Got a steep bank I mow and playing uo my knee can I avoid the steeper bit on health and safety grounds- slip hazard or something? Or wild flowers and just do flatter bits?

Also putting attachments into multivtool often doesn't go in smoothly, why eventually but what's out of line?

Yes of course you can lie to whoever you are doing the work for.

That would be stupid and dishonest - why not be honest about your knees, and use it as an opportunity for an agreement about a bit of managed rewilding?

But essentially - why are you asking us rather than the people you do the work for?
 
I have seen people cut grass on a steep slope like that with a cheap hover mower and send it down with rope attached to the handle as it can fold flat and then pull it back up and work your way across

Can you image the insurance claim, 'so you had a petrol mower with a rope tied to the handle and you tried to cut the grass on a slope?'

So say - just too steep for my knee and was slipping on that slope. I'll leave steepest bit.

This mower sounds wrong, just oil cap missing ? and on multi-tool is the spark plug missing lol?

Would the person responsible for the grass(a council? Homeowner?) be willing to find someone else to do that bit?

To my mind, I think I’d have a go at modifying the mower so it can be driven sideways, then you can stay on the path, or devise a clip on extension to the handle (eg with a rope that pulls the “drive forward” bar), again so you can drive it from the path

I wouldn’t run the mover without the oil cap fitted
