Read the operating instructions fully before you start work on the installation of the robot lawn mower. The quality of the installation work aff ects how eff ectively the robot lawn mower works later on.

The robot lawn mower chooses its direction on a random basis. The robot lawn mower works its way over every area which is enclosed within the perimeter wire (18), so that the entire garden gets mowed. Whenever the robot lawn mower detects a correctly installed perimeter wire (18), the robot lawn mower turns about and drives in a diff erent direction within the area. All zones that you wish to protect within the lawn area – e.g. garden ponds, trees, furniture or fl ower beds – must be cordoned off by the perimeter wire (18). The pe- rimeter wire (18) must form a closed circuit. If the robot lawn mower bumps into an obstacle within the mowing area, it reverses and then continues mowing in a diff erent direction (Fig. 3).

The robot lawn mower is equipped with a number of safety sensors.

Lifting sensor: If the robot lawn mower is raised at the back by more than 30° from the ground or if a front wheel (12) loses contact with the ground, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the bla- des (10) will be stopped immediately.

Tilting sensor: If the robot lawn mower tilts severely in any di- rection, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades (10) are stopped immediately.

Obstruction sensor: The robot lawn mower is able to detect obsta- cles in its path. If the robot lawn mower colli- des with an obstacle, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades will be stopped immediately and the mower will reverse away from the obstacle.

Rain sensor: The robot lawn mower is equipped with a rain sensor (5) to prevent the robot lawn mower from operating in the rain. The robot lawn mo- wer returns to the charging station (19) when it detects rain and is completely recharged there. Once the rain sensor (5) is dry again, the robot lawn mower will stay in the charging station (19) for another two hours. Only then will it begin working again, provided it is still in an active time window. If the rain sensor (5) has been activated (this is recommended in order to exert less stress on the lawn), you will see a bright cloud in the display (50). If the sensor triggers, a dark cloud with rain drops will appear. Do not short-circuit the two metal sensors with metal or any other conductive material. This will impede the correct operati- on of the robot lawn mower.

First, draw a sketch of your lawn. Include obstac- les in your sketch and draw up a plan for how you intend to protect them. This will make it easier to fi nd a good position for the charging station (19) and to lay the perimeter wire (18) around bushes, fl ower beds, etc. (Fig. 4). If the grass is taller than 60 mm it has to be shortened fi rst to avoid expo- sing the robot lawn mower to excessive load and adversely aff ecting its operating effi ciency. Use a conventional lawn mower or trimmer to do this. Remove all loose objects from the lawn which could get damaged by the robot lawn mower or damage the robot lawn mower itself. Have the following tools ready: A hammer, tongs, a wire stripper and a spirit level (optional). Fitting the battery A battery (A) from the Power-X-Change series is needed to operate the robot lawn mower. Im- portant: Depending on the model of your robot lawn mower, it might not come complete with the battery (A). Open the battery compartment cover (9). Press the pushlock button of the battery (A) and push the battery (A) into the mount provided. Close the battery compartment cover (9) and make sure that it latches in place correctly (Fig. 10). To remove the battery (A), open the battery cover (9). Press the pushlock button of the battery (A) and pull out the battery (A).

5.4 Charging station

5.4.1 Position of the charging station

Determine the best position for the charging sta- tion fi rst (19). An outdoor socket outlet is required which supplies a permanent supply of electricity so that the robot lawn mower works at all times. The charging station (19) must be placed on a fl at area at the level of the turf. Make sure that the area is fl at and dry. Select a position which is in the shade, because it is best if the rechargeable battery is charged up in a cool area. Also note that the perimeter wire has to be laid in a straight line for least 2 m in front of the charging station (19) (Fig. 5a). Curves immediately in front of the Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 36Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 36 05.10.2022 11:10:3405.10.2022 11:10:34GB

charging station (19) could cause problems when docking for charging.

5.4.2 Localization of the charging station

When the rechargeable battery is almost empty, the robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) by following the perimeter wire (18) in a counterclockwise direction until it reaches the charging station (19). Make sure, therefore, that the charging station (19) faces in the right direc- tion when you position it. (Fig. 5b)

5.4.3 Connecting the charging station to the

1. Before you connect the charging station (19)

to the power supply, check that the mains po- wer supply is 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz.

2. Connect the power supply unit (13) directly to

a socket outlet. Do not use the cable for any other use.

3. Do not use the power supply unit if it is da-

maged (13). In the event of any damage to cables or the power supply unit (13), contact an authorized professional immediately for replacement.

4. Do not charge up the robot lawn mower in a

damp location. Do not charge up the robot lawn mower at temperatures above 40°C or below 5°C.

5. Keep the robot lawn mower and the power

supply unit (13) away from water, sources of heat and chemicals. Keep the cable of the po- wer supply unit (13) away from sharp edges in order to prevent damage.

6. Connect the power supply unit (13) to the

charging station (19). (Fig. 5c) To charge up the rechargeable battery for the robot lawn mower straight away while you are still doing the installation work, fi rst switch on the robot lawn mower with the main switch (7) and place the robot lawn mower in the charging stati- on (19).

5.4.4 Information about charging

The robot lawn mower returns to the charging sta- tion (19) in each of the following situations:

You send the robot lawn mower back manu- ally.

The battery charge level drops below 30%.

The end of the daily work time has been reached.

The rain sensor has tripped.

The robot lawn mower has become overhea- ted.

„Boundary cut“ mode or „Spot mowing“ mode was started outside the set work window and has been completed by the robot lawn mower. In these cases the robot lawn mower automa- tically runs along the perimeter wire (18) until it reaches the charging station (19). When the robot lawn mower wants to return to the charging station (19), it will fi rst look for the peri- meter wire (18) and then move along the perime- ter wire (18) in counter-clockwise direction. The LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) lights up red while charging of the rechargea- ble battery is in progress. When the LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) turns to green, this indicates that the rechargeable battery is fully charged. Once it has been fully charged, the robot lawn mower resu- mes operation or remains in the charging station until the next work time window (19). If there is an obstacle on the perimeter wire (18) during the trip back to the charging station (19), the robot lawn mower will come to a stop in front of the obstacle after several attempts and will not be able to get back to the charging station (19). Remove all obstacles on the perimeter wire (18). If the temperature of the rechargeable battery ex- ceeds 45°C, charging will stop in order to prevent damage to the rechargeable battery. Charging resumes automatically once the temperature has dropped again. If the temperature of the controller of the robot lawn mower exceeds 65°C, the robot lawn mower will return to the charging station (19). Operation resumes in accordance with the settings once the temperature has dropped again. If the rechargeable battery becomes empty befo- re the robot lawn mower has returned to the char- ging station (19), it will not be possible for the ro- bot lawn mower to start up again. Bring the robot lawn mower back to the charging station (19) and leave the main switch (7) switched on. The robot lawn mower will be charged up automatically.

IMPORTANT! Severed perimeter wires and consequential damages are not covered by the warranty!

5.5.1 Laying the perimeter wire

The perimeter wire (18) can be laid both on the ground and in the ground. The fastening pegs (14) can break when hammered in if the ground is hard or dry. Water the lawn before installing the perimeter wire if the ground is very dry. Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 37Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 37 05.10.2022 11:10:3405.10.2022 11:10:34GB

Installation on the ground Lay the perimeter wire (18) securely on the ground and fasten it with the supplied faste- ning pegs (14) if you do not intend to scarify or aerate the lawn any time later. You can still adjust the position of the perimeter wire again during the first few weeks of using the robot lawn mower. After a certain time, however, the perimeter wire will become overgrown with grass and no longer visible. Install the perimeter wire with a maximum distance of 1 m between fastening pegs (14). Reduce the distance between the fastening pegs on uneven areas of the lawn. Avoid situations in which the wire is not actually on the ground. Make sure that the perimeter wire cannot be severed by the robot lawn mower.

Installation in the ground Bury the perimeter wire in the ground at a depth of up to 5 cm. This will prevent the perimeter wire (18) getting damaged during scarifying or aeration, for example. Important! Keep a reserve of 1 m of wire at the rear end of the charging station so that you can make correc- tions at a later time.

If the lawn has a narrow point, your robot lawn mower will be able to operate there as long as the corridor has a width of at least 1.4 m (80 cm bet- ween the perimeter wires) and a maximum length of 8 m. (Fig. 3).

5.5.3 Distance to the garden perimeter

When the robot lawn mower approaches a peri- meter wire (18), the perimeter wire is detected by the sensors in the front of the robot lawn mower. Before the robot lawn mower turns about, howe- ver, it runs over the perimeter wire (18) by up to 30 cm. Please bear this in mind when planning your mowing area. (Fig. 6a)

5.5.4 Laying the wire in corners

Avoid laying the perimeter wire (18) at a right- angle (90°) in corners. To make sure that the robot lawn mower does not run too far beyond the perimeter wire (18), lay the perimeter wire (18) as shown in Fig. 6b.

5.5.5 Calculating the gradient of the lawn

The robot lawn mower can cope with gradients of up to 35%. You therefore need to avoid steeper gradients. The gradient can be determined on the basis of the height divided by the distance. (Fig. 6c) Example: a/b = 35 cm/100 cm = 35%

5.5.6 Installation of the perimeter wire on

gradients The robot lawn mower can slip on gradients, especially if the grass is wet, and run over the perimeter wire (18) as a result. It is therefore recommendable to pay attention to the following points (Fig. 6d):

In the area at the top of a slope, the perimeter wire (18) should not be installed on gradients over 35%. Make sure that a distance of 30 cm from obstacles and the edges of the lawn is maintained.

In the area at the bottom of a slope, the perimeter wire (18) should not be installed on gradients over 17%. Make sure that a dis- tance of 40 cm from obstacles and the edges of the lawn is maintained.

5.5.7 Driveways and paved paths

Cordon off raised pathways, areas surfaced with gravel or containing bark mulch, lower lying beds or other similar areas. Lay the peri- meter wire (18) at a distance of at least 30 cm away. (Fig. 6e and 6g)

Paths which are flush with the turf do not need to be cordoned off, because the robot lawn mower can simply run over them. You can also lay the perimeter wire (18) over paths. (Fig. 6f and 6g)

5.5.8 Perimeter islands

To protect obstacles in the mowing area, create perimeter islands. This will enable collisions with delicate objects, garden ponds, trees, furniture, fl ower beds, etc., to be avoided. (Fig. 6h and 6i)

Roll out the perimeter wire (18) from the edges to the objects you want to protect.

Secure the perimeter wire (18) with fastening pegs (14) in a clockwise direction around the object you want to protect.

Completely enclose the perimeter islands and then run the perimeter wire (18) back to the point at which you left the edge of the lawn.

Perimeter islands need to be at least 0.8 m apart. Alternatively, combine the objects to make them into a joint perimeter island. (Fig. 6h)

The perimeter wires (18) to and from the pe- rimeter island should be laid parallel and very close to one another. - Caution! Perimeter Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 38Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 38 05.10.2022 11:10:3405.10.2022 11:10:34GB

wires (18) must not cross over! - You should therefore fasten both the parallel peri- meter wires (18) to the ground together using the same fastening peg (14). (Fig. 6i)

The robot lawn mower will run over the two parallel perimeter wires (18) in the mowing area, but the robot lawn mower will stop whe- re single perimeter wires (18) are laid.

Obstacles with a height over 10 cm (Fig. 6j) Solid obstacles which are over 10 cm in height, e.g. trees, walls, fences, garden furniture, etc., are detected by the collision sensors. If the robot lawn mower collides with an obstacle, it will stop, switch off the mower unit, reverse and turn so that it can continue mowing in the other direction. Soft, unstable and valuable obstacles need to be protected by a perimeter wire island.

Stones and low obstacles Stones, rocks and low obstacles of less than 10 cm in the mowing area need to be protec- ted, because otherwise the robot lawn mower could run over them. If not, this could result in the robot lawn mower getting damaged or blocked.

Trees (Fig. 6k) The robot lawn mower treats trees as obsta- cles. However, where any tree roots project above the ground to a height of less than 10 cm, the area in which they are located needs to be protected. This will prevent damage to the roots and to the robot lawn mower. Make sure that the minimum distance between the perimeter wire (18) and the obstacle is 30 cm.

5.5.10 Main area and secondary area (Fig. 6l)

A secondary area (B) designates a work area which is not directly connected to the main area (A), e.g. via a stretch of lawn or a path. To create a separate secondary area (B) lay the perimeter wire (18) from the main area (A) to the secondary area (B) and back again. The perimeter wire (18) to and from the secondary area (B) should be laid such that the return run is parallel and very close to the forward run. - Caution! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over each other! - You should therefore fasten the parallel perimeter wires (18) to the ground jointly using the same fastening pegs (14). To be able to mow the secondary area (B) you must carry the robot lawn mower by hand into the secondary area (B). Start the required mowing program and select “Secondary area” in the sub- menu (see „Settings of the robot lawn mower“). When the robot lawn mower is in the secondary area (B) it will not try to follow the perimeter wire (18) towards the charging station (19) if the batte- ry charge level is low.

5.6 Connecting the charging station

Finish laying the complete perimeter wire (18) before you connect it to the charging station. Keep an extra length of 1 m of perimeter wire (18) at each end so that you can make further adjust- ments at a later time. Using a wire stripper, remove a length of 10 to 15 mm of the insulation at the ends of the perimeter wire (18) for connecting to the charging station (19). Pull out the power plug before you connect the perimeter wire (18) to the charging station (19). The perimeter wire (18) laid to the front end of the charging station (19) must be run to the back via the cable holders on the underside of the charging station (19). Connect this perimeter wire (18) to the connection on the left (black). Then pass the rear perimeter wire (18) through the hole (stress-relief) in the connection area and connect it to the connection on the right (red) (Fig. 7a). Important! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over! Then connect the power supply. The LED indica- tor (21) on the charging station (19) should light up green and stay on permanently. If the LED does not light up, check the connections fi rst. If the LED lights up green but not permanently, read the “Indicators on the charging station and trou- bleshooting” table at the end of these operating instructions.

5.7 Switching on and checking the

installation As soon as the LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is ready for the robot lawn mower. Please check fi rst that all the fastening pegs (14) on the perimeter wire (18) have been fully tapped in. Place the ro- bot lawn mower about 3 m to the rear of the char- ging station (19) in front of the perimeter wire (18). The robot lawn mower needs to be facing the perimeter wire (18) at an angle of 90° (Fig. 7b). Switch on the main switch (7) (ON) (Fig. 8). Unlock the robot lawn mower by entering the PIN (see the section “Locking mechanism / PIN”). Press the “MODE“ button (52). Then use the na- Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 39Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 39 05.10.2022 11:10:3505.10.2022 11:10:35GB

vigation buttons (55) to select the point “Back to station” and confi rm with the “OK“ button (56). Press the “START” button (53) and then close the display cover (23). The robot lawn mower will now follow the perimeter wire (18) in a counterclock- wise direction. Observe the robot lawn mower during the complete trip along the perimeter wire (18) until it is back in the charging station (19). If the robot lawn mower has any problems at any points, correct the perimeter wire (18) if neces- sary and repeat the operation. The rechargeable battery of the robot lawn mower will now be fully charged. If any problems occur with docking, you may need to reposition the charging station (19) sideways until docking works without any prob- lems. To stop the robot lawn mower at any time, press the red STOP button (3). When you press the STOP button (3), the robot lawn mower will come to a stop and wait for further instructions.

5.8 Securing the charging station

Once the robot lawn mower is working properly and a suitable position for the charging station (19) has been found, the charging station (19) must be fi xed in place using the fastening screws (15). Use the hexagon key (22) to secure the fas- tening screws (15) fully in the ground. (Fig. 7c)

5.9 Battery charge level indicator

Press the button for the battery charge level indi- cator. The battery charge level indicator indicates the charge state of the battery by means of 3 LEDs (Fig. 13b). All 3 LEDs are lit: The battery is fully charged. 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit: The battery has an adequate remaining charge. 1 LED fl ashes: The battery is empty, recharge the battery. All LEDs blink: The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem- perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me- ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery. Important! When using a multi-Ah pack (e.g. 4-6Ah), always set the higher capacity. Thanks to the gentle charging and discharging of the robot lawn mower there is no need to use the lower capacity in order to extend the working life.

5.10 Charging the rechargeable battery with

the charger In normal operation the battery (A) of the robot lawn mower is charged via the charging station (19). For independent use of the battery (A) from the Power-X-Change series it can also be char- ged in the external Power-X-Charger. Important! – Depending on the model of your robot lawn mo- wer, it might not come complete with the battery charger (Fig. 13a/Item B).

1. Check that your mains voltage is the same as

that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (B) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.

2. Insert the rechargeable battery (A) into the

will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. The rechargeable battery can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

whether there is voltage at the socket outlet

whether there is good contact at the charging contacts If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

and the battery pack to our customer service center. To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased. When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res. To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser- vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 40Anl_FREELEXO_LCD_BT_plus_SPK13.indb 40 05.10.2022 11:10:3505.10.2022 11:10:35GB

notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully di- scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

The robot lawn mower is equipped with a main switch (7). Use the main switch (7) to switch the robot lawn mower on (ON) and off (OFF) (Fig. 8). Once the robot lawn mower has been switched on, it is locked by a PIN.

The robot lawn mower has already been pro- grammed at the factory and default settings have been made for it. However, these can be changed if required. Even though the factory settings will be suitable for most gardens, you should still familiarize yourself with the available options ne- vertheless. Explanation of the control panel with LCD (Fig. 9)

6.3 Cutting height adjustment facility

Important! Adjust the cutting height only when the robot lawn mower has been switched off . Do this by pressing the STOP button (3). The cutting height adjustment facility (4) allows the cutting height of the robot lawn mower to be set to infi ni- tely adjustable settings between 20 and 60 mm, which can be viewed on the scale. If the grass is taller than 60 mm it has to be shor- tened to a maximum of 60 mm fi rst to avoid expo- sing the robot lawn mower to excessive load and adversely aff ecting its operating effi ciency. Use a conventional lawn mower or trimmer to do this. After installation has been completed, the cutting height can be adjusted using the cutting height adjustment facility (4). Always start with a higher cutting height and reduce it in small steps until you reach the desired height.

6.4 Locking mechanism / PIN

The locking mechanism prevents the unautho- rized use of the robot lawn mower without a valid code. You have to enter a personal four-digit secu- rity code for this. Lock release Before you start using the robot lawn mower, you have to enter the correct PIN (standard PIN: “0-0- 0-0”). Enter the PIN with the help of the navigation buttons (55).

6.5 Settings of the robot lawn mower

The main menu on the LCD (50) shows you the current date and time settings of the robot lawn mower, as well as the current charge level. At the same time the status of the rain sensor and of the wire signal and of the selected mowing program will appear in the toolbar. On the control panel you can use either the “SET” button (51) to make settings on the robot lawn mower or the “MODE” button (52) to start the robot lawn mower with various mowing programs. Use the navigation buttons (55) to go to the option where you want to make the settings. Press the “BACK” button (54) in order to exit the respective menu. Making settings with the “SET” button (51) The “SET” button (51) can be used to make the basic settings on your robot lawn mower. Use the navigation buttons (55) to move to where you want to go and then use the “OK” button (56) to confi rm or the “Back” button (54) to discard the settings you have made.

Schedule Use the navigation buttons (55) to move to the day of the week for which you want to make the settings. In normal operating mode, the robot lawn mower will automatically begin to mow your lawn at the set time on the res- pective day. It is recommended to base the mowing time setting on 8 hours per day for 500 m² as a guideline. The selected working time may need to be adapted to take account of the garden’s size and complexity.

Zone Where gardens have lots of angles, the robot lawn mower may have problems reaching every part of the lawn and mowing it comple- tely. In this case you can select several star- ting points on the perimeter wire (18). This will enable the robot lawn mower to get to even those parts of your garden that are difficult to reach. The robot lawn mower will run the se- lected distance along the perimeter wire (18) and then start mowing in this part of the gar- den (Fig. 6m). Use the navigation buttons (55) to go to the point that you wish to change and enter the distance and frequency accordingly. The charging station (19) is automatically defined as starting point 1. The two other st- arting points can be selected as you wish. For this you must measure the distance between the charging station (19) and the starting point in clockwise direction along the perime- ter wire (18). With the frequency setting you decide how often the robot lawn mower starts its work from the charging station (19) or from the respective starting points.

Boundary cut For a tidy lawn edge you can activate the „Edge mowing” setting. You can also set the lawn mowing frequency, i.e. the rhythm in which you want the edge of the lawn to be mowed at the beginning of the work window. In the standard setting the robot lawn mower will begin work on all 7 work days by first mo- wing along the entire perimeter wire.

Error log From here you will be informed about the latest error messages concerning your robot lawn mower.

Rain sensor The rain sensor (5) can be programmed using this setting. The default factory setting for the sensor is “On”. You can activate or deactivate the rain sensor (5) and set its delay time. The delay time defines how long the robot lawn mower continues to remain in the charging station (19) after the rain sensor (5) has dried.

Leaving the station You can set how far and where the robot lawn mower travels when it reverses out of the charging station (19). First the robot lawn mo- wer reverses the set distance before it turns into the area to be mowed or towards its star- ting point. Make sure that the set reversing di- stance does not cause the robot lawn mower to leave the area to be mowed.

Check the freedom of movement of the bla- des (10) and the blade plate (11)

Use cleaning product for metal or very fine abrasive paper to clean the charging contacts on the robot lawn mower (1) and the charging station (19). Clean them in order ensure effici- ent charging.

Worn or damaged blades (10) and their fas- tening screws must always be replaced as a set.

Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.

In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip- ment for many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.

Keeping your robot lawn mower in good condition not only ensures a long lifespan and high performance, but also enables the equipment to thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.

The blades (10) are subject to more wear and tear than any other component. Therefore, routinely check the condition of the blades (10) and make sure that they are tightly fas- tened. An excessively vibrating robot lawn mower can indicate that the blades (10) are damaged or have become deformed from striking an object. If the blades (10) are worn or damaged, they must be replaced immedia- tely.

Check the appearance of the cut lawn at re- gular intervals. The grass will not be cleanly cut if the blades are not sharp. This can result in the surface of the lawn drying out easily and turning brown. It is important therefore to change the blades regularly in order to obtain a clean and straight cut.

Check the bottom of the robot lawn mower for dirt at regular intervals. Clean your robot lawn mower regularly. Remove heavy soiling immediately.

Heavy soiling of the robot lawn mower is possible in the first weeks of using it for the first time after a conventional law mower had previously been used. In these first few weeks you should check the bottom of your robot lawn mower more often.

Shorten the lawn only in small steps in order to prevent heavy soiling.

Only replace the blades with genuine blades, as this will ensure top performance and safety. The robot lawn mower is equipped with three bla- des (10) fi tted to a blade plate (11). These blades (10) have a service life of up to 3 months (if they do not strike any obstacles). Please replace all three blades (10) at the same time to ensure that there is no possibility of any impairment to the effi ciency and balance of your equipment. To change the blades (10), proceed as follows (Fig. 12) - Caution! - Wear work gloves:

1. Use a screwdriver to block the rotation of

the blade plate (11). Do this by inserting the screwdriver through the holes in the blade plate (11) and the protective ridge.

2. Undo the fastening screws

3. Remove the blades (10) and replace them

with new ones. Always replace all three bla- des (10) as a set.

4. Then retighten the fastening screw. Check

that the new blades (10) are able to rotate freely. Perform a general inspection of the robot lawn mower at regular intervals and remove any depo- sits which may have accumulated. At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the blades (10). If repairs are necessary, please contact our customer service center. Use only genuine spare parts.

Please note that our devices are not designed for use in commercial, trade or professional applica- tions. A guarantee contract will not be created if the device has been used by commercial, trade or industrial business or has been exposed to similar stresses during the guarantee period.

3. The following are not covered by our guarantee:

- Damage to the device caused by a failure to follow the assembly instructions or due to incorrect installation, a failure to follow the operating instructions (for example connecting it to an incorrect mains voltage or current type) or a failure to follow the maintenance and safety instructions or by ex- posing the device to abnormal environmental conditions or by lack of care and maintenance. - Damage to the device caused by abuse or incorrect use (for example overloading the device or the use or unapproved tools or accessories), ingress of foreign bodies into the device (such as sand, stones or dust, transport damage), the use of force or damage caused by external forces (for ex- ample by dropping it). - Damage to the device or parts of the device caused by normal or natural wear or tear or by normal use of the device.

4. The guarantee is valid for a period of 24 months starting from the purchase date of the device. Gu-

arantee claims should be submitted before the end of the guarantee period within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. The original guarantee period remains applicable to the device even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fi tted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or parts fi tted. This also applies if an on-site service is used.

If the defect is co- vered by our guarantee, then the item in question will either be repaired immediately and returned to you or we will send you a new replacement. Of course, we are also happy off er a chargeable repair service for any defects which are not covered by the scope of this guarantee or for units which are no longer covered.
