6. Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-

ing order and be properly mounted. A guard

that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-

rectly may result in personal injury.

7. Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.

Blocked air inlets and debris may result in over-

heating or risk of re.

8. While operating the lawnmower, always wear

non-slip and protective footwear. Do not oper-

ate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing

open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury

to the feet from contact with the moving blade.

9. While operating the lawnmower, always wear

long trousers. Exposed skin increases the likeli-

hood of injury from thrown objects.

10. Do not operate the lawnmower in wet grass.

Walk, never run. This reduces the risk of slipping

and falling which may result in personal injury.

11. Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively

steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of

control, slipping and falling which may result in

personal injury.

12. When working on slopes, always be sure of

your footing, always work across the face

of slopes, never up or down and exercise

extreme caution when changing direction. This

reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and

falling which may result in personal injury.

13. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling

the lawnmower towards you. Always be aware

of your surroundings. This reduces the risk of

tripping during operation.

14. Do not touch blades and other hazardous

moving parts while they are still in motion. This

reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.

15. When clearing jammed material or cleaning

the lawnmower, make sure all power switches

are o and the battery pack is disconnected.

Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may

result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: When cutting long lawn or dense lawn, if the

unevenness in the length of lawn or poor nish is

found after mowing, or decrease of the motor speed

is found during mowing, decrease the mowing speed

lower than recommended in this manual, or raise the

mowing height.

The center lines of the front wheels are guidelines to

mowing width. Using the center lines as guidelines,

mow in strips. Overlap by one half to one third the previ-

ous strip to mow the lawn evenly.

► Fig.35:

1. Mowing width 2. Overlapping area 3. Center line

Change the mowing direction each time to prevent the

Periodically check the grass basket for mowed grass.

Empty the grass before it becomes full. Before every

periodical check, be sure to stop and turn o the machine.

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 long lawn

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

lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between mowings

until the lawn becomes evenly short.

► Fig.37

NOTE: Mowing long lawn to short length all at once

may cause the lawn to die. The cut lawn may also

block up inside of the mower body.

NOTE: If the unevenness in the length of lawn or poor

nish is found after mowing, or decrease of the motor

speed is found during mowing, decrease the mowing

speed, or raise the mowing height.
