WARNING!
The mower blade will continue to rotate for
a brief period after the unit has been switched off. Do not tilt or
carry the unit while the motor is still running and do not touch
the blade while it is still rotating. Failure to comply could result
in severe personal injury.
Grass Bag Filling Level Indicator

The grass bag is equipped with a filling level indicator
window that is opened by the airflow that the lawn mower
generates during operation (Fig. 12).
2.
If the flap closes during mowing, this indicates that the
grass bag is full and must be emptied (Fig. 12).
NOTE:
To ensure that the filling level indicator functions
properly, keep the holes under the flap clean and permeable.
Mowing Tips
m
WARNING!
Inspect the area prior to mowing and
remove all the stones, sticks, wires and other foreign objects
that could be picked up and thrown by the rotating blade.
Failure to comply not only will damage the mower blade,
but can also lead to serious personal injury.
• Be sure to check the mowing blade periodically for signs
of wear and replace as needed, as described in the
maintenance section.
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance
of the mower, especially when cutting tall blades of grass.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce your walking speed/
self-propelled 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 from the total length
of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately
1.5 in. to 2 in. (3.8 cm 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.
• The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same
height and in alternate directions.
• When crossing any gravelled surfaces, release the switch
bar lever to turn off the mower. The stones can be picked
up and thrown by the rotating blade.
• Set the mower to the highest cutting height when mowing
on uneven ground or in tall weeds.

WARNING!
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor
and remove thesafety key and batteries. Thoroughly inspect
the mower and repair any damage before resuming work.
