Tips to use the Mower [ Fig. O6 ]:
1. Mow twice a week during the growing season.
The lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length
is cut at one time.
2. For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn
in a clockwise direction first.
3. Start to mow the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point.
So the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.
4. For the best cutting results mow in straight lines with an
overlap of approximately 8 – 10 cm on each pass with
the mower.
5. Do not overload the mower. To mow long thick grass
may cause the motor speed to drop and you will hear
a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops
you may overload the mower which may cause damage.
When you mow in long thick grass a first cut with the
cutting height set higher will help reduce the load.
See “To adjust the cutting height”.
