Introduction The electric lawnmower is designated for lawn mowing, i.e., maintenance of proper appearance of grass plots. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Voltage AC 230 V Input power 1000 W Tool class II Motor rotation speed 3000 r/min Operating mowing area 320 mm Mowing height 25/40/55 mm Grass reservoir capacity 30 dm

1. Body with a hanger

5. Lower parts of the handle

6. Upper part of the handle

7. Screw for the fastening of handle parts

The lawnmower is assembled from the body (1) made from high-quality polymeric material as its basis; the foundation of the body is an undercarriage with 4 wheels. The motor safeguarded by a cover (2) is arranged in the upper part of the body. A horizontally rotating knife is fas- tened on the motor shaft. A reservoir for grass (4) made of two parts, which is also called a bag, is arranged in the rear part of the lawnmower behind the cover (3). The handle of the lawnmower is composed of 3 parts made from steel tube. Two lower side parts (5) are joined with the upper part (6) with a screw (7) and plastic nut (8). The voltage is connected and the lawnmower is started9

We recommend assembling the lawnmower in the en- closed space on an even surface or on a special work- ing table. You will need a cross-tip screwdriver during the assembly. Start the assembly after the identifi cation of all parts (fi g. 1)

• Upon removal of the lawnmower from the box, put the lower part of the handle (5) in the apertures of the body. Afterwards, lift the cover and fasten the ends of the handle in the body with selftapping screws from the back side.

• Fasten the cable hanger (10) to the upper part of the handle (6).

• Connect the cable to the lawnmower’s handle with two clamps.

• Join the upper part of the handle (6) with lower parts (5) and fasten thereof with a screw (7) and a nut (8), placed into a plastic assembly wrench.

• Screw the wheels (11 and 12) on. All wheels should be fastened on the same height.

• The both parts of the grass reservoir (4) shall be pushed into the apertures until hearing a click.

REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE

• Switch off and remove the plug from mains before replacing the blade.

• Note that the wings of the knife shall be directed up- wards for fastening.

• A fl at or other hexagon spanner of 24 size is used for unscrewing and screwing of the blade.

• Please note that the head of the screw fastening the blade is made from plastic material; accordingly, the force applied onto the screw during the fi xing of the blade shall be 10-16 Nm.

• Replace the cutting knife with the knife of the type specifi ed only.

Operation The essence of operation of the lawnmower is a hori- zontally cutting knife fastened to the vertical shaft of the motor; the knife, which rotates with a speed of approxi- mately 3000 r/min. cuts the grass at the preselected height. Cut grass is thrown into the bag via an aperture in the rear side of the lawnmower under the impact of centrifugal force and the pressure resulting from the ro- tation of the knife. Proper positioning of the knife is of great signifi cance for this process. Switching ON and OFF (fi g.2)

1. push the round button with one hand

2. draw and hold the switch handle with another hand

3. release the round button

4. hold the switch handle during the entire period of

5. releasing the switch handle will switch off the lawn-

mower User tips Please remember the most important rule for lawn care - mow grass instead of plants growing therein. The mowing procedure shall be repeated once in two-to- three days with grass growing again fast. Lawnmower

• Before using, always check if the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Re- place worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

• On multi-bladed appliances, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. Operation

• Mow only in daylight or in good artifi cial light.

• Avoid operating the appliance in wet grass, where feasible.

• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

• For wheeled rotary mowers, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the appliance towards you.

• Stop the blade(s) if the appliance has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the appliance to and form the area to be mowed.

• Never operate the appliance with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example defl ectors and/or grass catchers, in place.

• Switch on the motor according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s).

• Do not tilt the appliance when switching on the mo- tor, except if the appliance has to be tilted for start- ing. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator. Always ensure that both hands are in the operating position before returning the appliance to the ground.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. For rotary mowers, keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

• Never pick up or carry an appliance while the motor is running.

• Pull the plug from the socket:

• whenever you leave the machine;

• before clearing a blockage;

• before checking, cleaning or working on the appli- ance;

• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the appliance for damage and make repairs as necessary;

• if the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the appliance is in safe working condition.

• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear of dete- rioration.

• Replace worn of damaged parts for safety.

• For cylinder mowers, be careful during adjustment of the appliance to prevent entrapment of the fi ngers between moving blades and fi xed parts of the appli- ance.

• For rotary mowers, ensure that only replacement cutting means of the right type are used.10

Lubrication The appliance does not need any extra lubrication.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

Keep the lawnmower in well-ventilated dry premises with temperature not going below +5ºC. We recommend unscrewing of wheels during transpor- tation, which will prevent the lawnmower from moving freely. When transporting the lawnmower on longer distances or when forwarding thereof, dismantling and placing of lawnmower into the manufacturer’s packing (box) is advised.

NB: mowing of humid plants results in a signifi - cant decrease in effi ciency of grass collection in the bag. ATTENTION!

• Do not mow wet grass with the lawnmower!

• Select the desired height of mowing before start- ing up the appliance. All wheels shall be set on the same level. Wheel axles shall be screwed on prop- erly. A loose wheel may fall under a rotating knife.

• Running over the electric cord on the ground with the operating lawnmower is prohibited. To prevent running over the cord, we recommend hanging it on the shoulder of the lawnmower’s operator.

• Push the lawnmower carefully or drag it before your- self whenever operating the appliance.

• Start the motor up after the connection of the exten- sion cord only.

• Overfi lling of glass reservoir is not recommended.

• Do not mow if the grass bag has not been arranged and the rear cover is lifted, which may RESULT IN INJURY! Observe all the above-mentioned requirements care- fully. Start mowing from the place closest to the power source (fi g. 3).

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Unplug the electric cable (power source) prior to any maintenance or prepara- tory storage operations. Cleaning Grass or soil residues shall be removed with a brush and wooden trowel. Clean the housing regularly with a soft cloth, preferably every time it is used. Remove stubborn dirt with a soft rag moistened in soapy water. Do not use any solvents such as petrol, alcohol, am- monia, etc. as such substances can damage the plastic parts. ATTENTION! Washing of the lawnmower un- der a sheet of water is prohibited - the water- tightness of the body secures the IP 34 class only (is not entirely water-tight)! Maintenance Inspect the wear-out of main units periodically. Deterio- ration in mowing quality, detected after a certain period of time, may signify that the blade of the lawnmower has got blunt. The following regulations shall be observed for the sharpening of blade:

• the blade shall be cooled constantly during sharpen- ing to prevent inadmissible overheating

• the blade shall be sharpened evenly on all sides to prevent vibration of the blade during operation

• if you note any cracks or slits, the blade shall be re- placed with a new one (as well as in the case where the area of the blade decreases by over 5 millim- eters during sharpening)11
