of each mowing season.
mWARNING! Contact with moving parts may cause
entanglement, dismemberment or other serious bodily
injury. Always keep body parts (i.e. hands, feet) a safe
distance away from moving parts. Ensure all covers and
guards are securely in place before use.
Hot surfaces (i.e. the motor) may ignite flammable or
combustible items and cause a fire or explosion, which
can result in serious bodily injury. Keep the grass cutter a
safe distance away from flammable or combustible items
until surfaces that are hot have completely cooled. Do
not store the grass cutter near flammable or combustible
items.
Damaged blades may break off the grass cutter assembly
and cause serious injury. Replace the damaged blade
before using the grass cutter.
1. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use the grass
cutter in the rain or when the grass is damp or wet.
2. Keep children, bystanders and pets away – Always
keep children and spectators a safe distance away from
the grass cutter during operation and as the machine
cools.
3. Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear (i.e.
glasses, rubber gloves, protective footwear and dust
masks) and proper clothing when using the grass cutter.
Loose clothing, long hair or jewelry may get caught in the
moving parts.
4. Use the right appliance – Do not use the hover grass
cutter for any applications other than those for which it
was intended.
5. Do not force the hover grass cutter – It will perform
better with less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury
if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
7. Stay alert – Always be alert and watch what you are
doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the hover
grass cutter when you are tired or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
8. Disconnect the hover blade grass cutter – Turn OFF
and unplug the grass cutter when it's not in use, before
servicing it, when changing accessories and when
performing any other maintenance task.
9. Store idle hover grass cutter indoors – When not in use,
the hover grass cutter should be stored indoors in a dry,
locked place out of the reach of children.
10. Maintain the hover grass cutter with care – Keep
cutting edges sharp and clean for best and safest
performance.
11. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection – Protective equipment such as safety glasses,

18. Keep guards in place and in proper working order.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
hover blade grass cutter. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure
of safety.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized, UL-listed (CSA
certified in Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized
extension cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The
extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW,
SJTW, or SJTOW.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the hover blade grass
cutter by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from
the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.

Adjusting Cutting Height
This electric hover blade grass cutter is equipped with two
cutting height options of 0.4 in. and 0.8 in. (1 cm and 2 cm),
which is achieved by assembling the blades on different
locations of the blade hinges. If the blades are assembled
on the lower ends of the blade hinges, it will provide 0.8 inch
(2 cm) cutting reduction. If the blades are assembled on the
upper ends of the blade hinges, it will provide 0.4 inch (1 cm)
cutting reduction of the height of the grass (Fig. 11).
mWARNING! Always handle the blades with care – sharp
edges could cause injury. USE HEAVY-DUTY GLOVES.
1. Switch off and unplug the unit, wait until the blades and

blade hinge in the small hole on the blade (Fig. 11).
4. Repeat all above operations on the other two blades.
mWARNING! After adjusting the cutting height, double
check that all blades are secured on the same height.
Unsecured blades may fly off during operation and cause
personal injury.
Mowing Tips
mWARNING! Inspect the area prior to cutting and remove
all the stones, sticks, wires, and other debris. Use a lawn rake
to remove moss and thatch from your lawn before cutting.
NOTE: Sharp blades will greatly enhance the performance of
the hover blade grass cutter, especially when cutting tall grass.
• Be sure to check the blades periodically for signs of
wear and change them if needed, as described in the
maintenance section.
• In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the
hover blade grass cutter in damp or wet conditions.
• Do not mow in a circle. Travel back and forth across the
lawn following the path outlined below (Fig. 12).
NOTE: For the best results, mow the outside edge of the
lawn in a clockwise direction first. Then start mowing the
edge of the lawn closest to the power supply so the cable
is laid out on the lawn you have already cut. (Fig. 12).
• When cutting thick grass, reduce your walking speed
in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper
discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always
cut off one-third or less from the total length of the grass.
The average lawn should be approximately 1.5 to 2 in.
(3.8 cm to 5 cm) long during cool months, and more than
2 in. (5 cm) long during hot months. If there is growth,
the lawn should be cut in the fall.
• While cutting, make sure that the electric cable is always
behind you and resting on the area of grass already cut.
• The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
• When crossing any graveled area, release the switch bar
lever to turn off the hover grass cutter. The stones can be
picked up and thrown by the rotating blade.
• Set the hover grass cutter to the higher cutting height
when cutting on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
mWARNING! If you strike a foreign object, stop the
motor and disconnect the power cord. Thoroughly inspect the
hover grass cutter for any damage. Repair any damage before
operating the hover grass cutter.
Maintenance
mWARNING! Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting
the hover grass cutter, disconnect the power supply to the unit
and verify that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
General
• Always keep the hover blade grass cutter clean and free
of grass, dirt, or other debris.
