WARNING!
THE BLADE WILL COAST AFTER
THE SWITCH HAS BEEN RELEASED. BE AWARE
OF THE NECESSARY TIME IT TAKES FOR THE BLADE
TO STOP COASTING. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP THE
BLADE.
Start mowing the edge of the lawn
nearest to the power point so the
lead is laid out on the lawn you have
already cut.
For optimum grass collection, always mow in a straight line; do
not swing the lawn mower from side to side.
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop; you will
hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may
overload your lawn mower, which may cause damage. When mowing
in long thick grass first cut with the cutting height set in the highest
position, this will help reduce the load.
Do Not Overload the Mower
The tool is recommended for use with a residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30mA or less.
