mower for the better direction control.
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle and
walk, never run with the mower, be very

use the mower on a steep slope of more
than 20°.
The best result will be achieved if the grass
is dry. Wet grass will tend to clog the blade
and the grass collection system. Grass
grows at different rates at different time of
the year.
