4.As the motor picks up speed, the mower lifts on a cushion of air, making it very light to handle and extremely manoeuvrable.
5.To stop the motor, release pressure on both motor on/ off grips (4) until the power button (2) clicks off. The mower sinks to the ground. The motor is not started if pressure is
Emergency stop
•To stop the motor in an emergency, simply release the pressure on both motor on/off grips.
•Keep your hands on the upper handle in order to control the mower as it sinks to the ground.
•Allow the motor to stop completely before releasing control of the handle.
Extension cord restraint
During use of the lawn mower the extension cord will continually be pulled as you move from one area to another. An extension cord
support has been provided on the back of the switch box to assist in preventing the extension cord and the lawn mower cord being forced apart.
Locate the rectangular cutout section in the back of the switch box.
Note. The support is for the extension cord, not the lawn mower cable.
Form a loop in the extension cord about 300mm from the socket of the extension cord and slot it through the rectangular section and over the extension cord restraint hook.
Twist the loop 180° and hook the loop over the moulded hook, pull tight to secure the cable.
After, and only after the extension cable is correctly seated, plug the mower into the socket of the extension cable.
Mowing
Warning. Only use this mower when a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA is in the circuit.
Notes.
•Cut grass when it is dry.
•Keep the mower blade sharp and balanced.
•Do not set the cutting height too low, especially at the beginning of the mowing season.
•Vary the cutting pattern with each mowing.
•Use the cable restraint (3) to secure the power cable (22) in order to prevent any pulling forces on the cable from being transmitted to the switch box.
1.Make sure that the work area is free of rocks, debris, string or cord and other foreign objects.
2.Tilt the mower to one side prior to starting. A short time after switching on, the air cushion supports the weight of the mower and it can be returned to a level position. Failure to tilt the mower prior to starting will result in the initial cut being very close to the ground.
3.Where possible, start the mower before approaching the grass to be cut.
4.Cut the grass by moving in a straight line and proceed slowly.
5.Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work away from it to make it easier to avoid the cable.
6.At the edge of the lawn, take care to maintain the mower parallel with the ground to prevent “scalping” of
11the grass.
