Operating Tips
General Tips
•
Review the safety instructions and read this manual
carefully before operating the mower.
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris which could be picked up or hit by the
blade and become thrown objects.
•
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the area of operation.
•
Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs, or other solid
objects. Never deliberately mow over any object.
•
If an object is struck, or the mower starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and examine the mower for damage.
•
Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on blade.
•
Replace the blade when necessary with an original
Lawn-Boy replacement blade.
