Run the boundary wire around the working area, but
wait before connecting the wire to the charging
station.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

the boundary wire. This can disrupt

Tip!
Use the supplied measurement gauge as a
guide when you lay out the boundary wire. This helps
you to easily set the correct distance between the
boundary wire and the boundary/obstacle.
If you intend to staple down the boundary wire:
Tip!
• Mow the lawn where the wire is to be laid
using a normal lawn mower or a trimmer. It will
then be easier to lay the wire close to the ground
and the risk of the mower cutting the wire off is
reduced.
• Make sure to lay the boundary wire tight to the
ground and secure the staples close together with
approximately 30" (75 cm) between each staple.
The wire must generally lie close to the ground, so
as not to be cut off before the grass roots have
grown over it.
• Use a hammer to knock down the staples in the
ground. Exercise care when knocking in the
staples and make sure the wire is not under
strain. Avoid forming the wire in sharp bends.
If you intend to bury the boundary wire:
• Make sure to place the boundary wire at least
0.5" (1 cm) and a maximum of 8" (20 cm) into the
ground.
The boundary wire must not be crossed on the path
to and from an island.
