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.
