Electrical safety
• To avoid the risk of electric shock from the power cable, we strongly advise that the cable be plugged into a socket which has RCD protection.
• Long power cables will cause a drop in voltage, impairing the performance of the machine.
• Cables up to 25m long can have 1.5mm
2 conductors, while cables longer than 25m must have 2.5mm
2 conductors.
• Ensure that the plug pins on the cable and the machine are not bent, and that the weight of the cable will not pull the socket apart.
• Do not separate the plug and socket by pulling on the cables.
• Check the condition of the power cable by regularly for insulation damage, replacing if necessary.
Important!
If the moulded 3 pin plug attached to this unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS 1363/13A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue neutral
Brown live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Proper Usage
Training
1. Read the operating and maintenance manuals carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the mower and disengage the controls quickly in an emergency.
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.
Operation
1. 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°.
2. Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine.
3. Start the motor carefully with feet well away from the blades.
4. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Always keep clear of the blade.
5. Stop the mower when crossing gravel drives, walks or other areas where stones may pitch up.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
9. Stop the motor whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment, before cleaning the mower housing, and when making any repairs or inspections.
10. 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.
11. Do not run the motor indoors.
12. Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before un-clogging obstructions.
13. Never operate the mower without proper guards, deflectors provided by the manufacturer, or other safety devices in place.
14. Never pick up or carry a mower when it is operating.
15. Never carry the mower by the cord.
16. Never operate the appliance in the rain.
Maintenance
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.
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.
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 kinks will cause damage to the cables.
Before Start-up
• Check that the machine is completely and correctly assembled.
• Before using the mower, make sure each time that…
– the power supply cable is not damaged, no tears, cuts, etc.
– the machine is not damaged.
– all screws are tight.
Mains connection
• 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.
