  • NOTE : Release the switch to turn the mower off when crossing any gravelled area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
  • For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck, preventing proper mulching of grass clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
  • The ground speed should be adjusted to the condition of the lawn.
  • If the grass is longer than 4″ (10 cm), mow the lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to a maximum of 3 ¼” (8.3 cm).
