Normally, the blade is made to protrude to the left as seen from the user (There are ones with blades on the other hand for left-handers, but in order to prevent accidents, Consideration should be taken not to work simultaneously with the person who uses it).

Sickles are often used for mowing but sometimes also called "scything" to distinguish them from mowing by other machines and the like.
The operation in the mowing operation is as follows.
1. Stretch your arms straight, hold the handle at the top with the left hand, grasp the handle at the center or the center of the handle with your right hand, hold the scythe so that the blade is parallel to the ground as it rubs the ground. 2. The user first moves his torso to twist to the right and creates a sump. 3. Continue twisting the barrel to the left and moving the blade greatly and getting caught in the grass etc.
The above operation can be continued with a constant rhythm, but as mentioned above, it is interrupted frequently to sharpen a thin blade of a sickle.
Using the right technique, we can continue to cut grass with narrow width every swing.

Be careful when cutting too much of the ground so much that it will pollute the blades with soil and will sharp down quickly.
