blade stops before proceeding to adjust the height.
Blades need a few moments to stop completely after
you turn off the engine.
7.3. CUTTING WITH THE LAWNMOWER
Place the mower in a corner of the lawn area to be cut
and set the desired cutting height.

that the blade is not in contact with any object, and
start the mower.
Walk on the grass to the rhythm of the mower.
Do not tilt the machine with the engine running except
in the case that you have to start cutting tall grass,
which is the only case in which you may raise the
front wheels slightly to facilitate entry of the mower to
the work area.
