any residual grass in the collection chute, tilt your
lawnmower slightly (H).

1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn
you have already cut.

sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload
your lawnmower which may cause damage. When

Adjusting the Cutting Height.
REMEMBER: For best grass collection always
mow in a straight line, do not swing the lawnmower
from side to side.
