To produce a well-maintained lawn, we recommend to cut
the lawn regularly once a week if possible. The lawn
becomes thicker if you cut it frequently.
After relatively long cutting intervals (holiday lawn), first of
all cut in one direction with the highest cutting height and
then cut in the crosswise direction with the required
cutting height.
If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is
damp, the cutting pattern will be uneven.
