OPERATION

Mowing
WARNING:
• Before mowing, clear away sticks and stones from
mowing area. Furthermore, clear away any weeds from
mowing area in advance.
• Always wear the safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields when operating the mower.
Firmly hold the lawn mower handle with both hands
when mowing.
The width between the middle of the front wheels shows
the guideline of the mowing range. For even mowing,
overlap the mowing area partially to the previous mowed
area.
Periodically check the level of the grass basket, and
empty before it becomes full. Before every periodical
check, be sure to stop the mower and remove the lock
key and the battery cartridge.
NOTE:
• Using the lawn 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 (Fig. 22)
Do not try to cut long grass all in one go. Instead, mow
the lawn in stages, leaving it for a day or two between
mows, until the lawn is evenly short.
NOTE:
• Mowing long grass to a short length all in one go may
cause the grass to die and/or block up the inside of the
main unit.
Emptying the grass basket (Fig. 23)

basket for any damage or weakened strength and
replace it if necessary.

3. Open the rear guard and take out the grass basket
with its handle.
