9.1 General
Risk of injury!
Untangle any knots in the cable
immediately.
Guide the electric cable behind you
when mowing. Electric cables can
be inadvertently cut when mowing
and present a tripping hazard. They
therefore involve a high accident
11.5).
risk. For this reason, mow so that
the electric cable is always visible
in the area of grass that has already
been cut.
To ensure a perfect, thick lawn, mow
regularly and keep the grass short.
Do not cut the lawn too short in hot, dry
conditions as it will dry out or burn in the
sun and become unsightly.
The cutting pattern will be better with a
sharp blade than with a blunt one; the
blade should therefore be sharpened
regularly (VIKING specialist dealer).

9.2 Correct motor load

Do not switch on the lawn mower in tall
grass or at the lowest cutting height.
The lawn mower load must never cause
the motor speed to drop significantly.
If the speed drops, select a higher cutting
height setting and/or reduce the rate of
feed.
