  • This appears to be a common problem with this model, having read this question I tried my (broken) mower with the grass lid open and it ran perfectly. I then told a friend whose mower wasn't working and she tried with the lid up and it worked perfectly. I would expect a company with a good reputation as Flymo to have investigated and advised/warned users of these dangerous occurrence, after all it is a safety mechanism. Perhapse after someone gets seriously injured they will investigate. By phil m - Stoke on trent - 18 June 2014
