FAQs

Uneven cutting of grass can usually be caused by the grass collection or the length of the grass. 

If the lawnmower is cutting unevenly, check the following: 

  • Check that there is not a build-up of grass clipping and debris. Ensure the mower is powered off completely and unplugged before removing the clippings. 
  • Check that the grass is not too long for the cutting height. If the grass is quite long, we recommend adjusting the cutting height higher and only cutting a small amount at a time. 
  • Check that there is no damage to the blades. If there is any damage, you may need to sharpen or replace the blade. Refer to your user manual for how to proceed with this. 

If the lawnmower is not cutting at all, check the following: 

  • Check that there is not a build-up of grass clipping and debris. Before removing the clippings, ensure the mower is powered off completely and unplugged. Once any clippings are removed, carefully check to see if there is movement when turning. 
  • Check that the grass is not too long for the cutting height. If the grass is quite long, we recommend adjusting the cutting height higher and only cutting a small amount at a time. Similarly, ensure that the cutting blade height is not too high that it is not touching the grass at all. 
  • Check that there is no damage to the blades. If there is any damage, you may need to sharpen or replace the blade. Refer to your user manual for how to proceed with this.

It is normal for the lawnmower to make a noise whilst cutting due to the motor operation and the turning of the blades. However, if the noise seems abnormal or louder than usual, check the following: 

  • Check that there is not a build-up of grass clipping and debris. Before removing the clippings, ensure the mower is powered off completely and unplugged. 
  • Check that there is no damage to the blades. If there is any damage, you may need to sharpen or replace the blade. Refer to your user manual for how to proceed with this. 
  • Check that the grass collection container is full. If it is full of clippings, then you may hear excess noise from the container. To resolve this, turn off, empty the container, and then turn on to resume operation.

If the lawnmower won’t start, try the following: 

  • Press and hold the safety button before applying the power button/lever (check the user manual for the location of this button). 
  • Check that the lawnmower is plugged in and turned on at the mains. 
  • Try an alternative mains plug socket to rule out any issues with the socket. 
  • Change the fuse in the plug.

If there is a loss of power when mowing, check the following: 

  • Check that there is not a build-up of grass clipping and debris. Before removing the clippings, ensure the mower is powered off completely and unplugged. 
  • Check that the grass is not too long for the cutting height. If the grass is quite long, we recommend adjusting the cutting height higher and only cutting a small amount at a time. 
  • Check that the lawnmower is plugged in and turned on at the mains. 
  • Try an alternative mains plug socket to rule out any issues with the socket. Change the fuse in the plug.
