Thank you for choosing Point

“Welcome to the Point family. We started Point to create sensible, easy to

use products that do a great job, and hope you get many years of trou-

ble-free performance from your new product.”

Robot mowers work by making regular small cuts of the grass to maintain

a set height. To do this they must be able to mow the grass multiple times

per day every day. This will keep the grass level constantly in check. As it is

cutting small amounts regularly the clipping will fall to the ground and are

not collected. Over time these small clippings will compost and add nitro-

gen to the lawn. Eventually this will leave the lawn looking more green and

lush and enhance the general health of the lawn.

Boundary wire

The mower needs a full and complete

perimeter loop in order to operate. The

loop carries a weak electrical signal that

the mower uses to know where it is in

the garden.

Don't cross wires No right angles No acute anglesObtuse angles Curves

There is a handy ruler you can

press out of the carton that will

help you measure 35cm all

around your garden.

There may be parts of your garden which will be challenging or even

impossible for your Robot Mower. Your Robot Mower will not stray beyond

the boundary wire you must lay around your garden.

It will change direction on making contact with things like:

• Posts and poles (e.g. washing lines)

• Fences and walls around trees

But it will need to be kept away from:

• Dug borders

• Trees with exposed roots

• Flower beds

• Ponds and water features

• Excessively uneven terrain.

The cable must be kept taut and never be allowed to loop or cross over

itself. Ideally if ground is particularly uneven the wire can be buried up to

15mm deep and pegged down to secure. This can be achieved easily with a

manual edging tool. If this is not desired or possible then the wire should

be ﬁrmly pegged around the garden with pegs at a minimum of 1m inter-

vals, keeping the cable taut to avoid it being cut by the mower, more so at

corners and over uneven terrain.The cable should be positioned a minimum

of 35cm from the edge of the garden, as the mower will overlap the wire,

although it will not stray past it.

On corners the cable should not be laid at a sharp angle or right angle, but

curved or a series of obtuse angles. The mower can detect a signal from the

wire from as much as 20m away. It should be noted that due to this set up

some areas of the lawn will not get mowed such as outside the perimeter

edges. These can be maintained using a suitable grass trimmer.If the

ground where the wires are to be laid is particularly dry and the soil hard

from lack of rain, it will help to thoroughly water the garden before

attempting to lay your perimeter wire.

Rectifying or avoiding problem areas

Obstacles such as tree roots on lawn

Excessively uneven areas of lawn

11

If a tree root is

protruding into the

perimeter of your

cutting area it would

present a problem for

the mower.

One solution is to take

the perimeter around

the tree root, leaving

this area unmowed.

Alternatively, cut the

tree root back with a

saw and ﬁll any

resulting uneven

surface, then set the

perimeter over it.

A deep enough dip in

the surface of you

lawn will also present

problems, possibly

causing the mower’s

wheels to lose their

grip and skid.

If you don’t want to

avoid mowing this

area, it’s best to ﬁll it

with soil, compact it

down and re-seed it

with grass.

If your mower encounters particularly long grass

it may treat it as an obstacle as it could bump

the mower’s obstacle sensor. The grass needs to

be at a reasonable level before the Robot Mower

can function correctly.

If the area is on the

perimeter line this can

the be pegged out as

normal. If it is within

the mowing area it

should no longer be a

problem.

Installing the charge station

12

Find a location with access to

power, ensuring the mower can

leave the charge station in an

anti-clockwise direction. Don’t peg

the plate down yet.

The boundary wire

goes into the front (1)

of the charge station

and comes out at the

back (2).

Push the boundary

wire into the tube at

the front (1) of the

charge station.

It will emerge at the

rear of the unit (2).

The location of the charge station

should be ﬂat and secure, without

risk of movement, if placed next to a

border edge that is unstable it can

slump and cause the station to be

uneven, this will cause problems for

the mower when returning to charge.

Min 2m Min 30cm

The location must be within 5m of a safe

power source – either a weatherproof

outdoor electrical socket or an indoor

power point in a garage, for example.

Ensure a minimum of 2m straight

perimeter from the front of the

charge station, and 30cm straight

from the rear.

Safe power source

WARNING: Trailing wires are a trip hazard. Take care when choosing your location.

You will need to strip the plastic

sheath from the end of the wire

before connecting.

Twisting the exposed wires after

exposing helps ensure a good

connection.

Push the charge station hood

forward to uncover the wiring

terminals.

The charge stand has a hood at the

back (shown in grey) that hinges

forwards.

The sprung terminal will need lifting

to expose the hole, ensure the wire

is full inserted before releasing the

red terminal clip.

14

When you have completed your

perimeter cable it must return to

the charge station and be fed up

through the unit and plugs in at

the black terminal.

Pay attention to the cable ﬁttings

as there is a keyway orientation

detail to ensure correct connection.

Feed the power lead up through the

other side of the base station

Push the power cable into place

15

Then screw on the outer ring to

secure the cable in place and

prevent water ingress.

Push the cover back to it’s

original position to cover the

wires and connections from water

ingress.

Once the base station has been fully

wired it can be secured in place with

the four screws provided. Use the

allen key provided to screw them in

securely ensuring they are fully

inserted and ﬂush with the station

base. Protruding screws can hinder

the mower from locating correctly.

Making sure the power is switched o

at the socket, screw the two charging

rods into the holes just below the

cover of the base station.Note: This is

where the LED status indicator is

situated.

LED status indicator

Laying the perimeter cable

16

Keep the cable straight for at least

the ﬁrst 2m. This is to allow the

mower to return to the charging

stand with ease.

Place the pegs at intervals of about

1m on straight and even ground,

30cm to 50cm on bends and corners.

Uneven ground and obstacles will

require more pegs.

The perimeter wire must be kept

tight. If it is loose it may well end

up being cut by the mower as it

passes over it.

If the wire passes over a moderate

dip in the lawn, more pegs will be

required to keep the wire ﬁrmly

pegged at ground level, or it risks

being cut.

Getting started:

Set the cutting height

The ﬁrst cut of the season or long thick wet grass will need the highest

setting (5.5cm). Gradually reduce to desired height once all ground has

been covered. This may take a few days or a few weeks. If the perimeter

wire is pegged to the surface of the garden rather than buried, it is a good

idea to let the wire “bed in” to the surface of the lawn, during which time it

is advisable to keep the mower on an elevated blade setting. NOTE during

ﬁrst few days of mowing the grass may look stripy or patchy where the

mower has covered /not covered. This is normal and will become even after

several days once the full lawn area has been mowed.

First time out

The control panel will ask for a pass code. The default PIN is AAAA

Pressing the start button and closing the ﬂap will cause the mower to start

a perimeter circuit after which it will begin randomly mowing the lawn.

First time out

The ﬁrst few mows will appear random and unﬁnished, this is normal. With

the multiple passes the mower makes over time, this will even out, and by

using zoning and spiral spot mowing a desirable eect can be achieved in

less time. These methods are explained on page 21.

New season mowing

Between mowing seasons when the mower is not operating (during winter

months) the grass can become unkempt and thickets emerge. On new

season setup review mowing pass and address any problem areas.
