– Mow across the face of slopes – never up and
down.
– Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
Use extreme caution when stepping back or
pulling the machine towards you.
Never mow by pulling the mower towards you.
Stop the blades if the machine has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces other than
grass and when transporting the machine to and
from the area to be mowed.
Do not tilt the machine when starting or switching
on the motor, except if the machine has to be tilted
for starting in long grass. In this case, do not tilt it
more than absolutely
necessary and tilt only the part which is away from
the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in
the operating position before returning the machine
to the ground.
Switch on the motor according to the instructions
with feet well away from rotating parts.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
Always stand clear of the discharge zone when
operating the machine.
Never pick up or carry the machine while the
motor is running.
Do not modify this product. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the safety of your product
and may result in increased noise and vibration.
Regularly inspect the supply cable and any
extension cables. Do not connect damaged cables
to the supply or touch a damaged cable before it is
disconnected from the
supply. A damaged cable can lead to contact with
live parts. Beware electric shock hazard.
Remove the isolator key:
– whenever you leave the machine,
– before clearing a blockage,
– before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine,
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for damage and make repairs as
necessary,
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check
immediately).
Maintenance
Always wear gardening gloves when handling or
working near the sharp blades.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
that the machine is in safe working condition.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
Examine the machine and replace worn or
damaged parts for safety.
Ensure replacement cutting means of the right
type are used.
Ensure replacement parts fitted are ELEM
GARDEN TECHNIC approved.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture.
Penetration of water in the battery charger
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery
charger is suitable only for charging ELEM
GARDEN TECHNIC lithium ion batteries with-
in the listed voltage range. Otherwise there is
danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination
can lead
to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable
and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the
battery charger. Never open the battery charger
yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified
technician and only using original spare parts.
Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily
inflammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or
surroundings. The heating of the battery charger
during the charging process can pose a fire hazard.
Use only ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC battery
packs intended specifically for the machine. Use of
any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritations or
burns.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of
explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area
and seek medical help in case of complaints. The
vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range
between 0 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery
using a soft, clean and dry brush.
