Firmly hold the lawn mower handle with both hands
when mowing.
The front wheel outside edges of the main unit provide a
guideline to mowing width. Using the two front wheel
outside edges as a guideline, mow in strips, overlapping
by one half to one third the previous strip, to mow the
lawn evenly.
Periodically check the level of the grass basket, and
empty before it becomes full. Before every periodical
checks, be sure to stop the mower and remove the lock
key and the battery cartridge.
NOTE:
Using the lawn mower with the grass basket full
•
prevents smooth blade rotation and places an
extra load on the motor, which may cause
breakdown.

the lawn in stages, leaving it for a day or two between

may cause the grass to die and/or block up the
inside of the main unit.
Emptying the grass basket
WARNING:
To reduce a risk of accident, regularly check the
•
grass basket for any damage or weakened
strength and replace it if necessary.
