under any circumstances but contact your
customer service team.
Charging the battery
Open the battery cover (Figure 1/Item 3) by
pressing the lug on the side of the compartment
and swinging up the cover (Figure 6a)
Pull the battery up and out of the battery
compartment (Figure 6b)
Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Insert the power plug of the charger into a socket
outlet.
Plug the charging plug of the charger into the
socket in the battery (Figure 6c).
The charging time will be approx. 2.5 to 4 hours.
Remove the charging plug from the battery.
Pull the power plug of the charger out of the
socket outlet.
If the rechargeable battery pack fails to charge, check
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet.
If you still fail to charge the battery pack, please return
the complete equipment together with the battery
charger to our customer service center.
Timely recharging of the battery will help it serve you
well for a long time. You must recharge the battery
pack when you notice that the power of the
equipment drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
Filling level indictor of the grass bag (Figure 7)
The grass bag is equipped with a filling level indicator
(Fig. 7/Item A) which is opened by the airflow that the
lawn mower generates during operation. If the flap
closes during mowing, the grass bag is full and must
be emptied. To ensure the proper functioning of the
filling level indicator, the holes under the flap must
always be kept clean and permeable.
7. Using the equipment
Important.
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit
to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before
starting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug
(Figure 8/Item 5) and remove the safety plug
again whenever you interrupt or terminate your
work.
To prevent the equipment switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-off
(Figure 1/Item 2) which must be pressed before the
ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 1) can be activated.
The lawn mower switches itself off when the ON/OFF
switch is released. Repeat this process several times
so that you are sure that the equipment 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.
Important. 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 bag.
Switch off the motor before emptying the grass bag.
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!
