Cutting System Maintenance
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so that the cable is laid out on the lawn you
have already cut.
2. Mow twice a week in the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than one third of its length is cut at one
time.
Do not Overload your Lawnmower
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.

sharp edges could cause injury. USE GLOVES.
