To get a good result
• Do not cut a wet lawn. Wet grass can give a bad
result.
• Start with a high cutting height and decrease it
gradually.
• Cut with blades that rotate at high speed (highest
permitted engine speed, see
24 ). Move the product forward at low speed. If the
grass is not too high and thick, you can get a good
result also at a higher speed.
• To get the best result, cut the grass frequently and
use the mulch function.
