Flymo RE420c How to Mow, Cutting System Maintenance, Caring for your Lawnmower, USE Gloves

How to Mow

1.Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the

power point so that the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already cut (T).

2.Mow twice a week in the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more that one third of its length is cut at

one time and this may also result in poor collection.

•Please Note

Do not overload your Lawnmower

When mowing in long thick grass a first cut with the cutting height adjusted to its highest setting, (see Cutting Height Adjustment), will help reduce motor overload and will help prevent damage to your lawn- mower.
