8.1. General remarks on the
care of lawns
At the beginning of the
grasscutting season and with
newly laid lawns, we
recommend you select a
relatively high cutting height
(e.g. 1.75 inches) then
gradually decrease the cutting
height over time. To maintain a
well kept lawn you should set the
cutting height to approximately
1 to 1.5 inches.
If possible, mow your lawn once
a week. When you mow your
lawn frequently the short roots of
the grass grow making your
lawn more resistant.
Always mow your lawn when it
is relatively dry. To obtain a
clean cut guide the Cordless
Reel Mower in lanes as straight
as possible at a walking pace.
Ensure that the lanes overlap by
a few centimetres so that no
uncut strips are left behind.
Cut the lawn for the first time in
spring when the grass begins to
grow and the lawn can be
walked on. If the grass has
grown too long first cut it
lengthwise with a high cutting
height setting (approx. 1.75”)
and then cut at right angles with
the desired lower cutting height
setting (e.g. 1 inch).
The area of lawn you can mow
with one charged battery
depends on the height and
thickness of the lawn, i.e. the
taller and thicker the lawn, the
smaller the area of lawn you can
mow with one fully charged
battery.
8.2. Mowing
Tip: Only cut with a sharp
cutting cylinder so that the grass
is not bruised and turn yellow.
For a clean cut guide the
Cordless Reel Mower at an
appropriate speed in lanes as
straight as possible.
Note: The Cordless Reel Mower
can be operated with the battery
or without as a hand mower.
A
Warning: The revolving
cutting cylinder can cause
injuries.
Always maintain the distance
between the cutting cylinder and
user suggested by the guide
handle. When working on
inclines always stand diagonally
to the incline in a sturdy, safe
stance.
To prevent tripping, take par-
ticular care when moving
backwards and when pulling the
Cordless Reel Mower. You may
stumble!
For information on how to set
the cutting height see section
“Setting the cutting height“.
8.3. Mowing with the grass
collection box
A
Only attach the grass
catcher when the motor is
switched off and the cutting tool
has stopped moving.
When using a grass collection
box you can save yourself
having to rake up the grass
afterwards. It can be obtained at
specialized shops. In order to
collect a good amount of grass,
the lawn should be dry and you
should push the mower along at
a brisk pace.
Note: The height of the grass
catcher can be adjusted using
the strap. For the best grass-
catching results, push your
mower at a walking pace.
Blockage protection/Circuit
breaker
If the mower is blocked by a
foreign body or if the motor is
overloaded, the motor is
automatically switched off by the
circuit-breaker. Pull the battery
out of the contact bar. Remove
the foreign body or the cause for
the overload and after a few
seconds restart the mower. If the
motor switches off although there
are no foreign bodies in the
cutting tool it is possible that the
cutting height you have selected
is too low. Select a higher
cutting height, e.g. 1.75” and
then select a lower cutting height
for the second cut.
If the Cordless Reel Mower is
overloaded over a longer period
of time the motor may become
hot. To protect the motor from
overheating the thermal circuit-
breaker switches off the motor.
You can switch on the mower
again after approximately 2 – 5
minutes.
