Its 1,700 W carbon motor provides strong torque for consistent cutting, handling higher vegetation and delivering a clean result. Constructed with shock-resistant plastic housing parts and high-diameter rear wheels with a wide supporting surface, the mower is built for durability and easier handling on uneven terrain. With a 420 mm cutting width and a 50 L grass collector with level indicator, it is intended for lawns up to approximately 700 m². Ergonomic features include an adjustable guide rail and a folding handle with quick-locks for compact storage and easy transport.

Advantages

The GC-EM 1742 offers a robust 1,700 W motor for reliable performance, a six-step central cutting height adjustment from 20 to 65 mm for flexible lawn length settings, and a 420 mm cutting width for efficient mowing. Safety features include a 2-point safety switch to prevent unintended blade starts and an integrated cable strain relief to protect the power cord. The 50 L grass collector with an integrated level indicator reduces interruptions for emptying, while the folding guide rail and top handle simplify transport and storage.

How to use

Before use, check that the cable is undamaged and engaged in the integrated cable strain relief. Set the desired cutting height using the six-step central adjustment (20–65 mm) and install the grass collector. Start the mower with the 2-point safety switch held as required, and proceed to push the mower across the lawn at a steady pace, allowing the 1,700 W motor to cut through higher patches when necessary. Empty the 50 L collector when the level indicator shows fullness and fold the guide rail for transport or storage when finished.

Recommendations

For best results mow regularly and avoid cutting more than one third of the grass blade height at a time. Use the higher cutting positions for very tall grass and the lower settings for regular maintenance. Always disconnect the mower from the power supply before cleaning, blade inspection or any maintenance.
