How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power
point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have al-
ready cut.
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season, your
lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at
one time and this may also result in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower
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 lawnmower
which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick
grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help
reduce the load. See Cutting Height Adjustment.
Edging Comb (R1) - if applicable
