8 USING THE ACCESSORY

Make sure the grass to be cut is com-
pletely free of foreign objects such as
stones etc.
8.1

CUTTING HEIGHT

For best results, cut off the top third of the grass.
See fig. (15). To adjust the cutting height see
heading 6.9.
If the grass is long and needs cutting back signifi-
cantly, cut twice using two different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven.
This would entail a risk of the cutting devices being
damaged against the surface and the lawn's top
layer of soil being removed.
8.2

MOWING TIPS

To get the best mowing results, follow the tips
given below.
• Cut grass frequently.
• Run the machine at full revs.
• Grass should not be wet.
• Only use sharp cutting devices.
• Keep the bottom side of the cutting device
clean.
