Six cutting heights can be set:
–

40 mm = position 3

50 mm = position 4

The positions are indicated on the lawn mower.
► Hold the lawn mower at handle (1).

► Move the lawn mower to the desired position
by raising and lowering the lever.
The current cutting height can be read off at
cutting height indicator (3) by means of mark‐

The lawn mower engages.
13.3 Activating ECO Mode
When ECO mode is activated, the lawn mower
detects the current working conditions and
adjusts the blade speed automatically.
This may extend the battery life.

13.4 Mowing
► Push the lawn mower forwards slowly and in a
controlled manner.
13.5 Emptying the Grass Catcher
Box

level indicator (1). The flow of air stops when the
grass catcher box is full. If the flow of air is too
low, level indicator (2) returns to its resting state.
This is a prompt to empty the grass catcher box.
The functionality of the level indicator is restric‐
ted if the flow of air is impaired. External influen‐
