To use the mower without the grass box
For larger areas of grass where grass collection is not required you can use the product without the grass box. The cut grass drop on the lawn.
1. Open the lid (12).
2. Remove the grass box of the product by the handle (14).
3. Close the lid (12).
Tips to use the mower
1. Mow twice a week during the growing season. The lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time and this may also result in poor collection.
2.
For the best results mow the outside edge of the lawn in a clockwise direction first.
3. Start to mow the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point. So the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut.
4.
For best grass collection always mow in a straight line. Do not swing the lawnmower from side to side.
5. For the best cutting results mow in straight lines with an overlap of approximately 8 - 10 cm on each pass with the mower.
6. Do Not overload the mower. To mow long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop and you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload the mower which may cause damage. When you mow in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See adjusting the cutting height.
