Square Mode Cutting - Husqvarna Automower Technical Manual

Blades
The blades must be in good condition to obtain the
best mowing result. In order to keep the blades sharp
for as long as possible it is important to keep the lawn
free from branches, small stones and other objects.
Poor or dull blades can result in the grass bending
instead of being mown, the tops become frayed and
Automower may find it difficult to mow a large
working area. Besides, the lawn can become
extremely rumpled and uneven.
It is more important to have well-kept and sharp
blades on an Automower, than on a conventional
lawn mower. It is the principle of the Automower
cutting the grass instead of knocking it off that makes
this difference.
The double ground blades and a mower program that
rotates the blade disc in both directions increase the
life of the blades.
NOTE!
Worn blades should not be ground or whetted
and then reused. This is to prevent the mowing system
from becoming imbalanced. Do not reuse old screws
either. When the blades are worn, all three blades and
the screws must be replaced with new ones.
Irregular mowing pattern
The Automower mows the lawn in an irregular
pattern. This gives a very even mowing result. In
addition, there are no distinctive tracks left in the
lawn, which is often the case when using a
conventional lawn mower.
Automower does not need to be pre-programmed for
it to reach all corners of the working area. The mower
automatically reaches all areas.

1.6 Square mode cutting

Sometimes the Automower can change the mowing
pattern and start to mow in a square pattern instead.
This is called square mode cutting. The purpose of
square mode cutting is to quickly get the same length
of grass over the entire working area.
When an Automower starts square mode cutting this
means it has perceived the lawn in one area to be
longer and/or thicker than before. The
length/thickness of the lawn in the area does not
need to differ that much from the other areas for the
Automower to start square mode cutting. Sometimes
the difference is hardly visible.
