lawnmower.

Do not use the start/stop levers

To Stop your Lawnmower

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 already cut. (S)
2. Cut your grass twice a week during the
growing season, your lawn will suffer if more
than a third of its length is cut at one time.
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 Adjusting the Cutting
Height.
