Mulching
In the mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in
the enclosed mower housing and then spread back
onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dis-
pose of the grass.
m Note! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is rela-
tively short.
Mowing
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This
will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the
lawn from turning yellow. Try to mow in straight lines
for a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the mowing swaths
should always overlap each other by a few centim-
eters in order to avoid bare strips.

to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite

that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds
to manually stop the blade.
Regularly check to see if the blade is securely at-
tached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the con-
trary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In
the event that the blade strikes an object,immediately
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition
of the blade and the blade mount.
Replace any parts that are damaged.
