MAKITA LAUNCHES ITS FIRST ROBOTIC MOWER
The new RM350D Robotic Mower from Makita can cover lawns up to 3,500m2 and slopes of up to 26 °. It is designed to mow the lawn and once the battery has discharged , will automatically return to its dedicated charging station , then resume once charging is complete – making it a totally autonomous system .
The machine is not reliant on satellites for navigation control : Users set the boundary wires and guides and press go , with no need to download and sync up to an app . The starting and target height of the lawn can be adjusted and the cutting height can be adjusted from 20-60mm in 5mm increments .
The schedule settings feature allows users to programme the product to run on specific days and times of the week and its IPX5 rating means it can be cleaned with a hose – simply remove the top cover to wash the entire machine with water .
