Enjoy complete freedom to move safely and quickly, wherever you want to go. With up to 30 minutes’ runtime from each 4-hour charge, you can cover up to 100m². The SLM50’s 18V lithium-ion battery features a 4-stage LED display to monitor charge levels.
Manoeuvre with ease as the SLM50 does the hard work. At just 3.5kg fully assembled, you can comfortably push this mini, cordless lawnmower throughout your garden using just one hand. It’s the perfect solution for cutting narrow areas and smaller spaces typically unsuited to larger models. The low-profile reclining handle allows you to reach further underneath garden features without needing to move them.
Safety features include an operational safety key, a safety switch that must be pressed in for the mower to start, and an 'auto-off' safety lock that activates when the handle is raised to a high angle (over 66°).
This lightweight lawnmower uses a counter-balanced, single rotary blade with a 25cm (10") cutting width. Made from carbon steel, the SLM50's sharp and durable blade rotates at a constant speed of 5200rpm (max.).
Features and Benefits:
- Simple storage solution: Disassemble the mower in a few simple steps or store it assembled in the ‘park position’ with the safety lock activated.
- Two cutting heights: Manually adjust the front and rear wheels to switch between 40mm and 50mm cutting heights.
- Mulches grass cuttings: The grass cuttings naturally decompose and self-fertilise the soil, eliminating the need for a grass box.
