It offers a 43 cm cutting width and a minimum cutting height of 2 cm, combining compact dimensions with a cutting system suitable for regular lawn maintenance. The unit is powered by an 18V battery (battery and charger sold separately) and is engineered for relatively quiet operation and easy maneuverability around garden obstacles.

Advantages

How to use

Before use, fit a compatible 18V battery and ensure it is fully charged. Adjust the cutting height to the desired setting according to lawn conditions. Start the mower following the manufacturer’s safety instructions, walk at a steady pace while overlapping passes slightly to achieve an even cut, and avoid cutting wet grass to prevent clogging. After mowing, switch off the unit, remove the battery for charging or storage, and clear the cutting area of grass clippings and debris.

Recommendations

For best results, mow regularly and avoid removing more than one-third of the grass blade in a single session. Use the higher cutting heights during hot or dry periods to protect turf health. Charge and store batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s guidelines, and perform routine inspection of blades and airways to maintain cutting performance.
