The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate
cutting in both directions at the same height.
• For mulching: always avoid removing a large quantity
of grass. Never cut more than one third of the total grass
height in a single passage! Regulate the forward speed
according to the lawn conditions and the amount of
grass removed.
When finished mowing, release the lever (1) or both
levers (1a).
Disconnect the extension cable FIRST from the general
socket (2) THEN from the side of the lawnmower switch
(3).
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE STOPS before making an ad-
justments to the lawnmower.
IMPORTANT - If the motor stops because it is overheated
while mowing, you must wait about 5 minutes before
restarting it.
IMPORTANT - Routine and accurate maintenance is
essential in maintaining original machine safety and
performance levels.
Store the lawnmower in a dry place.
1) Wear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining
