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 ]:
CAUTION!
Overvoltage damages the battery and the battery charger.
v
Make sure that you use the correct mains voltage.
For the GARDENA Battery Mower Art. 502355 there is no battery
and no charger in the scope of delivery.
Before you use the battery the first time, the battery must be completely
charged.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged in any state of charge and the
charging process can be disconnected at any time without to damage
the battery (no memory effect).
1. Open the cover
(4)
.
2. Push the locking buttons
(A)
and remove the battery
(B)
from the battery
holder
(D)
.
3. Connect the battery charger
(C)
into a mains socket.
4. Connect the battery charger cable
(E)
to the battery
(B)
.
When the charging control lamp
(Lc)
at the charger flashes green
the battery is being charged.
When the charging control lamp
(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, disconnect the battery
(B)
from the charger
(C)
.
7. Disconnect the charger
(C)
from the mains.

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. 25° – 70° [ Fig. O4 ]:
In order for the mower to be started, the tube
(1)
must be in the working
position
(W)
(approx. 15° – 65°).
The mower stops automatically when the tube
(1)
is moved out of
the working position
(W)
.
Parking position
(P)
approx. 70° – 105° [ Fig. O4 / O5 ]:
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° – 25° [ Fig. O4 / O6 ]:
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. O7 ]:
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 / O8 ]:
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 twoswitch safety device
(safety key with starting lockout) to prevent the product from
being turned on by accident.

(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)
.
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.
Cutting performance and battery charge:
The lawn area which can be cut on each battery charge depends on
several factors such as moisture, grass density and cutting height.
In order to ensure an optimal use of space, do not turn the mower on
and off too frequently as this severely reduces the battery running time.
The cutting performance for each battery charge can be ideally utilised by
increasing the cutting height and frequent mowing.
