Mowing Tips
NOTE:
A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting
high grass.
Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per year, as described in the Mainte-
nance section.
• Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires and other objects that could damage the
blades or the motor. These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any
direction, and could cause serious personal injury to the operator and to others.
• In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or wet conditions.
• Do not mow in a circle. Travel back and forth across the lawn. (Fig. 1)
• When cutting thick grass, reduce walking 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 of the
total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm)
long during cool months, and more than 2” (5 cm) long during hot months. If there is growth,
the lawn should be cut in the fall.
• While cutting, ensure that the electric cable is always behind you and on the area of grass
already cut. The lawn will look better if it is always cut to the same height and in alternate
directions.
WARNING
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and disconnect the
power cord. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair
any damage before operating the mower.
