The battery pack has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a defective battery
pack.
Installing the battery (Fig. 10)
Note:
The cover flap closes automatically and is held in closed position by magnets (16).
Open and hold the cover flap (16). Push the battery into the battery mount provided. Make sure that the push lock
button latches in place (Item C) as soon as the battery is pushed in completely. To remove the battery pack, proceed
in reverse order.
6. Operation
Caution!
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before starting up the lawn
mover insert the safety plug (Fig. 12/pos. 3) and remove the safety plug again whenever you interrupt or terminate
your work.
Caution!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-o (Fig. 11/Item A)
which must be pressed before the button switches (Fig. 11/Item 1) can be activated. The lawn mower switches itself
o when the button switches are released. Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine
functions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the equipment, ensure that the blade is
not rotating and that the safety plug is disconnected.
Caution! Never open the chute flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the motor is
still running. A rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass basket. Switch o the engine before emptying the grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained between the user and
the mower housing. Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a
solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers.
Always mow along the incline (not up and down). For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow
inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from
turning yellow. Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few
centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
The operating time of the rechargeable batteries and therefore the area in square meters that can be covered with a
single battery charge is largely dependent on the state of the grass (e.g. density, moisture, height, cutting height,
etc.) and the mowing speed (walking speed). To adjust the area coverage to your individual requirements, it is
recommended that you mow the lawn more often, with a higher cutting height and at an appropriate speed.
Frequently turning the equipment on and o while mowing will also reduce the amount of area that you can cover. If
the operating time of the rechargeable batteries (area coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above measures,
you can remedy the problem by using rechargeable batteries with a larger capacity (Ah).
How frequently you should mow your lawn is determined primarily by the speed at which the grass grows. In the
main growing season (May- June) you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a week, otherwise just once a week.
The cutting height should be between 4 – 6cm and the amount of growth before mowing again should be 4 – 5cm. If
the grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer for whatever reason, do not make the mistake of cutting it back to the
normal height in one go. This will harm the lawn. Never cut it back by more than half the height in one go. Keep the
underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more di cult to start the
mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding a
position at an angle upwards.
