– Press the button with your thumb (1) and move the handle of the lawnmower into the required position by moving it up
or down (2).

IMPORTANT
Mowing at the lowest cutting height should only be carried out on level and plane lawns!
Please observe that the lower cutting height settings may only be used for optimal conditions. If you select cutting
height that is too low, the turf can be damaged and under certain circumstances it can even be destroyed.
Besides the cutting height, also the moving speed influences the cutting pattern and collection result. Adapt the
cutting height and moving speed to the grass height to be cut.
