= 2,36 dB Vibration (a

Noise and vibration values were deter- mined according to the standards and stipulations mentioned in the declaration of conformity. The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to compare one power tool to another. The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure as- sessment.

The vibration emission value may di󰀨er during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used. Try to keep the exposure to vibra- tions as low as possible. Examples of measures to reduce vibration exposure are the wearing of gloves when using the tool and limiting the working hours. For this purpose all parts of the operating cycle have to be considered (for example, times when the electric tool is switched o󰀨 and times when it is switched on but running without any load). Safety Information This section covers the basic safety regulations when working with the device. Symbole and Pictorial Diagrams Pictorial Diagrams on the Equipment: Caution!

Indicator charge level The remaining charge of the battery can be viewed on the battery charge level indi- cator (19) during operation. It is located at the upper handle (1), facing the user. The number of illuminated LED lights shows the charge level of the battery. Working with the Lawnmower Regular mowing encourages increased foliation of the grass and kills o󰀨 weeds at the same time. Therefore, not only does each mowing increase the density of the lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient lawn. The rst cut is to be made in around April, at a growth height of 70 – 80 mm. In the main vegetation period, the lawn is to be mowed at least once a week.

• Run the equipment at a walking pace, in tracks that are as even as possi- ble. For gap-free mowing, the tracks should always overlap by a few centi- metres.

• Adjust the cut height so the equipment is not overloaded. Otherwise, the mo- tor may be damaged.

• On slopes, always work across the slope. Take particular care when going backwards and pulling the equipment.

• Clean the equipment after each use, as described in the chapter on “Clean- ing, Maintenance and Storage”. Switch o󰀨 the equipment after work and in order to transport it, disconnect the plug and wait until the blade stops. There is a risk of injury. Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage Have work that is not described in these instructions carried out by a customer service centre that we have authorised. Use only original parts.30

Wear gloves when handling the blade Switch o󰀨 the device, pull the con- tact chip ( 17) and wait for the blades to come to a stop. There is a risk of personal injury.
