cloth dipped in soapy water. Also, use a soft brush to
brush off grass cuttings and dirt from blades.
The mowing speed guideline is approximately one
meter per four seconds.

alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.

one half to one third the previous strip to mow the lawn evenly.

Loosen the thumb nuts while holding the handle,
then widen the handle outside a little, and then fold the
handle.

Change the mowing direction each time to prevent the
grass grain pattern from forming in just one direction.
► Fig.26
CAUTION: When folding the handle, be care-
ful not to pinch your hand or fingers.
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: Make sure that the arrow indicates the mark
at the most front position.
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.
