Troubleshooting - Gardena HandyMower 22/18V P4A Instrucciones De Empleo

Cutting performance and battery charge:
The lawn area which can be cut on each battery charge depends on
several factors such as moisture, grass density and cutting height.
In order to ensure an optimal use of space, do not turn the mower on
and off too frequently as this severely reduces the battery running time.
The cutting performance for each battery charge can be ideally utilised
by increasing the cutting height and frequent mowing.
Mulching:
The specially shaped blade ensures optimum cutting and mulching results.
The blades of grass are not simply cut off, but cut into small particles
which fall onto the ground between the blades of grass, thus reducing
the drying out of the lawn. Grass cuttings do not have to be collected
or disposed of and are a natural fertiliser.
The best mulching result is achieved when 1/3 of the grass height is cut
(e. g. from 60 mm to 40 mm).
The maximum area of 50 m² can only be achieved with optimum conditions.
