MOWING PROCEDURE

• Inspect area where mower is to be used
and remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, and other debris which might be
thrown by the rotating blades.

to the electrical outlet, out of the path of
the mower.
CAUTION: Do not plug extension
cord into receptacle outlet while standing
in water or when hands are wet.
• Begin mowing in the area closest to the
outlet. Always mow forward in a back
and forth pattern across the lawn. Keep
the cord on the cut portion of the lawn.
