Vibrations (hand arm vibrations)

Hand arm vibration a_h=2,2 m/s^2

Measuring uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s²

The indicated vibration emission level has been measured according to a standardised test method and can be used to compare power tools.

It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration exposure.

The actual vibration emission level during the use of the machine may differ from that indicated in the operating instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.

This may be caused by the following factors to be minded before and during the use:

– Proper use of the machine
– Proper condition of the machine for use
- Is the sharpness of the cutting blade in order or the cutting blade correctly installed?
- Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly mounted on the machine body

When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on your hands during the use of the machine, stop working immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration syndrome.

The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or machine use should be estimated and appropriate breaks taken. In this way, the extent of exposure can be considerably reduced over the entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions in the manual. If you intend to use this machine frequently, contact your local authorised dealer and purchase anti-vibration accessories if required. Avoid the use of this machine at temperatures under 10°C. Create a work schedule in order to minimise vibration exposure.

→ 9 Push the safety button (7) and keep it depressed.
→ 9 Next, pull the switch lever (3) toward the handle hoop.
The lawn mower starts and the blade can turn freely
- Your lawn mower has a soft-start function; after operating the ON-switch, the lawn mower takes approximately 3 seconds to reach maximum speed.
Now release the safety button (7).

i	To protect the battery the unit switches off automatically at a low battery charge.Do not try to restart the lawn mower; this may damage the battery.
i	Charge the lithium-ion batteries (→“Battery” operating instructions).

The cordless lawn mower has an energy-saving function that automatically adjusts the cutting speed to the requirements to achieve the best possible cut while maximising run time and battery life.

Switching off

When you release the switch lever it returns automatically to its original position.

⚠ The cutting blade continues running a little longer after switching off the unit.

Adjusting the cutting height

Before adjusting the cutting height:

• switch off device
• Wait until the cutting blade has come to a stop
• Pull off the safety key and remove the batteries

- 10 Just the cutting height by moving the height adjustment lever (5) to the desired position

→ to increase the cutting height, slide the lever toward the rear wheel
→ to reduce the cutting height, slide the lever toward the front wheel

The cutting height can be adjusted at 7 levels from 2.5 – 7.5 cm.

i Recommended cutting height:

Decorative lawn 2.5 – 4 cm (Position 1-3)

Regular lawn 3 - 5 cm (Position 2-4)

Shade lawn 5 – 6 cm (Position 4-6)

During hot and dry weather the cutting height should be approximately 1 - 2 cm higher.
If the lawn is higher (e.g. after vacation time), cut only one third of the total height at the most. Allow the lawn to rest for a few days and then mow in stages to the normal height again.
➢ Cut the lawn a bit shorter (2.5 – 3 cm) toward winter to prepare the lawn for the winter.

⚠️ Increase the cutting height if the motor is overloaded (motor speed drops and motor noise changes).

Working instructions

Before commencing work, ensure the following:

You may not start to operate the machine until you have read these operating instructions, observed all the instructions given and installed the machine as described!

• Provide for a safe and cleaned workplace. Remove from the working area objects which might be thrown off.
  ■ Before starting your work make sure that:

• the tools and bolts are not worn or damaged. To avoid any unbalance worn or damaged tools and bolts must only be replaced as a whole set.

• the cutting blade is in proper condition (see „Blade replacement“)
  – all screw connections are tight
• no other persons or animals stay within the working area,
• you can always step back without any barriers,
  — you have always a secure standing position.

- When working on slopes, always position yourself perpendicular to the incline and ensure safe footing.

Use the unit only on slopes with a gradient less than 15^ . This corresponds to a slope of roughly one metre over a length of 4 metres.

Always keep your hands and feet at a safe distance to the rotating tool.

Working with the lawn mower

Regular mowing is important for a healthy lawn. The recurring cut causes the grasses to branch out at the base and the surface remains beautifully dense. How often you want to mow depends on the growth rate of the lawn. In the main growth period (May - June) twice a week, otherwise once a week.

Do not mow when the lawn is wet or too hot.

• Make sure that the cutting blade is always sufficiently sharp, otherwise the blades of grass will fray when mowing and the lawn will turn yellow.
• Select the appropriate cutting height (see "Adjusting the cutting height")
  • Take care not to overload the lawn mower.

① In case of excessive strain, the motor speed drops and the motor noise changes.

→ Stop and release the switch lever
→ Wait until the cutting blade stops
→ Set a higher cutting height

• 11 Run the mower over your lawn at an appropriate, even speed in straight lines.
  The lawnmower should always project one wheel width into the cut mowing track. In this way, a seamless and strip-free surface is created.
• If you are working with a collecting bag, empty it in time.

Mulching

During mulching, the discharge channel is closed by the mulching insert. This cuts the grass several times until it falls finely chopped to the ground, where it then decomposes. This provides the lawn with important nutrients that it needs to grow and thrive and also protects it from drying out.

Keep the lawn short, mow regularly so that too much mulch material is not produced at once.

i Do not cut more than 20 mm of grass.
▶ Push the lawn mower slowly when mulching.
➢ Ensure that the cutting tracks overlap.

⚠ In any case, adhere to all safety notes (see "Safe working").

Maintenance and cleaning

Before each maintenance and cleaning work:

• switch off device
• Wait until the cutting blade has come to a stop
• Pull off the safety key and remove the batteries
