be dulled, causing poor performance.

NOTICE:

 

Do not trim the wet grass or foliage of 

small trees.

Cutting long lawn

Do not try to cut long grass all at once. Instead, cut the 

lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between cuts until the 

lawn becomes evenly short.

NOTE:

 Cutting long grass to a short length all at once 

may cause the grass to die.
