The center lines of the front wheels are guidelines to
mowing width. Using the center lines as guidelines,
mow in strips. Overlap by one half to one third the previ-
ous strip to mow the lawn evenly.

Change the mowing direction each time to prevent the
grass grain pattern from forming in just one direction.

Periodically check the grass basket for mowed grass.
Empty the grass before it becomes full. Before every
periodical check, be sure to stop the mower then
remove the lock key and the battery cartridge.
NOTICE:
Using the mower with the grass basket full
prevents smooth blade rotation and places an extra
load on the motor, which may cause breakdown.
Mowing long lawn
Do not try to cut long lawn all at once. Instead, mow the
lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between mowings
until the lawn becomes evenly short.

NOTE: Mowing long lawn to short length all at once
may cause the lawn to die. The cut lawn may also
block up inside of the mower body.

found after mowing, or decrease of the motor speed is found during

mowing, decrease the mowing speed, or raise the mowing height.
