The outside edges of the front wheels are guidelines
to mowing width. Using the outside edges of the front
wheels as guidelines, mow in strips. Overlap by one half
to one third the previous strip to mow the lawn evenly.

edge
Change the mowing direction each time to prevent the
grass grain pattern from forming in just one direction.
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.
NOTICE:
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.
Emptying the grass basket
WARNING:
To reduce a risk of accident, reg-
ularly check the grass basket for any damage or
weakened strength. Replace the grass basket if
necessary.
