3.1 Designated use

This appliance is intended for the mowing of lawns and may only be used on dry grass.

This appliance is intended solely for use in non-commercial applications. Any other use as well as unauthorised conversions or modifications are regarded as contrary to the intended use and will result in voiding of the warranty as well as loss of conformity; the manufacturer will thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by the user or third parties.

The tool is designed neither for commercial use in public parks and sports facilities, nor for use in farming and forestry.

3.3 Residual risks

Even during correct use of the appliance, there is always a certain residual risk that cannot be excluded. Depending on the use, the following potential risks can be derived from the type and construction of the appliance:

■ Throwing out of cuttings, soil and small stones.
■ Inhalation of cuttings particles if no breathing protection is worn.
■ Lacerations from reaching into the rotating cutting blade.

3.4 Safety and protective devices

WARNING! Risk of injury. Defective and disabled safety and protective devices can result in serious injury.

■ Have any defective safety and protective devices repaired.
■ Never disable safety and protective devices.

4.1.3 Handling

■ Only mow during daylight hours or with good artificial lighting.
If possible, avoid using the appliance on wet grass.
■ Always make sure that you have a good standing position on slopes.
■ Only operate the appliance at walking pace.
■ Mow across the slope, never up or down.
■ Be especially careful when changing the direction of travel on a slope.

■ Do not mow on very steep slopes.
■ Be especially careful when reversing or pulling the lawnmower towards you.
- Stop the cutting blade(s) if the lawnmower needs to be tilted for transport over areas other than grass and when the lawnmower is being moved to and from the area to be mowed.
■ Never use the appliance with damaged protective devices or protective grilles or without mounted protective devices, e.g. baffle plates and/or grass catcher. Damaged protective devices and covers must be replaced, missing protective devices and covers must be correctly fitted.
- Start the engine with care and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that your feet are at a sufficient distance from the cutting blade(s).
- When starting the engine, do not tilt the lawnmower unless the lawnmower needs to be raised during the process. In this case, tilt it only as far as is absolutely necessary and only lift up the side facing away from the user.
- Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge channel.
■ Never put your hands or feet on or under rotating parts. Always keep away from the ejection opening.
■ Never lift or carry the appliance with the engine running.
■ Switch off the engine and remove the safety key. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:

■ whenever you leave the lawnmower,
■ before removing blockages or clogging in the discharge channel,
■ before inspecting, cleaning or working on the lawnmower,

4.2 Vibration load

■ Danger due to vibration

The actual magnitude of the vibration emissions during the use of the appliance may deviate from that stated by the manufacturer. Observe the following influencing factors before or during use:

Is the appliance being used as intended?
Is the material being cut or processed in the proper manner?
Is the appliance in a proper condition of use?
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or is the correct cutting tool installed?
Are the handle grips and any optional vibration grips mounted, and are they firmly attached to the appliance?

■ Only operate the tool at the motor speed required for the respective work. Avoid using the maximum speed in order to reduce noise and vibrations.
The noise and vibrations of the tool may increase due to improper use and mainte-

nance. This leads to health damage. In this case, immediately switch off the tool and have it repaired by an authorised service workshop.

The degree of stress due to vibration depends on the work to be performed or on the use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan appropriate work breaks. This considerably reduces stress due to vibration over the entire working time.
- Extensive use of the tool exposes the operator to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, immediately consult a physician. These symptoms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, itching, pain, reduced muscular strength, changes in the colour or condition of the skin. Normally these conditions affect the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Take long breaks during your working day so you can recover from the noise and the vibrations. Plan your work in such a way that the use of appliances that generate strong vibrations is spread over several days.
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or discoloration of the skin on your hands when using the tool, stop work immediately. Take sufficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
- Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibrations. Maintain the tool according to the instructions in the operating instructions.
If the tool is used frequently, contact your dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories (e.g. handles).
- Avoid working with the tool at temperatures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load can be limited in a work plan.

4.3 Noise pollution

A certain level of noise exposure from this appliance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at approved and specified time periods. Observe rest periods as necessary and restrict the duration of the work to a minimum. For your personal protection and protection of persons in the vicinity, appropriate hearing protection must be worn.

4.4 Safety notes for rechargeable battery and charger

■ Remove the batteries from the appliance before charging.

8 WORK INSTRUCTIONS

Observe the safety instructions!

NOTE Comply with the local regulations as to when a lawnmower may be operated.

  • Watch out for objects in the grass and remove them from the working area.
    ■ Only mow when visibility is good.
    ■ Only mow with a sharp cutting blade.
    ■ Only control the appliance by the handlebar.
    ■ Only move the appliance at walking speed.
    ■ Always move the appliance across the slope. Do not mow up or down the slope, or on slopes with a gradient of more than 10^ . Exercise particular care when changing direction.

Cutting performance and operating times of the batteries

The cutting performance or the area that can be mown depends on the properties of the grass. Factors such as the length of the grass, the grass density, the selected cutting height and wet grass affect the cutting performance.
■ Optimum operating time is achieved by frequent mowing and keeping the grass short.
■ Frequently switching the lawnmower on and off during the mowing process reduces the cutting performance as do non-fully charged batteries.
To optimise cutting performance, it is recommended to mow the grass often, to set a high cutting height and to move the appliance at walking speed.

NOTE Additional batteries can be purchased to prolong the operating time.

Tips for mowing

  • Maintain a constant cutting height of 3–5 cm; do not mow the grass to less than half its original height.
  • Do not overload the lawnmower! If the motor speed drops noticeably because of long, thick grass, increase the cutting height and mow in several passes.
    Wind and sun can dry out the lawn after mowing so it is better to mow in the late afternoon.
