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.
