• Before using, always check if the blades, blade bolts
and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Re-
place worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
preserve balance.
• On multi-bladed appliances, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Operation
• Mow only in daylight or in good artifi cial light.
• Avoid operating the appliance in wet grass, where
feasible.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
• Walk, never run.
• For wheeled rotary mowers, mow across the face of
slopes, never up and down.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
appliance towards you.
• Stop the blade(s) if the appliance has to be tilted
for transportation when crossing surfaces other than
grass, and when transporting the appliance to and
form the area to be mowed.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards
or shields, or without safety devices, for example
defl ectors and/or grass catchers, in place.
• Switch on the motor according to instructions and
with feet well away from the blade(s).
• Do not tilt the appliance when switching on the mo-
tor, except if the appliance has to be tilted for start-
ing. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely
necessary and lift only the part which is away from
the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in
the operating position before returning the appliance
to the ground.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
For rotary mowers, keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
• Never pick up or carry an appliance while the motor
is running.
• Pull the plug from the socket:
• whenever you leave the machine;
• before clearing a blockage;
• before checking, cleaning or working on the appli-
ance;
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the appliance
for damage and make repairs as necessary;
• if the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally (check
immediately).
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
appliance is in safe working condition.
• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear of dete-
rioration.
• Replace worn of damaged parts for safety.
• For cylinder mowers, be careful during adjustment
of the appliance to prevent entrapment of the fi ngers
between moving blades and fi xed parts of the appli-
ance.
• For rotary mowers, ensure that only replacement
cutting means of the right type are used.
3. ASSEMBLY
We recommend assembling the lawnmower in the en-
closed space on an even surface or on a special work-
ing table. You will need a cross-tip screwdriver during
the assembly. Start the assembly after the identifi cation
of all parts (fi g. 1)
• Upon removal of the lawnmower from the box, put
the lower part of the handle (5) in the apertures of
the body. Afterwards, lift the cover and fasten the
ends of the handle in the body with selftapping
screws from the back side.
• Fasten the cable hanger (10) to the upper part of the
handle (6).
• Connect the cable to the lawnmower's handle with
two clamps.
• Join the upper part of the handle (6) with lower parts
(5) and fasten thereof with a screw (7) and a nut (8),
placed into a plastic assembly wrench.
• Screw the wheels (11 and 12) on. All wheels should
be fastened on the same height.
• The both parts of the grass reservoir (4) shall be
pushed into the apertures until hearing a click.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
• Switch off and remove the plug from mains before
replacing the blade.
• Note that the wings of the knife shall be directed up-
wards for fastening.
• A fl at or other hexagon spanner of 24 size is used for
unscrewing and screwing of the blade.
• Please note that the head of the screw fastening the
blade is made from plastic material; accordingly, the
force applied onto the screw during the fi xing of the
blade shall be 10-16 Nm.
• Replace the cutting knife with the knife of the type
specifi ed only.
4. USE
Operation
The essence of operation of the lawnmower is a hori-
zontally cutting knife fastened to the vertical shaft of the
motor; the knife, which rotates with a speed of approxi-
mately 3000 r/min. cuts the grass at the preselected
height. Cut grass is thrown into the bag via an aperture
in the rear side of the lawnmower under the impact of
centrifugal force and the pressure resulting from the ro-
tation of the knife. Proper positioning of the knife is of
great signifi cance for this process.
Switching ON and OFF (fi g.2)
1. push the round button with one hand
2. draw and hold the switch handle with another hand
3. release the round button
4. hold the switch handle during the entire period of
lawnmower operation
5. releasing the switch handle will switch off the lawn-
mower
User tips
Please remember the most important rule for lawn care
- mow grass instead of plants growing therein. The
mowing procedure shall be repeated once in two-to-
three days with grass growing again fast. Lawnmower
