OPERATION
■ Always keep the power cord behind you and when you turn, move it to the side that has already
been mowed.
■ Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and
have full control over the product.
Mowing
(See Fig. 11)
■ Avoid cutting the power cord. It is advised to mow away from the plug socket and avoid twisting
the power cord (Fig. 11). Mow at a normal walking pace and always overlap tracks by a few
centimetres for a gap-free finish.
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the
lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any
direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■ To reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the lawn mower from the power cord, be sure to use
the cord retainer provided.
■ When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a
proper discharge of the clippings.
■ Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass for a healthy lawn. If it is
roughly 6cm long, the grass should not be shorter than 4cm once mowed. If the grass is higher,
you should gradually cut it down to the desired length so as not to damage the grass. Cutting
grass that is too long will result in poor collection performance and may overload the motor.
■ Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underbody of the lawn mower, preventing
the proper discharge of grass clippings resulting in poor collection performance.
■ Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that can result in severe injury.
Mowing on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your
safety, do not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be
tripped over or thrown by the blade.
■ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you
are losing your balance, release the switch lever immediately.
■ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
■ The mower is equipped with a rear roller, which leaves a striped finish on the lawn and helps to
prevent scalping on borders and edges.
