Rechargeable battery / battery charger

The technical data for the rechargeable battery and battery charger can be found in the accompanying operating manual.

Information about noise level measured in accordance with applicable standards:

Sound pressure L_pA = 85.0 dB

Measurement uncertainty K_PA = 3 dB

Sound power L_WA = 96.1 dB

Measurement uncertainty K_PA = 1.83 dB

Wear hearing protection.

Excessive noise can result in a loss of hearing.

Vibration A_hv (left/right) = 7.218 m/s ^2

Measurement uncertainty K_PA = 1.5 m/s^2

Keep the noise level and vibration to a minimum!

  • Only use faultless devices.
  • Maintain and clean the device at regular intervals.
  • Adapt your working methods to the device.
  • Do not overload the device.
  • Have the device checked if necessary.
  • Switch the device off if it is not in use.
  • Wear gloves.

When using the petrol lawnmower for extended periods, vibration-induced circulatory problems may occur (white finger disease).

Information about the duration of use cannot be provided in this case, since this can vary from person to person.

Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating devices can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics). If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working immediately and seek medical advice.

The following factors can influence the condition:

  • Circulatory problems in the user's hands
  • Low outside temperatures
  • Extended periods of use

We therefore recommend you wear warm work gloves and take regular breaks.

7. Unpacking

- Open the packaging and carefully remove the device from the packaging.

  • Remove the packaging material, as well as the packaging and transport safety devices (if present).
  • Check whether the scope of delivery is complete.
  • Check the device and accessory parts for transport damage. In the event of complaints the carrier must be informed immediately. Later claims will not be recognised.
  • If possible, keep the packaging until the expiry of the warranty period.
  • Familiarise yourself with the product by means of the operating instructions before using for the first time.
  • With accessories as well as wearing parts and replacement parts use only original parts. Spare parts can be obtained from your specialist dealer.
  • When ordering please provide our article number as well as type and year of manufacture for your equipment.

Before mowing

Important notes:

  • Dress appropriately. Wear sturdy shoes and no sandals or trainers.
  • Check the cutting blade. If a blade is bent or otherwise damaged, it must be replaced with an original blade.
  • Only fill the fuel tank outdoors. Use a filling funnel and a measuring jug. Wipe off any spilled petrol.
  • Read and follow the operating instructions and also the instructions regarding the engine and the accessories. Keep the manual accessible for other users of the device.

  • Exhaust gas is dangerous. Only start the engine outdoors.

  • Make sure that all safety devices are in place and working properly.
  • The device should only be operated by a person who is capable of doing so.
  • Mowing wet grass can be dangerous. Mow grass when it is as dry as possible.
  • Instruct other persons or children to stay away from the mower.
  • Never mow when visibility is poor.
  • Pick up loose objects lying around, such as stones, toys, sticks and wires, etc., from the ground before mowing.

Hints for mowing correctly

△ Attention! Never open the discharge flap when the catcher is being emptied and the engine is still running. The rotating blade can lead to injuries.

Always secure the discharge flap and the catch basket carefully. Switch off the engine before removing.

The safety distance between the blade housing and the user given by the guide rails must always be maintained.

Special care must be taken when mowing and changing direction on embankments and slopes. Make sure you have a secure footing, wear shoes with non-slip, well gripping soles and long trousers. Always mow across slopes.

For safety reasons, slopes with an inclination of more than 15 degrees must not be mowed with the lawn mower.

Exercise particular caution when moving backwards and pulling the lawnmower. Risk of tripping!

Mulching

When mulching, the cuttings are shredded in the closed mower housing and then dispersed on the lawn. Grass collection and disposal is not required.

⚠️ NOTE! Mulching is only possible on relatively short lawns.

To use the mulching function, unhook the catcher bag (19) and push the mulching insert (fig.10-12 /pos. e) into the discharge opening and close the discharge flap (18).

Mowing

Mowing can be done either with the catcher box (19) fitted or alternatively with the side discharge fitted. To use the side discharge, the mulching insert (e) should be fitted.

Cut only with sharp, clean cutting blades so that the blades of grass do not fray and the lawn does not turn yellow.

To achieve a clean cut, guide the lawn-mower in the straightest possible paths.

These strips should always overlap by a few centimetres so that no patches remain.

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove any grass deposits. Deposits make the starting process more difficult, impair cutting quality and grass discharge. On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpendicular to the slope. It is possible to prevent the lawnmower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an angle. Set the cutting height depending on the actual length of the lawn. Carry out several passes so that a maximum of 4 cm of lawn is removed at a time.

Switch off the engine before carrying out any checks on the blade. Remember that the blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is switched off. Never try to stop the blade.

Regularly check that the blade is properly fastened, in good condition and sharpened. Sharpen or replace it if this is not the case. If the moving blade strikes an object, stop the lawnmower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then check the condition of the blade and the blade holder. If it is damaged, it must be replaced.

Locking lever (Fig. 25)

There are two adjustment options for the front wheel, which can be selected via the locking lever (4).

- If the locking lever (4) on the push bar (6) is in the position of the symbol the freewheel of the front wheel (15) is locked. The front wheel only runs straight ahead.

- If the locking lever (4) on the push bar (6) is in the position of the symbol the freewheel of the front wheel (15) is unlocked. The front wheel is movable.

Tips for mowing:

- Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over solid objects. The lawnmower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.

- A hot engine, exhaust pipe or drive unit can burn the skin. Thus, do not touch these parts.

- Use extra caution when mowing on inclines and steep grades.

- Only mow when there is sufficient light.

- Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine vibrates more than usual.

- Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull off the spark plug connector.

- Pay special attention to traffic if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one. Always keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.

- Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other way. Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind you (especially little children).

  • In dense, tall grass, set the highest cutting level and mow more slowly. Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition cable.
  • Never remove any safety-related parts.
  • Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.

Emptying the catch basket

As soon as grass residues are left lying behind on the ground during mowing, the catch basket must be emptied.

⚠ WARNING

Before removing the catch basket, stop the engine and wait for the cutting tool to come to a standstill.

To remove the catch basket (19), lift the discharge flap (18) with one hand and remove the catch basket (19) by the carrying handle with the other hand (Fig. 17). In accordance with the safety regulations, the discharge flap (18) closes when the catch basket is unhooked and closes the rear ejection opening. If grass cuttings remain in the opening, it is advisable to pull the lawnmower back about 1m to make it easier to start the engine.

Do not remove cuttings in the mower housing and on the working tool by hand or with your feet, but with suitable aids, e.g. brush or hand brush.

To ensure good collection, the catch basket (19) and in particular the air grille must be cleaned from the inside after use.

Only hook in the catch basket (19) when the engine is switched off and the cutting tool is stationary.

Lift the discharge flap (18) with one hand and hold the catch basket (19) by the handle with the other hand and hook it in from above. (Fig. 9)

After mowing

  • Always allow the motor to cool off before parking the lawnmower in an enclosed room. Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before storage. Do not store other objects on the mower.
  • Check all screws and nuts before the next use. Tighten all loose screws.
  • Empty the catch basket (19) before the next use.
  • Remove the spark plug connector to prevent unauthorised use.
  • Make sure that the mower is not parked next to a source of danger. Escaping gas can cause explosions.
  • Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on guarantee certificate).
  • In case of longer idle periods of the mower, empty the petrol tank with a petrol extraction pump.
  • Oil and maintain the machine

10. Cleaning

The mower should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. In particular, the underside and the blade retainer.

⚠ Attention!

For safety reasons, disconnect the spark plug cable before cleaning.

It is best to tilt the mower backwards. The spark plug should point upwards to prevent engine oil from entering the intake tract or leaking out.

Alternatively, you can tilt the device on its side, but you must make sure that the air filter is on the upper side.

Note: Before tilting the lawnmower, empty the fuel tank fully with a petrol extraction pump.

Do not tilt the lawnmower beyond 90 degrees.

It is easiest to remove the dirt and grass immediately after mowing.

Grass residues and dirt that have dried on can impair mowing. Check that the grass ejection channel is clear of grass residues and remove these if necessary.

Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pressure cleaner. The motor should remain dry.

Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold cleaners or white spirit.
