Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the
grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
How frequently you should mow your lawn is determined primarily
by the speed at which the grass grows. In the main growing season
(May - June) you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a week,
otherwise just once a week. The cutting height should be between
4 - 6cm and the amount of growth before mowing again should be 4 -
5cm. If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer for whatever re-
ason, do not make the mistake of cutting it back to the normal height
in one go. This will harm the lawn. Never cut it back by more than half
the height in one go.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass
build-up. Deposits not only make it more di

cult to start the mower;
they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the equip-
ment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the
lawn mower from slipping down by holding a position at an angle up-
wards.
Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. Make
several passes so that no more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.

the motor before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in
mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the
motor has been switched o

. Never attempt to manually stop the
blade. Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in
good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the
blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, im-
