6.3 Tips on mowing properly
Danger!
Never open the chute flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and debris bag. Switch off the engine be-
fore you remove them.
Whenever you need to perform any kind of adjustment, maintenance or repair
work, switch off the engine and wait until the blade no longer rotates. Pull off
the spark plug connector.
Mowing
The engine is configured for an optimal grass cutting speed, for ejecting grass into
the debris bag, and for many years of use.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades
from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each
other by a few centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Depo-
sits not only make it more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of
the cut and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower
from slipping down by holding a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting
height according to the length of the grass. If necessary, mow a number of times
so that you never cut more than 4cm of grass in one go.
Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the
blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been switched
off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade
is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case,
sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, im-
mediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete
stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any
parts that are damaged.
