More Details

How it works
* Automower automatically mows the lawn and continuously combines mowing and charging. Once charged, the mower reverses, turns around and leaves the charging station, normally in a randomly selected direction. It goes about its work - cutting the grass up to and just over the boundary wire, coping with inclines and trimming closely around trees and shrubs. Its irregular cutting pattern across the lawn gives a very even finish - since the grass is cut from many different angles.

* The working area and areas to be avoided are defined by a boundary wire. This is easily laid out around the desired cutting area.

* Automower uses razor blades to cut each blade of grass. The constant cutting fertilises the lawn, helping to make it green and lush.

* Depending on the model, you get one or two guide wires to help the mower find its way through narrow passages and back to the charging station, without leaving track marks in the lawn. The mower can be called back to base with the PARK button (Model 330X).

* With its Spot-cutting function, Husqvarna Automower senses if the grass is higher in a given area and mows until the height is the same as the rest of the lawn.

* Height adjustment lets you set cutting height between 20 and 60 mm manually - or electrically (Models 320 and 330X).

* The weather timer (Models 320/330X) adjusts the mowing to the lawn's growth rate, so that it works less in sunny or dry weather and more in periods of strong grass growth.

Safety
* If Husqvarna Automower is lifted up or tips over, the cutting blades immediately and automatically shut off.

Method Of Use

* Automower cannot be used without a personal PIN code
* Once the system is installed you have to switch on the main switch, press the START button (if available), and close the keypad hatch. To stop it, press the large STOP button
