• Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and have full control over the product.

MOWING

• Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
• To reduce the possibility of disconnecting the lawn mower from the extension cord, ensure that the cord retainer is used.
• For a healthy plot of grass, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
• When cutting heavy grass; reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.
• Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck (17) and prevent proper mulching of grass clippings.
• New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
• Clean the underside of the mower deck (17) after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris.

Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut without missing any spots (Fig.21).

NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the e act order in which they were removed.

SHARPENING THE BLADE (See Fig. 25)

For best mowing performance, the mower blade must be kept sharp. A dull blade does not cut grass evenly and overloads the motor. Under normal circumstances, sharpening the blade twice during the mowing season is usually sufficient. However, if your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpenings may be required.

• Following the instructions in the Replacing the Cutting Blade section, remove the mower blade. DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower.
• Using a fine-tooth file or sharpening stone, sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.
  

When removing, inspect the blade carefully. If blade is bent or damaged, replace immediately with a new blade. Failure to replace a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury.

BALANCING THE BLADE (See Fig. 26)

When sharpening, care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when the mower is running. This vibration will eventually cause damage to the mower, especially the motor.

To check the blade balance:

• Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vise as shown.
  
  NOTE: If a vise is not available, a straight nail can also be used.
• Place the center hole of blade on the screwdriver(or nail) shank.
• If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward, sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.

REPLACING WHEELS (See Fig. 27)

To replace a wheel (9):

• Disconnect the mower from the power supply.
• Turn the mower on its side.
