5. Charge the battery if it is weak. For more information, refer to.To charge the battery on.

To get a good result

• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an irregular result and the cut surface of the grass becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less energy than a blunt blade.
• Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass. Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the result and lower the cutting height to an applicable level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2 times if necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the lawn.
• Keep the cutting cover clean. Buildup from grass and dirt on the inner side of the cutting cover can decrease the cutting result. Refer to To clean the product on.

To set the cut mode
The product can be set to a cut mode. You can select between 3 cut modes for the product, refer to Symbols on the product on.

Note: When the product is in operation, it is automatically set to Mulching/High quality mode.
