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. (J)
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.

through the slot as illustrated in picture (E)
3. To secure, position loop over the hook and pull
