What is EdgeCut and how do I use it?

• A dedicated blade disc for cutting edges is located in the rear of the robotic lawn mower. It has a fixed placement of 45 mm/1.77 inches for optimal cutting results.

• EdgeCut is activated when the mower approaches a physical or virtual boundary. When approaching to the boundary, the mower will do a sweeping turn with the rear, allowing the disc to cut alongside the boundary.
• The mower and blade disc will alternate rotation direction to ensure that the grass is guided into the blade disc in an optimal manner.
• EdgeCut can be set to OFF if not needed.

Optimal edge-cutting patterns

• To achieve optimal edge-cutting results, use a mowing pattern that alternates directions.
• Patterns like checkerboard or triangle are effective because they cover the edges from multiple angles. In contrast, a parallel pattern, where the mower runs only in one direction, can leave edges uncut.

EdgeCut and systematic mowing on slopes

• When mowing in slopes, it’s generally recommended that you mow straight up the slope. Using a checkerboard pattern can cause the mower to cross the slope side to side in the other direction, potentially causing wear on the lawn or causing the mower to slip. Setting the mowing pattern at a 45-degree angle to the slope can help the mower handle the incline better and cut edges in both directions.
• If your EdgeCut mower still struggles, consider changing mowing pattern to mow in only one direction or create a separate work area with an irregular mowing pattern for the slope.
• For more detailed information on systematic mowing patterns, refer to the article: “What is Systematic Mowing”.

If you already have a boundary wire installation in your lawn, it can be difficult to know how precise the installation is.

• If the boundary wire is placed at a closer distance to obstacles than is recommended, the mower will bounce against the obstacle and perform an EdgeCut.
• If the boundary wire is placed at a greater distance to obstacles than is recommended, more grass will remain uncut. The drive past wire function can be used to reduce the gap.

• Spring, when the grass grows faster and is more often wet, as it will have a greater tendency to clog the guard.
• Autumn, when wet leaves can clog the guard.

How to clean the EdgeCut disc guard

Follow these steps to clean the guard:

1. Use protective gloves.
2. Set the robotic lawn mower to OFF.
3. Turn the robotic lawn mower upside down on a clean and soft surface to avoid scratches on the cover.
4. Use a brush to brush away the grass or running water from a water hose.
5. Do not use a pressure washer.
