Mowing is integral to yard care. When it comes to cutting
grass with an electric mower, it is very similar to how you cut grass with a
gas-powered lawnmower. If you are accustomed to working with a manual real
lawnmower, you need to consider a few differences when making the switch.
We are rounding up a few tips for to safely cut grass with an
electric mower. These tips are by landscaping Simpsonville professionals in SC.
Safety
Measures- Before you start, it is important that you remove any
objects from the lawn as with any lawnmower. Your mower may get damaged if you
run it over these things and stepping on them can lead to an accident. It is as
crucial to wear non-slip footwear along with eye protection, and do away with
any loose articles of clothing or jewelry. You aren’t required to wear hearing
protection as electric mowers doesn’t make that much noise. Do not use electric
mowers on wet grass as these models are less tolerant of wet grass than others.
If you use an electric mower on wet grass, what will happen is wet grass will
slow down the blades thus forcing the motor to push harder, which can damage
the motor apart from draining your battery and popping your circuit breaker.
Charge The
Mower- Fully charge the battery before using a battery-powered
mower, which is particularly important if it is the first time that you’ve
charged the battery as rechargeable batteries suffer a loss in their ability to
retain power or charge all the way if not charged fully the first time. Ensure
all the connections are secure. Make sure all cords are securely plugged into
their outlets. Use an extension cord if necessary, if your electric mower is
running off a power cord.
Mow- When using
electric mowers, do not use it to cut especially heavy, overgrown grass, you
may require making multiple passes for grass that is long and thick as electric
mowers particularly those running on batteries do not have as much power behind
them to spin the blades.
Cordless
Mowers:
Cordless mowers are way safer than outlet-powered mowers in
terms of running time. These mowers are the ideal choice for smaller yards, as
anything else will necessitate cessation to let the battery recharge.
Way To
Prevent Damaging The Mower Blades:
The blades will noticeably have less force behind them when you
are running low on power, thus the grass will begin to look choppy. Turn off
the mower right away and recharge the battery if this happens to prevent
damaging the blades and the motor.
