Operation
WARNING!
Do not touch the rotating blade.
1. Turn the hover mower over and remove the blades (see
replacing the blades).
2. Fit the blades onto the blade holder pegs on the upper side
of the blade holder for the lowest cut (see Fig I) or onto the
lower side for the highest cut (see Fig J).
Mowing
1. Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the
grass for a healthy lawn. In the autumn, lawns should only be
cut as long as there is growth.
2. Slowly push the product forward.
3. Mow in slightly overlapping rows. The most effective pattern
for mowing lawns is straight lines along one of the sides. This
will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut
without missing any spots.
