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.
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.

To use the mower with the grass box [ Fig. O6 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut injury when the blade turns or the mower starts
accidentally.
v Wait for the blade to stop, remove the safety key and use
gloves before you open the protective flap.
v Do not put your hands in the discharge opening.
1. Lift the protective flap
2. Put the grass box into the mower by the handle
Make sure that the grass box is securely connected.
3. Start the mower.

To start the mower [ Fig. O1 /O7 ]:
.
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:
(B)
The product is provided with a two-handed safety device
(start lever and safety interlock) to prevent the product from
being turned on by accident.
There are two start levers
We recommend not to use 2 batteries of different capacity.
1. Open the lid

.
2. Put the batteries
(B)
(19)
3. Put the safety key
4. Push the safety interlock
with the other hand. The mower starts and the battery charge status
indication
(P)
is displayed for 5 seconds.
5. Release the safety interlock
To stop:
1. Release the start lever
The mower stops.
2. Turn the safety key
(19)
battery from discharging.
Tips to use the mower:
If grass residue is left in the discharge opening, pull the mower backwards
about 1 m so that the grass residue can drop out downwards.
To produce a well­maintained lawn, 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
(P)
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.
