objects thrown into the eyes, which can
!
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your

The cutting height is controlled by turning the height adjust-
ment knob in desired direction.
•
Turn knob clockwise (f'-'_l) to raise cutting height.
°
Turn knob counterclockwise
()f"_)
to lower cutting
height.
The cutting height range is approximately 1-t/2" to 4". The
heights are measured from the ground to the blade tip with
the engine net running.
These heights are approximate
and may vary depending upon soil conditions,
height of
grass and types of grass being mowed.
•
The average lawn should be cutto approximately 2-I/2
inches during the cool season and to over 3 inches
during hot months.
For healthier and better looking
lawns, mow often and after moderate growth.
•
For best cutting performance,
grass over 8 inches in
height should be mowed twice.
Make the first cut
relatively high; the second to desired height.
