Lawn mowers are dangerous devices. Each year, thousands of people are injured, usually the hands, forgetting the elementary precautions (do not touch the blade without having disconnected the power outlet for an electric mower or removing the spark plug cap on thermal engines).
Lawn mowers running on gasoline have health risks, due to highly concentrated noxious fumes that causes gasoline which affects the respiratory and nervous system and can cause blood cancer in case of 'too prolonged exposure to benzene. These mowers which are not equipped with catalyst produce the same amount of benzene of 26 cars. In addition, inhaling oil fumes or absorbing through the skin can lead to severe poisoning. An alternative to conventional gasoline for these mowers is alkylated gasoline. It can remove 95% of the harmful substances. This fuel is pure; it is poor benzene, xylene, toluene and other harmful hydrocarbons. Its combustion also produces little fines particles.
The most common reason causes so much damage is that the lawn mower is used incorrecly for a long time then it gets gradually broken.

Mow at the right height
The more you mow flush, the more often it must be mow!
The cutting height depends on the type of lawn grass species that were planted and aesthetics that is desired:
Note that: In all cases, do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass height at each cut.
The cutting height depends on the type of lawn grass species that were planted and aesthetics that is desired:
- An ornamental grass should be mowed very flush (1-3 cm): it must be made of grass species adapted to this type of lawn and requires frequent mowing.
- A grass relaxation or sport is mowed to 5 cm. The more turf is stepped on, the longer it takes the store long (up to 10 cm).
Note that: In all cases, do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass height at each cut.
What to do with grass clippings?
- Leave them on site
- Use them as mulch in other parts of the garden
This "mulching" limits evaporation during dry periods and save watering.
- The compost
