5.1 Vertical cutting
Making vertical cuts in the lawn achieves the fol-
lowing benefits:
The air can penetrate down into the soil layer,
making it easier for moisture to evaporate. This
counteracts the growth of moss.
Loose moss can be scarified and gathered in the
collector.
The grass roots are divided, so increasing in
number. This produces a denser lawn with more
blades of grass.
5.2 Before use
When performing vertical cutting, the grass must
be as short as possible, ideally not more than 4 cm
long. Vertical cutting can be carried out with or
without a collector. If the collector is not used, the
waste will be dropped and distributed evenly be-
hind the machine.
