Mowing Tips
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of
the mower, especially when cutting high grass.
Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per
year, as described in the Maintenance section.
• Verify that the lawn is free of stone, sticks, wires and other
objects that could damage the blades or the motor.
These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in
any direction, and could cause serious personal injury to the
operator and to others.
• In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower
in damp or wet conditions.
• Do not mow in a circle. Travel back and forth across the
lawn. (Fig. 8)
• When cutting thick grass, reduce 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
of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be
approximately 1-1/2 to 2-IN. (3.8 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, ensure that the electric cable is always
behind you and 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.
