OW TO USE THE MACHINE
The action of the mulching plug in the cutter housing recycles the grass inside the
cutter housing, reducing it to finely-chopped shreds, which are then spread even-
ly over the lawn. This eliminates the need to collect the grass, and protects your
lawn from drying out in hot weather. Once shredded in this way, the grass cut-
tings break down quickly, enriching the soil. The use of the mulching plug helps
conserve the environment, by eliminating waste and reducing the noise made by
your mower.
