HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL
HINTS TO GET THE MOST FROM
YOUR BLACK
& DECKER
MOWER...AND
KEEP YOUR LAWN
LOOKING
BEAUTIFUL
1.
Lawns should first be mowed in the spring when the grass is
about 2 1/2 to 3 inches high. Mowing too early restricts the grass
root systems which renew themselves
every spring. New grass
should be clipped when it is about 2 1/2 inches high.
Do not remove too much grass blade surface at one time...never
more than 1/3 of the leaf height during each cutting. Cutting too
close "shocks" sensitive
grass blades, resulting
in a shallow
root
system and thus making it more difficult for your lawn to reach
water in the soil.

Lawn care experts say that excessively
close cutting is
responsible
for much of the difficulty experienced
on many lawns.
The depth and strength of the roots of grass are almost exactly
proportional
to its growth. Grasses of mature lawns often are seri-
ously injured when mowed shorter than 1 1/2 inches, and a height
of 1 1/2 to 2 inches is preferred on large lawns.
Mow your lawn when it is dry to avoid clumping of wet grass. If
you have a choice, late afternoon
is the ideal time for mowing, not
only because the grass is dry, but also because the sensitive
new
cut area of the grass will not be exposed to intense sunlight.
Keep the mowing blade sharp for a nice clean cut. This improves
the mower's
performance
and enhances
the look of your lawn. A
dull blade shatters and bruises the tips of the grass. This impairs
the healthy growth of your lawn and increases susceptibility
to turf
diseases,
if the grass tips are bruised it causes a brownish colour
and gives your lawn an unhealthy
appearance.
A dull blade may
also pull up young seedlings.
Try to mow your lawn at the same (consistent)
cutting height.
While there are times when you should vary the cutting height
with the changing
seasons, a consistent
cutting height produces a
healthier, lovelier lawn with generally
fewer weeds. Mow more
frequently
during periods of fast growth. Frequent cutting ensures
that the lower, less attractive portion of the grass will not show.
if your lawn has grown too long, (a vacation, for example,
may
interrupt your cutting schedule)
mow at a cutting height one or two
positions
higher than normal. A second pass at "normal" cutting
height a few days later will put your lawn back on schedule.
Changing
the cutting height is a simple matter with
Black & Decker's One Touch Wheel Height Adjustment,
which
simultaneously
adjusts all four wheels at once.
During the spring and fall, (or after an interruption
to the cutting
schedule)
the grass will be longer and thicker. If the motor
continually
slows down while cutting, try setting the wheels for a
higher cutting height. Excessive
motor loading can result in
uneven cutting, quicker discharge
of the battery, and can cause
the circuit breaker to trip, which stops the motor.
Three good ideas to enhance your lawn's appearance:
Vary the
mowing direction frequently;
mow horizontally
on hillsides; (this is
also a good safety practice) and do not forget to overlap the
mowing path on each pass.
10. Always mow grass so that clippings
are discharged
onto cut lawn.
This will keep your lawn looking fresh by avoiding "Cut Grass"
build-up which will eventually
brown and appear ugly.
