Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look.
Insodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap each
other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove
grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more difficult to start
the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it
harder for the machine to bag the grass. Always mow along
inclines (not up and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up
the hill while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding out of
the straight line. Select the cutting height according to the
length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow
over it several times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are
cut at one time.
Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the blade.
Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine has been switched off. Never attempt
to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the
blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is
sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace
it. In the event that the blade strikes an object,immediately
switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and
the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
