How to Use
1. Start cutting the edge of the lawn nearest to the
power point so that the cable is laid out on the
lawn you have already cut. (J)
2. Cut twice a week in the growing season, your
lawn will suffer if more than one third of its length
is cut at one time.
Do not Overload your Product
Cutting long thick grass may cause the motor
speed to drop, you will hear a change in the
motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may
overload your product which may cause damage.
When using in long thick grass, a first cut with the
cutting height set higher will help reduce the load.
See Adjusting the Cutting Height.
