General safety instruction Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instruc tions 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 atmos pheres, such as in the presence of flam mable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools cre ate 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 matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec tric shock if your body is earthed 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 redu ces the risk of electric shock. Always use tool in con junction with a residual circuit breaker device. Model Number: GLGS-1200 6
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, alcohol or medica tion. A moment of inattention while opera ting 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 conditions 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 con trol 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, jewel lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 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 correct 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. Model Number: GLGS-1200 7

Operation instructions 5 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 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. 5 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. Model Number: GLGS-1200 17
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. Remove the plug from the socket before starting maintenance work! Maintenance and cleaning Regularly cleaning and maintaining the machine will improve its performance and prolong 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. The upper section of the handle can be folded up to save space. Do not pinch the cord when turning the machine! Lubrication The machine does not need any extra lubrication. Faults Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty card.
