Note:
Only ever use batteries with the same level of
charge. Do not combine full and half full batteries.
Always charge both batteries at the same time.
The machine's runtime depends on the battery with
the lower charge. Both batteries have to be fully char-
ged before use. Close the battery compartment lid.

Changing the cutting height (Fig. 1)
Warning! Do not change the cutting height un-
til the motor has stopped and the safety plug has
been removed. Before starting to mow, check that
the cutting tools are not blunt and the fastening
elements are not damaged. Replace blunt and/or
damaged cutting tools so no imbalance is created.
Before checking this, turn the motor off and remove
the safety plug.

wards. Select the required cutting height by moving
the lever (6) right or left, then let the lever (6) click

flicks down. When working without a grass box, the
cut grass is ejected backwards.
Lawn care advice
Some advice so your lawn grows healthily and
evenly:
A lawn consists of different types of grass. If you
•
cut frequently, grass that has strong roots and
forms a firm grass cover will mainly grow. If you
mow infrequently, tall grass and other weeds will
grow (e.g. clover, daisies).
• The normal height of a lawn is around 4 - 5 cm.
You should only cut a third of the overall height,
i.e. 7 - 8 cm to the normal height.
We recommend not cutting the lawn shorter than
•
4 cm because the grass cover can be damaged
when it's dry.
If the grass grows to an excessive height (e.g.
•
after a holiday), cut it down to the normal height
in phases.
• Always let the cutting lanes overlap a little.
