gloves
Check and make sure there is no build up of grass inside the casing
Check grass collector is allowing air to flow through the fabric. If it is clogged
it should be washed carefully
If the grass collector is not clogged raise the height of cut to increase airflow
Check to ensure the engine is running at the correct speed (approximately
3,000rpm)
If conditions are too severe to use the grass collector, remove it and work
with the deflector in position
This will certainly indicate that the blade has become badly damaged. Stop
the engine, disconnect the spark plug lead and examine the blade assembly.
