Proper usage
Power connection
The lawn mower can be connected to any socket (with
230 V alternating current). However, only use a socket
with an earth connection protected by a cable protection
switch for 16 A and a residual current device (RCD)
circuit-breaker with max. 30 mA.
Mower mains lead
Only use a mower mains lead that is in perfect condition.
The mains lead must not exceed a certain length (max.
50m), since otherwise the power of the electric motor
will fall. The mains lead must have a cross-section of
3 x 1.5mm2.
Mains leads on lawn mowers are particularly susceptible
to insulation damage.
The causes of this include the following:
Cutting the cable by passing over it with the mower.
Damage through crushing if the mains lead is routed
under doors or windows.
Cracks caused by ageing of the insulation sheath.
Kinks caused by incorrect fastening or routing of the
mains lead.
Such damaged mains leads should not be used under any
circumstances as they may cause fatal injuries due to
their damaged insulation sheath. Cables, plugs and
connection sockets must satisfy the conditions listed
below. Mains leads for connecting lawn mowers must
have rubber insulation sheaths.
The mains leads must be at least type H05RNF and have
three wires. The type designation must be printed on the
mains lead. Only buy mains leads that have their type data
printed on them. The plugs and connection sockets on
mains leads must be made of rubber and be splashproof.
Mains leads are subject to length restrictions. Long mains
leads require larger cable cross-sections. Mains leads and
