depends if it's electric or gas. If it's electric the only advice I can give is know your yard and have someone sighted there to go over what you miss. If you have a long yard go up the one side, down the back, and up the other side and then the front edge. Once you get back to the beginning of where you started move the lawn mower over and to the left or right a little, depending on what side of the yard you started on. Lawn Mowers have a protective cover over the blade so you're not going to reach under the mower but if you feel where the wheels are and a little in front you can make sure that you're cutting grass and not going over a spot already missed. I tend to stop quickly feel over to the left or the right depending on what side I just came from to see if I am going in a straight line. Usually I miss a spot here and there but it's not that big of a deal as the sighted person will go over what I missed and it takes them a couple seconds. If you have any further questions feel free to write me.

Is there a safe way a totally blind person can use lawn mowers? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
