The lines on both sides of the main body are guidelines
to mowing width. Using the lines as guidelines, mow in
strips. Overlap by one half to one third the previous strip
to mow the lawn evenly.

Periodically check the grass basket for mowed grass.
Empty the basket before it becomes full. Before every
periodic check, be sure to stop the machine.
NOTE: Using the mower with the grass basket full
prevents smooth blade rotation and places an extra
load on the motor, which may cause a breakdown.
Mowing a long-grass lawn
Do not try to cut long grass all at once. Instead, mow
the lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between mowings
until the lawn becomes evenly short.
NOTE: Mowing long grass to a short length all at
once may cause the grass to die. The cut grass may
also block up inside of the mower body.
Edge mowing
When mowing at the edge, be sure to move the
machine along the edge.
