Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.

5. Operating Instructions
Proper operation ensures effective mowing and prolongs the life of your appliance.
5.1 Pre-Operation Checks
- Ensure all fasteners are tight.
- Check the power cord for any damage.
- Verify the grass collection bag is correctly attached.
- Adjust the cutting height to your desired level.
5.2 Starting and Stopping
- To Start: Press and hold the safety button, then pull the bail lever towards the handle. Release the safety button.
- To Stop: Release the bail lever. The blade will stop rotating after a few seconds.
5.3 Adjusting Cutting Height
The mower features a central cutting height adjustment lever. To adjust, pull the lever outwards and move it to the desired position. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut. The 40 CM cutting width allows for efficient coverage.
5.4 Mowing Techniques
- For best results, mow in straight, overlapping lines.
- Do not attempt to cut too much grass at once. If the grass is very long, make two passes, raising the cutting height for the first pass.
- Always direct the discharge chute away from people and objects.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your mower.
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the power and clean the mower deck, blade, and grass collection bag. Use a brush or cloth; do not use water jets directly on the motor housing.
- Blade Care: Periodically inspect the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting performance and strain the motor. For blade replacement or sharpening, consult a qualified service technician or refer to specific instructions in the full manual.
- Storage: Store the mower in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children. The handle can often be folded for compact storage.
- Power Cord: Inspect the power cord regularly for cuts, abrasions, or signs of aging. Replace damaged cords immediately.
