MOWING TIPS
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially
when cutting high grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once
per year, as described in the Maintenance section.
•
Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could
damage the blades or the motor. These objects could be accidentally thrown by the
mower in any direction, and could cause serious personal injury to the operator and
to others. In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or
wet conditions.
•
Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
•
When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective
cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
•
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2" long during cool months, and
between 2" to 3 1/4" long during hot months.

underside of
thick grass may require a narrower cut. The ground speed should be adjusted to the
condition of the lawn. If mowing

maximum of 3 1/4" .
•
Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows. Do not let the grass get too tall. If
the grass gets too long, start at the highest cutting position and work down to the
desired cutting height.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the battery.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating
