Oh, OK. I just assumed it was impossible for a mower to work well...

The cord is neon orange for a very good reason. In all my years of being 
alive, I have almost never seen a petrol mower (except the big 
industrial ones for mowing parks and greens and such). I have also never 
seen anybody actually cut their power cord while mowing either.

When was the last time you ran your vacuum cleaner over the power cord? 
Or is that petrol-powered too? ;-)
