This machine can cause serious injuries. Follow
instructions below to reduce risk of accident and
injury.
IMPORTANT
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
PREPARATION
• Read the instructions carefully and make sure you
understand them fully. Be familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the machine.
• Never allow children, persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge or people unfamiliar with these instructions
use the machine.
• Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
• The operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• Ensure the correct installation of the perimeter boundary
system as instructed.
• Periodically inspect the area where the machine is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, and other
debris which could cause damage to the machine or be
unsafe.
• Periodically visually inspect to see that the blades, blade
bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
preserve balance.
• On multi-spindle machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
• Never leave the machine to operate unattended,
especially while other people such as children and pets
are in the area.
• Never use the machine to level out uneven patches.
• If the blades no longer cut correctly or if the motor is
overloaded, check all the parts of your equipment and
replace the worn parts. If a more extensive repair is
required, contact the customer service centre.
USE
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
• Never pick up or carry the machine while the motor is
running.
• Remove the plug from the mains or remove the disabling
device:
– before clearing any blockages.
– before checking, cleaning or maintaining the machine.
– after striking a foreign object to inspect the machine for
damage.
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, and to
check for damage before restarting.
• Start Robotic Mower according to the instructions. When
the main power switch is in the ON position, make sure
you keep your hands and feet away from the rotating
blades.

GB GB
• Never lift the Robotic Mower or carry it around with the
mains switch is in the ON position.
• Do not let persons use the mower who do not know how
it works or behaves.
• Do not put anything on top of the Robotic Mower or its
docking station.
• Do not use the Robotic Mower with defective blade
discs, body, defective blades, screws, nuts etc.
• Avoid operating the machine in wet grass. Doing so can
cause additional wear and tear, and will increase the
amount of cleaning required.
WORK INTERRUPTIONS
• After the machine has been turned off, the cutting
cylinder will continue to rotate for a few seconds. Keep
hands and feet well away.
• Only remove blockages when the machine is standing
completely still.
• Switch off the power when the machine is transported,
lifted or tilted.
• Never leave the machine unattended. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
CAUTION!
The following below outlines measures to avoid damage and
harm to both the Robotic Mower and people using it.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR MACHINE
• Switch off the power when the machine is to be carried
across uneven surfaces, for example steps.
• Inspect the machine before each use. Never operate
the machine if safety devices (e.g. impact protector,
parts of the cutting facility or bolts) are missing, worn
out or damaged. Check the power cable for damage. To
avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts must be changed as
complete sets.
• Only use spare parts and accessories that have been
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of all
guarantee claims.
• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are firmly tightened
and that the machine is in a safe working condition.
• Never try to repair the machine yourself, unless you have
been trained accordingly. All work that has not been
listed in these instructions must only be carried out by
authorised servicing agencies.
• Treat the machine with the greatest care. Always keep
the tool clean. Follow the maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the machine. Always work within
the specified capacity range. Do not use low-power
machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
machine for purposes for which it is not intended.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
CAUTION!
The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries due
to electric shock:
• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of the
power and length and type of extension cords to be used
(not lighter than required by Clause 25.7) for any signs
of damage or ageing. Damaged mains power cables
increase the risk of electric shock.

10 11
GB GB
• Connect the machine to a power socket with a residual-
current circuit breaker that has a rated current of no more
than 30 mA.
• Always keep the extension cable well away from the
cutting tools. Should the power cable become damaged
during work, instantly disconnect the power cable
from the mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER CABLE
BEFORE IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE
MAINS! Risk of electric shock.
• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is
damaged the appliance should be scrapped.
• Keep extension cable away from blades and other
moving parts. They may damage the cable and result in
contact with live parts.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on
the rating plate.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
machine is in a safe working condition.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Ensure that only the recommended replacement cutting
blades are fitted.
• Ensure that batteries are charged using the charger
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. Incorrect
use may result in electric shock, overheating or leakage
of corrosive liquid from the battery.
• Servicing of the machine should be carried out according
to manufacturer's instructions.
• In the event of leakage of electrolyte, flush with water/
neutralising agent, seek medical help if it comes into
contact with the eyes.
• Store the appliance with battery pack fully charged at
room temperature (around 20 °C).
• Every deep discharge cycle decreases the capacity of
battery pack. To prolong battery life, it is recommended
to charge the battery every 6 months over extended
periods of time without use.
TRANSPORT
The original packaging should be used when transporting
the Robotic Mower over long distances.
To safely move from or within the working areas:
• Press the STOP button to stop the mower.
• Move the main switch button to the OFF position if you
intended to carry the mower.
• Carry the Robotic Mower using the handle below at the
rear. Carry the mower with the blade disc away from the
body.
PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
Not to touch moving hazardous parts before these have
come to a complete stop.
Do not store anything heavy on the top of the Robotic
Mower or docking station both during storage or when in
use.
Never use the device if the main power switch is damaged
or does not work properly. Never modify the main power
switch. Set the main power switch to OFF for storage or
when the device is not in use. Use the original packaging
when transporting the Robotic Mower, especially for long
distances.

12 13
GB GB
If you need to carry the Robotic Mower from or within the
working area, first press the STOP button to stop the device.
Secondly, ensure that the main power switch is switched
OFF before you lift up your Robotic Mower.
Thirdly, close the top cover, and carry the Robotic Mower by
the carrying handle at the rear under the mower, keeping the
blade disc away from your body as shown.
The carry handle includes two safety switches. Lifting
the device by the carry handle will trigger the switches,
deactivating the Robotic Mower.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
In order to prevent lightning damage to the machine, do not
place the docking station under tall trees.
