WARNING!
!
Damage to the eye is possible. Use proper eye protection
and wear appropriate work gloves when hammering the
pegs. Hard or dry ground may cause pegs to break when
driving them in. In extreme cases, watering the lawn where
the pegs will be driven can be beneficial.

1.4 Corners & Sharp Turns
Care must be taken not to create a turn sharper than 90 degrees when setting up the perimeter wire.
A turn sharper than 90 degrees can cause the Robomower to lose track of the perimeter wire. In
situations where a corner may require a wire placement of less than a 90-degree angle, placement
can be adjusted using several angles to avoid this. See Figure 1.4.
