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 Maintenance 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.

When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and
