I love to cut my grass. I never had any real issue using my mower. Now I have a riding mower but none the less it never caused any trouble for me.

Absolutely no problem with our ride-on mower and my pacemaker. Haven't tried the petrol strimmer yet since the engine is a lot nearer the pm. Fairly heavy power tools, getting used quite close to the pm, have caused no problems.

With modern petrol engines with suppression leads there's very little radiated energy and should cause no problems with the current pacemakers.

So, enjoy your grass cutting.
