How to Mow  
1. For the best results, mow the outside edge of the  
lawn in a clockwise direction first.  
2. Then 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.  
3. For best grass collection, always mow in a straight line,  
do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.  
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 over-  
load 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 Cutting Height  
Adjustment. Mow twice a week during the growing season,  
your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at  
one time and this may also result in poor collection.  
Removing and Fitting the Blade and Fan  
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges  
could cause injury. USE GLOVES.
