6.5 Mulching with mulching insert [46.9 Li
SP] (15, 16)
When mulching, the cuttings are not collected but
remain on the lawn. The mulch protects the
ground from drying out and supplies it with nutri-
ents. The best results are achieved through regu-
larly cutting back by approx. 2 cm. Only new
grass with soft leaf tissue rots quickly.
■
Grass height before mulching: max. 8 cm
■
Grass height after mulching: min. 4 cm
NOTE
Adjust the stepping speed of the mulch-
ing, do not go too quickly.
Installing the mulching insert

7 WORK INSTRUCTIONS

Heed the safety instructions (Safety instructions).
NOTE
Comply with the local regulations as to
when a lawnmower can be operated.
■
Watch out for objects in the grass and re-
move them from the working area.
■
Only mow when visibility is good.
■
Only mow with a sharp cutting blade.
■
Only control the appliance by the handlebar.
■
Only move the appliance at walking speed.
■
Always move the appliance across the slope.
Do not mow up or down the slope, or on
slopes with a gradient of more than 10°. Ex-
ercise particular care when changing direc-
tion.
Cutting performance or operating time of the
rechargeable battery
■
The cutting performance or the area that can
be mown depends on the properties of the
grass. Factors such as the length of the
grass, the grass density, the selected cutting
height and wet grass affect the cutting perfor-
mance.
■
Optimum operating time is achieved by fre-
quent mowing and keeping the grass short.
■
Frequently switching the lawnmower on and
off during the mowing process reduces the
cutting performance as does a non-fully
charged rechargeable battery.
