and that the safety plug is disconnected.
Caution! Never open the chute fl ap when
the collection bag has been detached (to
be emptied) and the motor is still running. A
rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and catch
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
catch 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
mowing 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
rechargeable 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

EN
twice a week, otherwise just once a week. The
cutting height should be between 1-½" - 2-
and the amount of growth before mowing again
should be 1-½" - 2". If the grass is allowed to grow
somewhat longer for whatever reason, do not
make the mistake 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 1-9/16" (4 cm) 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
complete 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 catch basket.
Important! Before taking off the catch basket,
switch off the motor and wait until the blade has
come to a stop.
To take off the catch 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 catch basket and closes off
the rear chute opening. If any grass remains in
the open-ing, it will be easier to restart the engine
if you pull the mower back approximately 39.3"
(1m).
