Assembly

• Only carry out tasks that you are confident with.
• If you are unsure, contact a specialist or our custo-
mer service department directly.
Switch the device off, remove the safety key (6)
and wait until the blade comes to a standstill.
• The lawnmower can be operated with either one
or two rechargeable batteries. You can obtain a
second rechargeable battery for a longer usage
period. (See "Spare parts")

into the holes at the end of the bottom bar (4).
2. Insert the screws (14) through the housing (11) from
the inside and fasten the bottom bar (4) using the

Installing the top bar (Fig. 3)
