Cutting performance and operating times of
the batteries
■
The cutting performance or the area that can
be mown depends on the properties of the
grass. Factors such as the length of the
grass, the grass density, the selected cutting
height and wet grass affect the cutting perfor-
mance.
■
Optimum operating time is achieved by fre-
quent mowing and keeping the grass short.
■
Frequently switching the lawnmower on and
off during the mowing process reduces the
cutting performance as do non-fully charged
batteries.
■
To optimise cutting performance, it is recom-
mended to mow the grass often, to set a high
cutting height and to move the appliance at
walking speed.
NOTE Additional batteries can be purchased
to prolong the operating time.
Tips for mowing
■
Maintain a constant cutting height of 3–5 cm;
do not mow the grass to less than half its
original height.
■
Do not overload the lawnmower! If the motor
speed drops noticeably because of long,
thick grass, increase the cutting height and
mow in several passes.
■
Wind and sun can dry out the lawn after
mowing so it is better to mow in the late after-
noon.

tions. Danger of cuts and lacerations when
