Caution! Never open the chute fl 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 fl ap and grass
basket. Switch off 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
off 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
- 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 mis-
take 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 diffi 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.
Select the cutting height according to the length
of the grass. Make several passes so that no
more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on
the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues
to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has
been switched off . Never attempt to manually
stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the
blade is securely attached, is in good condition
and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen
the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade
strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn
mower and wait for the blade to come to a com-
plete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade
and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are
damaged.
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn
mower, it is time to empty the grass basket. Im-
portant! Before taking off the grass basket, switch
off the motor and wait until the blade has come to
a stop.
To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift
up the chute fl ap and the other to grab onto the
basket handle. Remove the basket. For safety
reasons, the chute fl ap automatically falls down
after removing the grass basket and closes off the
rear chute opening. If any grass remains in the
opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if
you pull the mower back approximately 1m.
