pletely free of foreign objects such as
stones etc.
8.1 CUTTING HEIGHT
For best results, cut o the top third of the grass.
See g. (15). To adjust the cutting height see

If the grass is long and needs cutting back signi-

Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven.
This would entail a risk of the cutting devices being
damaged against the surface and the lawn’s top
layer of soil being removed.

given below.
• Cut grass frequently.
