er. lovelier lawn with generally fewer
weeds. Mow more frequently during peri­
ods of fast growth. Frequent cutting
ensures that the lower, less attractive
portion of the grass will not show.
If your lawn has grown too long, (a vaca­
tion, for example, may interrupt your cut­
ting schedule) mow at a cutting height
one or two positions higher than normal.
A second pass at “normal” cutting height
a few days later will put your lawn back
on schedule. Changing the cutting height
Is a simple matter with the One Touch
Wheel Height Adjustment, which simulta­
neously adjusts all four wheels at once.
During the spring and fall, (or after an
interruption to the cutting schedule) the
grass will be longer and thicker. If the
motor continually slows down while cut­
ting, try setting the wheels for a higher
cutting height. Excessive motor loading
can result in uneven cutting, quicker dis­
charge of the battery, and can cause the
circuit breaker to trip, which stops the
motor.
• Three good ideas to enhance your
lawn's appearance; Vary the mowing
direction frequently; mow horizontally on
hillsides; (this is also a good safety prac­
tice) and do not forget to overlap the
mowing path on each pass.
•.Always mow grass so that clippings are
discharged onto cut lawn. This will keep
your lawn looking fresh by avoiding “Cut
Grass" build-up which will eventually
brown and appear ugly. This method
also preserves your battery charge,
ensuring you get the most from your
Craftsman Cordless Power Mower.
• During the spring and fall seasons when
the grass is longer and thicker, you can
use your mower without it being fully
recharged, (i.e. green charge indication
light is on). This will enable you to per­
form short cutting tasks, but we don’t
recommend this be done frequently. The
battery and mower perform much better
if charged fully.
