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 ap (16). Push the batte-
ry into the battery mount provided. Make sure that

6. Operation

Caution!
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit
to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before star-
ting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug (Fig.
12/pos. 3) and remove the safety plug again whe-
never 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 but-
ton switches are released. Repeat this process
several times so that you are sure that the ma-
chine 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 ap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the motor is still running. A rotating bla-
de can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute ap 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 mo-
wing 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 rechargea-
ble 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
