4. HOW TO MOW
• While using your lawn mower always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers.
• Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris;
they could be thrown by the blade.
• Before using the lawn mower and after any impact, check for
signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.
• Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove
grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more difficult to start
the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it
harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
• Replace a worn or damaged blade together with the blade bolt
to preserve balance.
WARNING!
DO NOT MOW IN POOR VISIBILITY
CONDITIONS, IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GRASS IS WET.
• Start mowing the edge
of the lawn and work
along making sure to
overlap each pass by a
few centimetres.
• When mowing long grass be sure to not overload the engine.
First cut with the highest cutting height and then to the
desired height. This will help reduce the load.
WARNING!:
NEVER LET THE BATTERY COME IN CONTACT
WITH FUEL. DO NOT USE BATTERY IF COVERED IN FUEL.
