• MOWING PROCEDURE
The key to successful electric lawn mowing is a systematic approach to
cutting.
Take a few moments to plan your rst cut using the principles described
here.
After one or two uses you will nd the simplest way of cutting your own
particular lawn.
1. Lay cord on ground near outlet in neat, loose coils with mower end of
cord on top. It is important to arrange cord systematically to avoid
annoying loops and knots.
2. Starting at point nearest electrical outlet, move back and forth across
lawn.
3. Each lawn with its trees, shrubs, and other obstructions requires a
dierent mowing procedure. A little experimenting will enable you to
choose the easiest method of handling the cord on your lawn.
