OPERATION
Mowing
1.
Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the grass for a healthy lawn. In
the autumn, lawns should only be cut as long as there is growth.
2.
Slowly push the product forward.
3.
Mow in slightly overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight
lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is
cut without missing any spots.
4.
Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed in the middle of the lawn, cut a
width or two around the circumference of the bed.
5.
Pay special attention when changing direction.
