cause damage to either your mower or lawn.

C Cutting Long Grass Using Side Wheel Kit

[C14E models only]

Your mower is fitted with a full width front roller which is suitable for normal smooth lawns. For cutting longer, coarse grass a side wheel kit can be fitted. To fit this kit proceed as follows:

1. Stop, remove plug from the power supply and remove the grass box.

2. Tilt the mower back and wedge securely.

3. Remove the front roller/comb assembly by removing screw 14 and slackening nut 15 on both sides.

4. Fit the side wheel, space tube on to the side wheels spindle.

5. Fit each side wheel assembly on both sides of the roller brackets as shown and fix with bolt 18.

Refit the full width roller by following steps 1 - 4 in reverse.

Mowing

Place the lawnmower on the edge of the lawn, as close to the power point as possible. Work away from the power point as in figure F. Then at right angles.

Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at the end of each turn.

The blades may require adjustment, particularly before first use – see adjusting blades.

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 and raise the height of cut.

Failure to do so could damage the machine.

Maintenance

Stop, remove plug from the power supply and remove the grassbox.

Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following maintenance regularly.

Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged or damaged blade, loose fixings, and worn or damaged components.

Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before using.
