wait until the blade has stopped rotating before proceeding.
The mower can be carried using the convenient carry
handles (9).
Hints for optimum use
If the grass is longer than approximately 10 cm, make
two cuts to obtain a better finish. First mow at maximum
height of cut, then use a low or medium height of cut.
In order to achieve optimum results, only mow dry
grass.
