Firmly hold the lawn mower handle with both hands
when mowing.
The outside edges of the front wheels is the guideline
for mowing width. Using the two front wheel outside
edges as a guideline, mow in strips, overlapping by
one half to one third the previous strip, to mow the lawn
evenly.
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.
NOTE:
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 a long-grass lawn
Do not try to cut long grass all in one go. Instead, mow
the lawn in some steps. Leave a day or two between
mows until the lawn becomes evenly short.
NOTE:
Mowing long grass to a short length all in one
go may cause the grass to die. The cut grass may
also block up inside of the mower body.

ularly check the grass basket for any damage or
weakened strength. Replace the grass basket if
necessary.
