6. Operation
The lawn mower can be used with a rechargeable
battery or used in manual mode without a rechar-
geable battery.
Caution!
The lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch
to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before star-
ting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug (Fig.
13) and remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work.
Caution!
To prevent the equipment switching on acciden-
tally, the lawn mower is equipped with a safety
switch (Fig. 1/Item 1a) which must be pressed
before the switching bar (1) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switching
bar is released. Repeat this process several times
so that you are sure that the machine functions
properly. Before you perform any repair or main-
tenance work on the equipment, ensure that the
blade is not rotating and that the safety plug is
disconnected.
Warning! Never open the chute fl ap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the engine 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.
