4. Function

Mowing correctly :
To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the lawn once a week if possible.
The lawn becomes thicker if cut frequently.
Relatively long cut grass ( > 1 cm) must be removed so that the lawn does not become yellow and
matted.
After relatively long intervals between mowing (holiday lawn), up to max. 12 cm, first of all cut in
one direction with the cutting height as high as possible, then cut in the crosswise direction at the
cutting height required.
Wherever possible, only mow dry lawns. Damp lawns may lead to uneven cutting.
The area of lawn you can mow with one charged accu depends on the height and thickness of the
lawn, i.e. the taller and thicker the lawn, the smaller the area of lawn you can mow with one fully
charged Accu.
With very dense grass, we recommend thatching the lawn. For example with the GARDENA
Lawn Aerator art. no. 4068.
