to use the appliance. Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
4. Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
5. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
17. Never operate the appliance in the rain.
18. Avoid operating the appliance in wet grass, where feasible.
Preparation
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other
foreign objects before mowing, they could be thrown by the
blade.
2. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. Always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers. It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection.
3. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light, and always
keep children away from the mowing area.
4. Never operate the equipment in wet grass. Always be sure
of your footing; keep a firm hold on the handle and walk;
never run. Never walk backwards while cutting grass.
5. while mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers.
6. Do not operate the appliance when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
7. Thoroughly inspect the area where the appliance is to be used
and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign
objects.
8. 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.
9. On multi-bladed appliances, take care as rotating one blade can
cause other blades to rotate.
1. Before using, check the blade(s) and blade bolt(s) for wear
and damage. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in
sets to preserve the balance. DAMAGED BLADES AND
WORN BOLTS ARE MAJOR HAZARDS.
Ensure that only replacement cutting means of the right type are
used:
- Blade 380mm - Masport P.N. 543021
2. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the mower
is in safe working condition.
3. Allow the motor to cool before storing in any enclosure.
4. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass and
leaves.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
Maintenance
Operation
1. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
2. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes, over 30°.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
Walk, never run.
3. Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine.
4. Start the motor carefully with feet well away from the
blades.
5. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Always keep clear of the blade.
6. Stop the mower when crossing gravel drives, walks or
other areas where stones may pitch up.
7. Don’t mow over heavy or solid objects as striking them with
the blade can cause serious damage to the motor and will
void your warranty.
8. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, unplug the
mains lead from the power supply and thoroughly inspect the
mower for any damage, and repair the damage, or take it to a
specialist before restarting and operating the mower.
9. If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
10. Stop the motor whenever you leave the mower, even for a
moment, before cleaning the mower housing, and when making
any repairs or inspections.
11. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the
blade and all moving parts have stopped and that the motor
has had time to cool. Disconnect the electric lead from the
mains to prevent accidental starting.
12. Do not run the motor indoors.
13. Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop before un-clogging obstructions.
14. Never operate the mower without proper guards, deflectors
provided by the manufacturer, or other safety devices in
place.
15. Never pick up or carry a mower when it is operating.
16. Never carry the mower by the cord.
Caution - Do not touch rotating blade.
Storing your Mower
The handle can be folded to minimise space requirements.
FOLDING THE HANDLE. Unlock the handle clamps in the
middle of the handle and fold the top section over the motor.
Check that the electrical cables are not being strained
while folding and unfolding the handle. Permanent

•
•
•
•
•
Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the
relevant and properly earthed plug.
Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.
Do not use any defective connection cables.
Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety switch.
Use a socket with RCD protection.

Care and maintenance
The machine does not require any special maintenance.
Cleaning (Use gloves)
It is very important that you keep your lawnmower clean.
Grass clippings left in any of the air intakes or under the hood
could become a potential fire hazard.
1. Remove grass from under the hood with a piece of wood or
similar.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from all air
intakes.
3. Apply a few drops of oil to the cutting mechanism to avoid
oxidation.
4. Wipe over the surface of your lawnmower with a dry cloth.
