How to Mow

1. 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. (S) Cut your grass twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time. 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 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.

How to Mow

1. 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. (S) 2. Cut your grass twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time. 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 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.
