V. OPERATION

5.1- Intended use

• The product is intended for outdoor domestic use in private gardens or lawns.
• The product is intended for mowing lawn or grass within the limits of its characteristics.
• This tool may not be used to do other things outside of the described scope in this manual.
• Do not use the machine for unsuitable purposes (for ex. for cutting wood ...)
• The tool is not intended for professional or industrial use (for ex.: in public parks, sports grounds...).

5.2-Operation:

Before any operation:

-- always visually inspect that the product does not show signs of use or damage
-- check that the screws, bolts and nuts are well tightened.

Replace any used or damaged part, and tighten firmly the screws, bolts and nuts when needed.

Before first use: charge battery for approx 5 hours
- Always move the lawnmower on the work area before starting work.
- Hold the machine firmly with both hands by the handle
- Start engine (see 4.5)
- Guide the mower in the work area. Walk, do not run.
- Always work moving forward, never backwards.
- When working on slopes, mow across the face of the slope, never up and down.
- It is recommended to make several crossings over the same area of work, especially when the grass is long or hard.
- When you have finished your work, switch off the mower and switch off the safety switch.
- Clean and store the lawnmower.
- We recommend you follow the below tips.

5.3- Advice

• Never mow while persons or animals are nearby the working area.
• Remove all foreign objects in the working area (e.g.: stones, branches, pipes...)
• Operate the unit only when it is appropriate to do so. For example, do not work when it is raining, on frozen ground or waterlogged.
• Do NOT use the lawnmower if temperature is below 0^ or above 45^ .
• Walk, never run with the mower.
• During operation, avoid motor overload or blocking. Pay attention to changes in motor sound, when this occurs and motor speed drops, release the switch lever (2) and adjust the cutting height to allow blade rotating more easily and hence alleviate motor, Failure to do so may result in damage to the product or to the battery.
• To turn the mower: press on main handle so as to lower the centre of gravity to the rear wheels, then turn lawnmower.
• If the blades touch foreign objects, stop the machine immediately, switch off the safety switch, and

check the unit with its blades stopped. Continue your work only if the machine was not damaged.

• When working on slopes always stand diagonally to the slope, through a strong and stable position. Always stands across the slope, never up or down directly. Be especially careful when you change direction.

Do not work on very steep slopes.

• When you go to areas without grass (e.g. to change the workplace, over a driveway, ...), make sure the blades are stopped.
• To avoid tripping, use extreme caution when reversing or when pulling the lawnmower towards you.
• Protect the battery from heat (eg. do not leave the battery under direct sunlight ...), fire, water (eg. do not store in damp places, do not leave it outside when raining ...)
• Overload protection: In case of overload or blocking, the fuse will operate and shuts down automatically.

Turn off the motor and switch off the safety switch

Overload may be due to: a cutting height too low (re-adjust if necessary); at a cutting speed too fast (reduce your speed).

The blockage may be due to the presence of debris on the blade (clean blade) or objects in the work area (eg remove the branches or other objects ...)

Be sure to change the fuse with a fuse of the same technical data (fuse: AC 250V, 12A)

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

• If the battery is running out of power, it should be charged accordingly. The battery can only be charged using the correct charger (provided with the lawnmower).

Incorrect use may result in electric shock, overheating or leakage of corrosive liquid from the battery.

5.4- Working speed

The working speed may vary depending on the geography of the working area (e.g. flat ground, hilly...), depending on the grass properties (e.g.: thickness, length, humidity ... and the selected cutting height.

It is important to maintain a working speed that allows full control of the mower at all times.

VI. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Before any intervention on the product, make sure that the mower is switched off and switch off the safety switch.

Any operation, maintenance, adjustment must be carried out with the machine at a standstill.
