4 . Practical tips:
4.1. Follow local regulations for the time of day during which you can use machines
outdoors. In some countries prohibit mowing morning before 08.00 hours , in the afternoon
between 2:00 p.m. to 16:00 hours and after 22:00 at night , to protect citizens from unwanted
noise.
4.2 . Often lawns are composed of grasses of different varieties . With frequent mowing you
will boost the growth of those species that form dense sod and strong roots. If you mow your
lawn frequently will strengthen and improve the development of high- growing grasses and
weeds . The normal height of the grass is about 4-5 cm. Better to plan the frequency of mowing
a lawn that can reduce up to 1 /3 of the total height of the grass. If you do not irrigate your lawn
, mow grass lower than 4 cm, since a potential drought it will degenerate .
4.3 . When working in very difficult conditions not to overload the motor. When reloading
the rotational speed of the motor drops and noise is changed . In this case, stop , release the
lever to include ( 1 ) and set higher mowing height . Otherwise, performance will be reduced
and the machine may be damaged .
4.4 . When cutting close to edges careful not to pinch trim foreign objects .
4.5 . Cutting performance depend on the density , moisture content, length of the grass and
the cutting height . Cutting performance decreases with frequent switching on and off of the
trimmer during mowing . To optimize the performance of the cutting recommended frequent
cutting , increasing the height of the cutting operation and at a moderate speed .
