before you assemble the product.
To assemble the tube [ Fig. A1 / A2 ]:
1. Slide the tube
(1)
into the tube holder
(2)
. The starting lockout
(7)
must
point forward from the handle
(5)
.
Make sure that the tube
(1)
is completely inserted and that the noses
(n)

3. OPERATION
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Wait for the blade to stop, remove the safety key and use
gloves before you adjust or transport the product.
To charge the battery [ Fig. O1 / O2 / O3 ]:
CAUTION!
v
Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must
match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
For the GARDENA Battery Mower Art. 14620-55 there is no battery
and no charger in the scope of delivery.
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the
battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal
charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully
charged when it is stored in the charger.
1. Open the cover
(4)
.
2. Push the locking button
(A)
and remove the battery
(B)
from the battery
holder
(D)
.
3. Connect the battery charger
(C)
into a mains socket.
4. Slide the battery charger
(C)
onto the battery
(B)
.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger flashes green
the battery is being charged.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger illuminates
permanently green the battery is completely charged
(Charging time, see 7. TECHNICAL DATA).
5. Examine the charge status regularly while you charge.
6. When the battery
(B)
is completely charged, you can disconnect the
battery
(B)
from the charger
(C)
.
Meaning of the indication elements:
Indication on the charger [ Fig. O3 ]:
Flashing of the battery
charge Indicator
(Lc)
The charging procedure is indicated by
flashing
of the battery charge
indicator
(Lc)
.
Note:
The charging procedure is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range,
see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.
Continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
Continuous lighting
of the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that
the battery is fully charged
or
that the temperature of the battery is
not within the allowable charging temperature range and can therefore
not be charged.
When the battery is not inserted,
continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the
socket outlet and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Battery charge status indication
(P)
on the product [ Fig. O4 / O8 ]:
After starting the product, the battery charge status indication
(P)
is displayed for 5 seconds.

is illuminated or flashing, see 6. TROUBLESHOOTING.
Work positions:
The product is provided with a safety device to prevent it from
being switched on in the position at working interruption and
transport position.
Working position
(W)
approx. 22° – 70° [ Fig. O5 ]:
In order for the mower to be started, the tube
(1)
must be in the
working position
(W)
(approx. 22° – 70°).
For safety reasons, the mower stops automatically when the tube
(1)
is
moved out of the working position
(W)
.
Parking position
(P)
approx. 70° – 105° [ Fig. O5 / O6 ]:
When the tube
(1)
is completely up, the tube
(1)
is in the parking
position
(P)
. The mower cannot be started in this position.
Transport position
(T)
approx. 0° – 22° [ Fig. O5 / O7 ]:
For transport, the mower can be carried by the tube
(1)
or by the
handle
(5)
.
When the mower is carried, the handle
(1)
is in the transport position
(T)
.
The mower cannot be started in this position.
To adjust the cutting height [ Fig. O8 ]:
The cutting height can be adjusted from 30 – 50 mm in 3 positions.
1. Push the height adjustment
(11)
in the direction of the wheel and set
the height adjustment
(11)
to the desired position.
2. Let the height adjustment
(11)
engage in the desired position.
To start the mower [ Fig. O1 /O9 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Risk of injury if the product does not stop when you
release the start lever.
v
Do not bypass the safety devices or switches. For example
do not attach the start lever to the handle.
To start:
The product is provided with a two-switch safety device (safety
key with starting lockout) to prevent the product from being turned
on by accident.
1. Open the lid
(4)
.
2. Put the battery
(B)
into the battery holder
(D)
until it audibly engages.
3. Put the safety key
(6)
into the handle and turn it to position .
4. Push the starting lockout
(7)
with one hand and pull the start lever
(8)
with the other hand.
The mower starts and the battery charge status indication
(P)
is
displayed for 5 seconds.
5. Release the starting lockout
(7)
.
To stop:
1. Release the start lever
(8)
.
The mower stops.
2. Turn the safety key
(6)
to position and remove it.
Tips to use the mower:
To produce a well-maintained lawn and optimise the cutting performance,
we recommend to cut the lawn regularly once a week if possible. The lawn
becomes denser if you cut it frequently.
After relatively long cutting intervals (holiday lawn), first of all cut in one
direction with the highest cutting height and then cut in the crosswise
direction with the required cutting height.
If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp, the
cutting pattern will be uneven.
Be careful while going backwards.
Do not let the product become wet with rain or other moisture.
DANGER! Risk of explosion!
Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
