Tips: For long grass, start mowing with the highest setting and then
gradually reduce the cutting height.
When and how to set up and take down a grass catch basin
Attach the grass catcher before operating the mower, see above for details
on grass catcher installation. When the mower is running, a blast of air
from the spinning blade will push out the grass indicator flap fig G1. When
the grass catcher is full, the indicator flap will rest flat fig. G2

unnecessarily overloading the engine.
Disconnect the grass hopper by doing the following:
1. Lift the rear grass outlet guard that is on top of the grass tank,
2. Lift the grass hopper up to detach it from the mower body.
3. Lower the rear grass outlet guard down.
Note: When mowing, safely place the extension cord on a sidewalk, path
or areas that have already been mowed.
WARNING!
When the engine is turned off, the blade continues to spin for a few
seconds, so do not touch the underside of the mower until the
blade stops!
Warning! When mowing, do not let the engine run under overload.
When an engine overload occurs, the engine speed slows down and you
will hear a change in engine sound, when this happens, stop mowing,
release the switch lever and raise the cutting height. Failure can cause
damage to the machine.
Select a cutting height that is suitable for the desired grass height. If
necessary, mow in several passes so that the maximum grass cutting
height per pass is 4 cm.
When mowing, make sure you avoid areas that could impede the free
movement of the extension cord.
Blade
Always disconnect the mower before checking the blade in any way. After
stopping the engine, remember that the blade will continue to run for a few
seconds before it stops. Never try to stop the blade. Check at regular
intervals that the blade is properly attached, is in good condition, and is
sharpened properly. Replace it if necessary.
If the rotating blade strikes any object, stop the mower and wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the blade
and the blade holder. Replace the blade immediately if it has been
damaged.
