3. Mowing Techniques

• For best results, mow when the grass is dry.
• Overlap cutting swaths slightly to ensure an even cut.
• Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.
• The mower is designed to cover up to 500 m² on a full charge with two 4.0 Ah batteries.

4. Mulching and Collection Modes

Your ETOOLAB mower supports both grass collection and mulching.

• Collection Mode: Ensure the grass collection box is securely attached and the mulching plug is removed.
• Mulching Mode: Remove the grass collection box and insert the mulching plug into the rear discharge opening. This finely chops grass clippings and returns them to the lawn as natural fertilizer.

Maintenance

• Blade Inspection: Regularly check the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or unbalanced blade can affect cutting performance and mower balance. Replace damaged blades immediately.
• Grass Box: Empty and clean the grass collection box regularly to prevent blockages and maintain airflow.
