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.
