General Safety Warnings
Safety instructions
WARNING Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury. The term power tool” in all of the warnings below
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool, garden power tool,
battery-operated (cordless) power tool or your petrol operated
garden tool.
Save these instructions
Work area
Ensure the area to be mowed is clear and free of debris, rocks, gravel,
garden furniture etc.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Ensure all animals, children and bystanders are at least 15m away while
operating this lawn mower. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Personal safety
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 inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
4MODEL No.: SLM531, PRODUCT No.: 10093
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
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.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities ensure that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
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.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Turn tool o completely before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
When not in use, store power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions

untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions 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 dierent from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Operation
Starting the Engine (Electric / Key Start)
NOTE: Before starting the mower check the oil and
fuel levels. The engine MUST be lled with 500ml
of SAE 10W/30 engine oil BEFORE starting. Fresh
unleaded fuel must be used in this unit.
WARNING: DO NOT use Ethanol based
fuels. Do NOT mix oil with fuel.
Warranty will be void if the engine becomes faulty
due to insucient oil and fuel levels.
For starting, ensure the mower is set to the highest
height setting so the blades are not resting deep

Starting the Engine
(Manual Recoil Start)
1. Turn the key (26) to the right to the “ON” position.
2. Firmly hold the recoil starter (10) & pull slowly
until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. (Fig. L)
Stopping the Engine
1. To stop the engine (11), move the key (26) to the
left to the OFF” position. (Fig. M)
Emergency Stopping
If you have turned the key (26) and the lawnmower
fails to stop, DO NOT PANIC - there are two other
safe stopping methods available for you to try. Do
not put ngers or hands anywhere near the cutting
deck.
The safest method is to wheel the lawn mower to a
safe area and allow the lawn mower to continue to
run until the fuel has been all used up.
An alternative to this where the user is condent,
is to remove the spark plug cover (13) by pulling it
from the spark plug (47). (Fig. N) This removes the
engines ability to re and run.
However it is recommended to wear a rubber
glove when grasping the spark plug cover (13) as
a small electric shock is possible when pulling the
cover (13) o.
Ensure you feel condent to do this . If not, simply allow the lawnmower to
run out of fuel.
CAUTION: The spark plug (47) may be hot.
Persons with heart conditions or any medical condition which can
be aected by electric shock should not attempt the spark plug removal
method.
Do not attempt to restart the lawnmower and contact your local service
agent and book a repair of the product.

Operation
Do NOT lift the lawn mower. Do NOT tilt the lawn mower.
Do NOT leave the running lawn mower unattended.
Do NOT put hands under the running lawn mower under any circumstances.
Mowing advice
1. Before mowing always check and clear the grassed area for all foreign
objects, especially solid ones semi concealed in the ground such as rocks,
stumps and garden stakes.
2. Sharp blades cut cleanly and eciently, if the blades are dull it will tear the
grass. This will result in the ends turning brown. When the blades no longer
cut cleanly either sharpen them or replace them.
3. To safely operate the mower ensure all four wheels are on the ground and
be careful not to lose your footing or control of the mower. Be very careful
when mowing uneven or rough ground. Keep a rm grip on the handle bar
at all times, always walk, never run with the lawn mower.
4. For healthy growth, grass should not be cut too short. The grass will remain
healthier, greener and require less watering.
5. Vary your cutting pattern from week to week, this will help to prevent
matting and graining of the grass.
6. If using the mulching function, and grass is piling up behind the lawn
mower during the cutting action, lift the lawn mower to the next cutting
height using the cutting height adjustment lever (9).
Engine tipping
NOTE: Always ensure the engine (11) is switched o and the spark plug cover
(13) is removed before undertaking this task.
When cleaning, or performing any maintenance
such as replacing the blades, it is very important that
the lawn mower is ONLY tipped backwards. (Fig. O)
Failing to do so will result in the engine damage.
Should this occur, the mower should be taken to a
lawn mower repair shop which is not covered under
warranty.

Poor engine performance
Should the engine (11) idle or run rough at full speed with excessive blue/
black smoke emanating from the muer, it is possible that either the engine
was slightly tipped incorrectly (refer above). If the mower had previously been
tipped, allow the engine to run for a few minutes and the excess oil will burn
out.
If the engine is not running at full speed, check the fuel is fresh, check the oil
level, and also inspect under the deck to ensure there is no build up of grass.
Check the spark plug (47). If the mower continues to underperform, take the
mower to your nearest an authorised Service Agent.
Operating Functions of the Lawn Mower
Self propelled or manual operation of the lawn mower:
This lawn mower has the option to be manually pushed or engine driven
self propelled when the engine is operating.
1. Manual Operation:
The lawn mower is manually maneuvered under the users own power
when the mower is operating. ie the user is pushing the lawn mower to
power its movement forwards or backwards.
To operate this way manually, simply leave the self propel engage/
disengage bar (2) in its standard position. i.e DO NOT LIFT the self propel
engage/disengage bar (2) towards the upper handle bar (1). (Fig. P1)
2. Self Propelled Operation:
The self propelled operation will only operate when the engine of the
lawn mower is operating, and the self propel engage / disengage bar
(2) has been activated by lifting it up to the handle bar and holding in
position, (Fig. P2) hence the mower will move forward itself with the
operator steering and directing from the handlebars.
The self propelled operation is ONLY in the forward direction and is at a
set single speed.
To stop the self propelled function, release the self propel engage/
disengage bar (2) and the mower will cease forward movement. (Fig. P3)

4. Repeat the process to remove the other 3 blades.
5. Clean the dirt and grass from around the blade mounting area.
6. Replace all 4 blades to ensure a smooth even cut and re-t them on the
mower in the reverse direction they were removed.
7. Lastly, secure the nuts rmly, (20-25Nm) repeating this for the other
3 blades.
8. Replace the blade mounting plate (40) with new blades attached, then
the outer ange (38), followed by the blade bolt (37). Retighten the blade
bolt tightly (50 – 59Nm).
NOTE: Use a wooden block to stop the blade from turning. The 4 blades
should be tightened fully but check to ensure they can still swing back
if they were to hit a solid object. Where required tighten the bolts with a
torque wrench, the centre disc blade bolt torque: 50 – 59Nm and the four
blades torque: 20-25Nm. If you do not have a torque wrench ask a mower
service dealer to tighten the blade bolts before you use the mower.
Blades should be replaced when they become worn and no longer cut
the grass cleanly. The performance of grass catching can also reduce if the
blades become worn. Replacement blade sets are available for purchase
from https://help.tools/ or by calling 1300 889 028.
Removing Oil
IMPORTANT: Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to ensure
rapid and complete draining.
