General safety precautions

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed

below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)

power tool. Save these instructions!

1) Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust of fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and mat-

ching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ran-

ges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is ear-

thed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Always

use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit breaker device.

3) Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alco-

hol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate con-

ditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a

key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

Topcraft 07

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both

hands to operate tool.

4) Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-

rect power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-

tained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-

ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructi-

ons and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from intended could result in hazardous situation.

h. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service repair centre. Do not use

power tools that cannot be switched on and off.

i. Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched on. Always switch off

the tool and wait until it has come to a full standstill before leaving.

j. If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains cable.

These can be obtained from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer service

department. The mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, the manu-

facturer's customer service department or equally qualified persons.

5) Service

a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to repair your

power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool.

b. Caution! The use of any accessories or additional tools other than those recommen-

ded in this manual may lead to an increased risk of injury. Only use original replace-

ment parts.

the machine, release the lever. The lever will automatically return to the neutral position.

Mowing tips

• Make sure that the area you plan to mow is free of stones, rubbish, cables, and other

objects.

• Make sure than all fastenings (screws, nuts, etc.) are tight.

• Regularly check the grass box for wear.

• Select the cutting height according to the condition of your lawn and the height of the grass.

• For best results, mow tall grass in layers. The recommended height of the grass cut

each time is a maximum of 4 centimetres.

• Mowing the grass when it is dry will achieve the best result.

• Make sure that the cutting blades can turn at full speed; the machine may not be

overloaded.

• To protect the power cord, make sure that it is lying on the ground behind you as you

mow (Fig. 6).

• Start mowing slowly by slowly pushing the machine forwards. If the cutting blades

slow down or the motor stops then you have selected the incorrect cutting height, or

Topcraft 11

you are pushing the lawnmower too quickly.

• Empty the grass box immediately it is full; failure to do so may cause the cutter blade

to seize, or overload the motor.

The cutting blades

Fig. 4

A worn cutter blade will result in a poor cut, and will overload the motor. Always check the

cutter blade before you start using the machine. Have the cutter blade sharpened or

replaced by a specialist when so required.

Warning! Remove the plug from the socket, and wear protective gloves.

To remove the cutter blade (C) hold it tight to prevent it turning whilst unscrewing bolt (B)

with the spanner (A) supplied with the machine. Remove the cutter blade, and replace it

with a new one.

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Service & maintenance

Remove the plug from the socket before starting maintenance work!

Maintenance and cleaning

• Regularly cleaning and maintaining the machine will improve its performance and pro-

long its useful life.

• Each time you have finished mowing, clean any grass and soil from the fan, cutter

blade, housing, and grass box.

• Use only a damp cloth (hot water) and a soft brush to clean the machine. Make sure

the machine always stays dry!

• Never use cleaning agents or solvents. These could cause irreparable damage to

your machine. Chemicals can attack plastic parts.

• Applying an environmentally-friendly oil to the cutter blade will protect it from rust

when the machine is not used for a longer period.

• Store the machine in a dry place, and out of the reach of children.
