biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the
lawn.
Please review the following recommendations
for optimum mulching performance.
1) Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from
rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps
which interfere with the mulching action
and reduce runtime. The best time to mow
grass is in the late afternoon when the
grass is dry and the newly cut area will not
be exposed to direct sunlight.
2) For best mulching performance, set the
cutting height to remove about one third
of the grass blade length, ideally no more
than 38mm at one time. If the lawn is
overgrown, it may be necessary to increase
the cut height to reduce the pushing effort
and prevent overloading the motor. For
extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable
to first cut at a high cut height setting, and
then re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise,
make narrower cuts and mow slowly.
3) For best performance, keep the mower
housing free of built-up grass. From time
to time turn off mower and wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop. Using
an object such as a stick, wipe out any
accumulation of grass in the blade area.
Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade.

Clean often in wet, new grass, and always
after every use.
4) Certain types of grass or grass conditions
may require that an area be mulched a
second time to fully disperse the grass
throughout the lawn. If cutting a second
time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular
(across) the first cut pattern. DO NOT
CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT
WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5) Change your cutting pattern from week to
week. This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn.
MAINTENANCE
wARNING: Stop the mower and
unplug the tool before performing
any maintenance.

wARNING: Never carry out any
assembly operations or adjustments
with the power connected to the mower.
Always ensure that the power button is in
the off position and that the power plug is
disconnected from the supply.
Always handle the blade with care-sharp
edges could cause injury use gloves.
Follow these procedures to remove and
replace the blade. You will need garden
gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench
to remove the blade. Hold the Blade and
unscrew the Blade Bolt (13) anticlockwise
using a spanner wrench. Remove Blade and
attach a new one to the blade bolt.
Ensure that the blade is properly positioned as
seen in Fig.K1, then firmly tighten the bolt. Do
not over tighten.
Renew your metal blade after 50hrs mowing
or 2 years, which ever is the sooner-regardless
of condition.
If the blade is cracked or damaged
replace it with a new one.
STORAGE: (See fig. L )
Stop the mower and unplug the tool.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly
using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water,
solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and
debris, especially from the ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the
blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted
in the blade area, remove with a wooden or
plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place
other objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage, release the handle cam lever,
and rotate or fold the upper handle.
You could carry the mover by Carry Handle (10).
Ensure cables are not stuck or entangled when
folding or unfolding upper handles. do not
drop the handles.
