OVERLOAD AND OVERHEAT
PROTECTION
The product has an overload protection
device. When overloading is detected, the
product automatically limits the current rise
and slow down the cutting speed until the
product stops. If the overload protector is
actuated, restart the product. Press the on-off
button to restart the product.
The battery pack has overheat protection.
Excessive temperatures cause the battery to
stop powering the product. Feel the battery
pack; if it is too warm, allow it to cool down
before resuming operation. If the product still
does not work, recharge the battery.
NOTE:
The battery pack LED indicator stops
working if the battery protection feature has
caused the battery pack to stop powering the
product. Reinstall the battery pack and restart
the product to resume normal function of the
battery pack LED indicator.
GENERAL MOWING TIPS
The run time of the battery depends on the
condition, length, and density of the grass.
Adjust the cutting height of the lawn mower to
suit the current condition of the lawn.
■
For best performance, always cut off one-
third or less of the total height of the grass.
■
When cutting long grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting
and a proper discharge of the clippings.
■
Do not cut wet grass. Wet grass sticks to
the underside of the deck and prevents
proper collection or discharge of grass
clippings.
■
New or thick grass may require a higher
cutting height.
■
To collect the grass cuttings for disposal,
remove the mulching plug, and fit the
grass catcher making sure the rear door is
properly closed. Empty the grass catcher
regularly to prevent the discharged chute
from getting blocked with grass cuttings.
■
To keep grass cuttings on the lawn when
making light cuts, fit the mulching plug and
close the rear door to cover the discharge
opening. It is not necessary to fit the grass
catcher in this case.
■
The product is designed to operate and cut
most effectively when moving forwards.
■
A higher cutting height extends the run
time of the battery.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■
Turn off the product, and remove the
isolator key and the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop. Allow the product to cool
down before storing or transporting.
■
Clean all foreign materials from the product.

ventilated place that is inaccessible to
children. Keep the product away from
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts. Do not store the product
outdoors.
■
For transportation in vehicles, remove
the isolator key, and secure the product
against movement or falling to prevent
injury to persons or damage to the product.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting
the product for maintenance, cleaning,
storage, or transportation. The blade is
sharp. Keep all body parts away from the
blade while it is exposed.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local
and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging
and labelling when transporting batteries by a
third party. Ensure that no batteries can come
in contact with other batteries or conductive
materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-
conductive caps or tape. Do not transport
batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check
with the forwarding company for further
advice.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer’s
replacement parts, accessories and
attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor
performance, and may void your warranty.
