OPERATION
Filling level indicator of the grass collector
The grass box is equipped with a filling level indicator. which is
opened by the airflow that the lawn mower generates during
operation. If the flap closes during mowing, the grass collecting
device is full and must be emptied. To ensure the proper
functioning of the fi lling level indicator, the holes under the flap
must always be kept clean and passable.
Safety plug
For safety, the machine equipped the safety plug (12) in the
battery compartment.
Before working, you need to insert this safety plug into the
compartment (See fig.5a).
Before do any adjustment of the cutting height or do any
maintenance, or changing blade, you must pull the safety plug
out of the compartment.
Adjusting the cutting height
Caution!
Adjust the cutting height only when the machine has been
switched off and the safety plug(12) has been pulled out.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the blade is not
blunt and that none of the fasteners are damaged. To prevent
any imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry
out this check, first switch off the motor and pull out the safety
plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as follows:
1. Push the cutting height adjustment lever (6) outwards.
2. Press down or pull upward the lever (6) to the desired cutting
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 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!
Working advice
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.
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

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

height.
3. Press the lever (6) into the corresponding recess and check
that make sure it is securely seated in the recess.
Reading off the cutting height
The cutting height can be set between 25-75 mm in 6 intervals,
and can be read off on the scale.
Installing the battery pack (Fig. 5b)
Open the battery cover as shown in Fig. 5b. Then insert the two
batteries in the mounts as shown in Fig. 5b.
Note!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never
combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment‘s operating time depends on the battery with the
lower charge level. The two batteries must always be fully
charged before use.
Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and make sure
that it latches in place correctly.
Switching on/off the machine (Fig 5c & 5d)
To prevent the equipment switching on accidentally, the lawn
mower is equipped with a safety switch.
To switching on the machine, Keep pressing the button on the
top push handle and meanwhile pull the switch bar as show Fig
5c & 5d. The start time can amount to several seconds.
To stop the machine, just release the switch handle. The
machine will completely stopped in 3 senconds.
Caution!
Never open the chute fl ap when the grass bag has been
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 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 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 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 grass basket. Important!
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.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the
mower housing, but instead use suitable tools such as a brush
or a hand broom.
In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings are
picked up, the inside of the grass basket must be cleaned
after each use.
Reattach the grass basket only when the motor is
switched off and the blade has stopped.
Lift up the chute fl ap with one hand and, holding the grass
basket by its handle with the other hand, hang in the
basket from the top.
MAINTENANCE
Danger!
Pull the safety plug before carrying out any cleaning work.
