Setting The Movement Distance To The Mowing Start Point; Selecting The Departure Method From The Charging Station - Makita RM350D Instruction Manual

Movement of the Robotic Mower near the boundary
When the Robotic Mower approaches the boundary wire installed
around the mowing area, it detects the signal from the wire and
prepares to change direction. When boundary overreach is set, the
Robotic Mower mows up to a certain distance outside the wire, and
then returns to within the boundary, automatically turns, and contin-
ues mowing. By setting an appropriate boundary overreach, you can
achieve a good lawn fi nish without leaving grass unmowed near the
boundary.

[Departure position]
Set the movement distance until the Robotic Mower starts mowing
after departing from the charging station. The Robotic Mower initially
moves away from the charging station without mowing, and then
starts mowing after moving for the distance set here.
Why is it necessary to move to the mowing start
point?
When the Robotic Mower departs from the charging station, it does
not start mowing immediately, and instead starts mowing after moving
a certain distance from the station. This is because setting a slightly
distant work start position enables to avoid overlapping or biased
work paths, and to more effi ciently reach diffi cult-to-access areas.

Set how the Robotic Mower is to depart from the charging station and
start mowing. You can register and adjust the execution priority of up
to fi ve diff erent departure methods, including the type of wire signal
to follow and the movement distance to the mower departing points
when departing from the station.
Skillfully combining multiple mower departing points
In addition to starting mowing by departing directly from the charging
station, the Robotic Mower can also move away from the station
along the boundary wire or guide wire for a certain distance and then
start work from that point. By combining multiple departure methods
in accordance with the shape and layout of the work area, you can
avoid overlapping or biased work paths, arrive directly to areas that
are diffi cult to access by normal navigation, and achieve an even lawn
fi nish over the entire area.
