WORKING WITH THE DEVICE

Comply with noise prevention and local regulations. Re-
gular mowing encourages grass plants to grow more lea-
ves and also kills weeds. The grass therefore becomes
thicker each time it is mown and an even lawn is formed.
The first cut should be carried out around April when the
growth height is approximately 70 - 80 mm. Mow the
lawn at least once per week in the main vegetation time.
• Use the device in straight lines as far as possible.
The lines should overlap by a few centimetres to
ensure that there are no gaps.
• Adjust the cutting height so that the device is not
overloaded. Otherwise, the motor may get damaged.
• When working on slopes, always mow across the
slope. Take particular care when going backwards
and pulling the device.
• Clean the device after each use as described in the
"Cleaning and maintenance" chapter.
