Work safety

WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

• Use this product to cut grass lawns only. It is not permitted to use it for other tasks.
• Use personal protective equipment. Refer to Personal protective equipment on page 18.
• Make sure that you know how to stop the motor quickly in an emergency.

• Do not operate the product unless the blade and all covers are attached correctly. An incorrectly attached blade can come loose and cause personal injury.
• Make sure that the blade does not hit objects such as stones and roots. This can do

damage to the blade and bend the motor shaft. A bent axle causes heavy vibration and a very high risk that the blade becomes loose.

• If the blade hits an object or if vibrations occur, stop the product immediately. Stop the motor, pull up the safety key and remove the battery.
  Examine the product for damages. Repair damages or let an authorised service agent do the repair.
• Never attach the motor brake handle permanently to the handle when the motor is started.
• Put the product on a stable, flat surface and start it. Make sure that the blade does not hit the ground or other objects.
  Always stay behind the product when you operate it.
• Let all the wheels stay on the ground and keep 2 hands on the handle when you operate the product. Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating blades.
• Do not tilt the product when the motor is started.
• Be careful when you pull the product rearward.
• Never lift up the product when the motor is started. If you

must lift the product, first stop the motor, pull up the safety key and remove the battery.

• Do not walk rearward when you operate the product.
• Stop the motor when you move across areas without grass, for example paths made of gravel, stone and asphalt.
• Do not run with the product when the motor is started. Always walk when you operate the product.
• Stop the motor before you change the cutting height. Never make adjustments with the motor started.
• Never let the product stay out of view with the motor started. Stop the motor and make sure that the cutting equipment does not rotate.

Safety instructions for operation Personal protective equipment

WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

• Personal protective equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it decreases the degree of injury if an accident does

occur. Let your dealer help you select the right equipment.

• Use heavy-duty slip-resistant boots or shoes. Do not use open shoes or go with bare feet.
• Use heavy, long pants.
• Use protective gloves when necessary, for example when you attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.

Safety devices on the product

To do a check of the cutting cover

The cutting cover decreases vibrations in the product and decreases the risk of injury from the blade.

• Examine the cutting cover to make sure that there are no damages such as cracks.

Safety key

The safety key is below the battery lid. The safety key connects the battery that supplies the motor with power.

To do a check of the safety key

The safety key connects the battery that supplies the motor with power.

• Start and stop the motor. If the safety key operates correctly, the motor can only start when the key is in the safety lock.

Motor brake handle

The motor brake handle stops the motor. When the motor brake handle is released, the motor stops.

To do a check of the motor brake, start the motor and then release the motor brake handle. If the motor does not stop in 3 seconds, let an approved Husqvarna service agent adjust the motor brake.

(Fig. 20)

To examine the start inhibitor

Do a check of the start inhibitor to make sure that it prevents operation of the motor.

1. Push the motor brake handle in the direction of the handlebar. The start inhibitor stops the movement.
2. Push the start inhibitor out. (Fig. 21)
3. Release the start inhibitor and make sure that it goes back to its initial position.

To use the drive on the wheels

• Pull the drive bail in the direction of the handlebar to start the drive. (Fig. 54)

• Push + and - on the control panel to set the drive speed in 4 steps. (Fig. 55)

• Release the drive bail to disengage the drive, for example when you go near an obstacle.

To use the SavE function

The product has a battery saving function (SavE) that gives longer operation time.

1. Push the SavE button (A) to start the function. The SavE symbol (B) on the display comes on.
2. Push the SavE button again to stop the function. The SavE symbol (B) on the display goes out. (Fig. 56)

The SavE function stops automatically if the ground conditions make it necessary to have a higher output. The SavE function starts automatically again when the ground conditions let it.

PowerBoost function

When the product cuts long or wet grass, the motor automatically increases rpm. To save battery time, the motor goes back to standard mode automatically when the PowerBoost function is not necessary.

To stop the product

The product stops automatically if you do not operate it for 3 minutes.

1. Release the motor brake handle to stop the motor. (Fig. 20)
2. Push the ON/OFF button on the control panel. All LED lights and symbols on the display go out. (Fig. 57)
3. Remove the safety key from the safety lock and put it in the safety key holder.

To get a good result

• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an irregular result and the cut surface of the grass becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less energy than a blunt blade.
• Do not cut more than 13 of the length of the grass. Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the result and lower the cutting height to an applicable level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2 times if necessary.
• Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the lawn.

To cut grass without a grass catcher or mulch plug attached

1. Lift up the rear cover and remove the grass catcher.
2. If a mulch plug and a mulch blade are attached, remove them.
3. Close the rear cover before you operate the product.
