OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution!
The lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before
starting up the lawn mower insert the safety plug (Fig.9-4) and remove the safety plug again
when interrupting or terminating your work.
Important!
For safety reasons this mower is fitted with an angle sensor. It will not be possible to start the
cordless lawn mower if the pitch angle is over ~70° ± 10°.
To prevent the equipment switching on accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch
(Fig. 9-3) which must be pressed before the switching bar (Fig. 9-1) can be activated.
Note: It will take a few second for the motor to start once the switching bar has been activated.
To begin mowing your lawn, continue to grip the switching bar (Fig. 9-1) and release the safety
switch (Fig. 9-3). The lawn mower switches itself off when the switching bar is released. After the
motor starts the speed will drop after a few seconds when in idle mode and will rise again when in
working mode. Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine functions
properly. Do not use the switch lever intermittently as this will damage it.
Tilt the mower slightly over backwards when starting the mower in long grass this reduces the load on
the motor during start-up.
Warning! Never open the chute flap or remove the grass box when engine is still running. A
rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always remove the safety plug (Fig. 9-4) first before removing the grass box.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the equipment, ensure that the blade is not
rotating, that the safety plug is disconnected and that the batteries have been removed.
MOWING PROCEDURES
The ideal time to mow your lawn is in the cooler late afternoon. The grass is dry and the sensitive new
cut area is not exposed to direct sun.
Cut your lawn at the same height most of the time. Adjust the cutting height (Fig.2 No.2) based on the
weather. If your lawn is getting a lot of water you can cut a little closer. If the temperature is high and
things are dry, allow the grass to grow a little longer so that the soil retains more moisture and the roots
Tall and thick grass should be cut in multiple passes with the mower set at different heights.
Best results are achieved with regular mowing. Do not let the grass grow too long between mowings
and do not set the cutting height too low as this will scalp the lawn.
Avoid cutting wet grass as this will overload the motor and will block the discharge chute.
Ensure that the blades are sharp. A sharp blade makes a nice clean cut. A dull blade shatters the leaf
and impairs the healthy growth of your lawn.
To improve the appearance of your lawn, alternate your cutting pattern.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive intermittent switch operation during mowing as this will damage the switch.
Allow the motor to run for 5 seconds before cutting grass. Starting the motor in tall grass will overload
it push down on the handle to slightly lift the front of the mower out of the grass when starting the
mower. Periodically clean the underside of the mower chassis with a brush. Built–up grass cuttings
become corrosive when they decompose and will promote rust. Do not use water to clean. Wear gloves.
