Tips to use the mower:
If grass residue is left in the discharge opening, pull the mower backwards about 1 m so that the grass residue can drop out downwards.
To produce a well-maintained lawn, we recommend to cut the lawn regularly once a week if possible. The lawn becomes denser 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.
