c) Prevent accidental starting. Make sure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power source and/or battery pack, lifting or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools with the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or adjusting key left on a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not stretch too much. Always maintain proper posture and balance. This allows better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure that they are connected and used correctly. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent tool use to cause you to become complacent and ignore the principles of tool safety. One careless action can cause serious injury in a split second.

4. Use and maintenance of power tools

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidentally turning on the power tool.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations other than those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do not allow safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5. Use and maintenance of battery-powered tools

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger suitable for one type of battery pack may create a fire hazard if used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery pack may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects, such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can create a connection between one terminal and another. Short-circuiting the battery terminals can cause burns or fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If accidental contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid comes in contact with eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or tool. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour, resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

f) Do not expose a battery pack or the tool to fire or excessive temperatures. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130^ C may cause an explosion.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging incorrectly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery pack and increase the risk of fire.

6. Service

Tips for the correct use of the lawn mower

• Never open the grass outlet cover when the tank is being emptied, and the motor is still running. The blade can cause injury.
• Always make sure that the grass outlet cover is in the correct position and that the grass catcher is correctly positioned. Switch off the motor before removing the grass catcher.
• Keep clear of the blade. Be especially careful when using the mower on embankments or slopes. Be sure to take firm steps, wear shoes with non-skid soles and good grip, and long pants.
• For safety reasons, do not operate the mower on slopes steeper than 15 degrees.
• Be especially careful with the mower when backing up; you could trip.

Using the Mulching System

As the mower passes over the lawn, the grass is shredded and then ejected onto the freshly mowed lawn. In this way, there is no need to use the grass catcher.

Note: This system can only be used when the grass height is not too high.

To use the Mulching system, remove the grass container (4) and slide the corresponding adapter (Fig. 10-11/19) towards the part where the grass comes out. Then close the cover (9).

Mowing the lawn

• You can mow the lawn with the grass catcher (4) in place or using the side outlet system (for the latter, you will need to attach the Mulching system adapter).
• Make sure that the blades are always clean and sharp.
• For optimum performance, try to keep the path of the mower as straight as possible. Make sure that no grass is left uncut.
• Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove accumulated grass. Failure to do so will cause the mower to have trouble starting and discharging grass. In addition, performance will also suffer. If the mower is to be used on slopes, cut the grass perpendicular to the slope. If the mower wheels slip, raise the mower slightly. Adjust the

ENGLISH

cutting height according to the actual length of the lawn. Make several passes and do not reduce the height of the grass by more than 4 cm at one time.

• Turn off the motor before performing any checks on the blade.
• Remember that the blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is turned off. Do not try to stop it.
• Periodically check that the blade is securely fastened, in good condition and sharp. If it is not, sharpen it. If the mower is running and the blade hits an object, turn it off immediately and wait for the blade to stop. Then check the condition of the blade and blade holder. If it is damaged, it must be replaced.

Emptying the grass tank

• The grass catcher (4) has a level indicator. It is opened by the air flow generated by the mower during operation. If the lid closes while the mower is running, the grass container (4) is full and must be emptied. The holes under the lid must always be clean for the level indicator to function properly.
• If you notice that, when mowing, grass remains on the ground, the tank may be full. If this is the case, empty it.
• Warning: Before removing the tank (4), stop the motor and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop.
• To remove the catcher (4), lift the grass outlet cover (9) with one hand and remove the catcher (4) with the other hand (Fig. 9). Note that the weed outlet cover (9) is lowered when the catcher is removed and closes the rear opening.
• If grass remains in the opening, move the mower back about 3 feet to make it easier to restart the mower. Do not remove any grass that may have remained in the machine by hand or foot. Use a suitable tool for this purpose, such as a brush.
• To ensure that the cut grass can be collected properly, clean the tank (4) and the ventilation grill after using the machine.
• Place the grass catcher (4) when the motor and blade are completely stopped.
• To attach it, lift the grass outlet cover (9) with one hand and hold the catcher (4) by the handle with the other hand. Hook it in from above (Fig. 9).

After using the mower

• Check all bolts and nuts before next use. Tighten all loose screws.
• Empty the grass catcher (4) before using the mower again.
• Make sure the mower is not near anything that could pose a hazard.
• Only original parts or parts authorized by the manufacturer may be used for repairs.

Lawn care tips

• A lawn is composed of different types of grass. If it is mowed frequently, mostly grass with strong roots will grow. If it is mowed infrequently, the grass will be too tall and weeds will grow.
• The normal height of a lawn is about 4 - 5 cm.
• Please note that the height of the lawn should not be less than 4 cm.
• If the grass has not been mowed for a long time and is growing too high, do not mow it to the desired height all at once, but do it in phases.
• Make cross passes when using the mower.

B. Functioning for reference EU01\_108036 - Terrenator E1 Liberty

Caution! Safety plug

The mower is equipped with a safety circuit to prevent unauthorized use. Just before turning on the mower, insert the safety plug (Fig. 38/Element 15) and remove it again whenever you interrupt or finish your work.

Important!

To prevent the mower from being switched on accidentally, the mower is equipped with a safety switch (Fig. 39/Element 8) which must be pressed before the switch bar (Fig. 39/

Element 1) can be activated. The mower is switched off when the switch bar is released.

The start time may be several seconds. Repeat this process several times to ensure that the machine operates correctly.

Before performing any repair or maintenance work on the equipment, make sure that the blade is not rotating and that the safety plug is disconnected.

Caution!

• Never open the ejection cover when the grass catcher has been removed (to empty it) and the motor is still running. A rotating blade can cause serious injury!
• Always carefully secure the ejection cover and the grass catcher. Turn off the motor before emptying the grass catcher.
• Always be sure to maintain a safe distance between the user and the mower deck. Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain solid footing and wear sturdy, slip-resistant footwear and long pants.
• Always mow along the slope (not up and down). For safety reasons, the mower should not be used to cut slopes whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
• Use extra caution when backing up and pulling the mower - trip hazard!

Tips for proper cutting

• It is recommended that you overlap the cutting strips.
• Use only a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the grass from turning yellow.

ENGLISH

• Try to cut in straight lines for a clean, neat appearance. The stripes should overlap each other by a few centimetres to avoid streaks.
• The operating time of the rechargeable batteries and thus the area in square meters that can be covered with a single battery charge is highly dependent on the condition of the turf (e.g. density, moisture, height, cutting height, etc.) and the mowing speed (walking speed). To adjust the area coverage to your individual requirements, it is recommended to mow the lawn more frequently, with a higher cutting height and at an appropriate speed. Turning the equipment on and off frequently while mowing will also reduce the amount of area you can cover.
• How often you should mow your lawn is determined primarily by the rate at which the grass grows. In the main growing season, you will probably need to mow twice a week, otherwise only once a week. The mowing height should be between 4 - 6 cm and the amount of growth before mowing again should be 4 - 5 cm. If the grass is allowed to grow a little longer for any reason, do not make the mistake of mowing it back to the normal height all at once. This will damage the grass. Never cut it more than half the height at one time.
• Keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass buildup. Deposits not only make it difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it difficult for the mower to pick up the grass.
• Always mow along the slopes (not up and down). You can prevent the mower from sliding down by maintaining an upward angle position.
• Select the cutting height according to the length of the lawn. Make several passes so that no more than 4 cm of grass is cut at a time. Turn off the motor before making any checks on the blade. Note that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has been turned off. Never attempt to stop the blade manually. Regularly check to see if the blade is securely fastened, in good condition and sharp. If not, sharpen the blade or replace it. In case the blade hits an object, immediately turn off the mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and blade holder. Replace any damaged parts.
• As soon as the grass clippings begin to follow the mower, it is time to empty the grass catcher.

Emptying the grass tank

Important!

Before removing the grass catcher, turn off the motor and wait until the blade stops.

- To remove the grass catcher, use one hand to lift the ejection lid and the other hand to grasp the catcher handle. Remove the catcher. For safety reasons, the ejection cover automatically drops down after the grass catcher is removed and closes the rear ejection opening. If grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the motor if you pull the mower back about 1 m (3 ft).

• Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing but use suitable tools such as a brush or hand broom.
• To ensure that most grass clippings are collected, the inside of the grass catcher should be cleaned after each use.
• Replace the grass catcher only when the motor is off, and the blade has stopped.
• Lift the ejection lid with one hand and holding the herb catcher by its handle with the other hand, hang the catcher from the top.

• Remove the tank.
• To clean the mower after use, you can use a hand brush.
• Carefully remove grass debris from the cutting area. To do this, you can use a brush or a wooden stick.
• Keep ventilation openings free of dust and dirt.

ENGLISH

• Never use water to clean the machine. Clean the motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents. Doing so may damage the plastic parts of the machine. After cleaning the motor housing, wipe it dry with a cloth.
• Check the condition of the blade.

Grass tank maintenance

You can use a hose to clean the grass tank.

Removing/sharpening the blade

If you notice that the cutting performance of the blade decreases, remove the blade and take it to an authorised service centre for sharpening.

Make sure that the blade area is always clean.

Tighten the clamp (Fig. 7).

Spare parts must meet the requirements specified by the manufacturer.

Repairs

Check the machine for damage. Repairs should only be carried out by an authorised service centre.

Storage

• Remove the safety part before storing the mower.
• Store the mower in a dry place with an ambient temperature between 10 and 25 °C (50 and 77 °F).
• Store the battery and mower separately.
• Charge the battery before storing it.
• Keep the lawn mower away from products such as brake fluid, gasoline, penetrating oil, etc. These contain chemicals that can damage or destroy plastic parts.
• Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain substances that can have a very corrosive effect on metal parts. Do not store the mower near these substances.

Transportation

• Before transporting the mower, remove the battery.
• The actuator (2) can be folded by loosening the two nuts.

B. Cleaning and maintenance for reference EU01\_108036 - Terrenator E1 Liberty

Danger!

Remove the safety plug before performing any cleaning work (Fig. 38).

Cleaning

- Keep all safety devices, ventilation grills and motor housing free of dirt and dust as far

as possible. Clean the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

• Do not clean the mower with running water, especially high-pressure water.
• We recommend cleaning the device immediately after each use.
• Clean the unit regularly with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could damage the plastic parts of the device. Make sure that no water can seep into the device.
• For best results, clean the mower with a brush or rag.

Maintenance

• Worn or damaged blades, blade holders and bolts should be replaced as a set by an authorized professional to maintain the balance of the equipment.
• Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts, etc.) are always tightened so that the equipment can be always operated safely.
• Check the grass catcher assembly frequently for signs of wear.
• Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
• To ensure years of enjoyment of the equipment, all bolted parts, as well as wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.
• Keeping your mower in good condition not only ensures long life and high performance but also allows the equipment to cut your lawn thoroughly with minimal effort.
• The blade is subject to more wear than any other component. Therefore, routinely check the condition of the blade and make sure it is securely fastened. If the blade is completely worn out, it should be replaced immediately or resharpened. A mower that vibrates excessively means that the blade is not properly balanced or has been deformed by striking an object. In this case, the blade must be repaired or replaced.
• There are no parts inside the equipment that require additional maintenance.

Blade replacement

Remove the rechargeable battery. For safety reasons, we recommend that the blade be replaced by an authorized professional.

Important!

Wear work gloves!

• The blade should only be replaced with a high-quality original replacement blade, as this will ensure the best performance and safety in all conditions.

• The following describes the process for replacing the blade:

• Unscrew the set screw as shown in figure 40.

• Remove the blade and replace it with a new one.
• When installing the blade, make sure that it is installed in the correct direction. The air fins on the blade should project into the motor compartment (see Fig. 40). The

ENGLISH

dome brackets provided on the equipment should align with the drill holes provided on the blade (see Fig. 40).

1. Then retighten the set screw with a wrench. The tightening torque should be approximately 25 Nm.

- At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the mower and remove any grass and dirt that may have accumulated. At the beginning of each season, be sure to check the condition of the blade. If repairs are needed, contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service. Only original spare parts should be used.

Storage and transportation

Before storing or transporting the mower, remove the rechargeable battery.

Storage

Store the equipment and accessories out of the reach of children in a dark, dry place at a temperature above freezing point.

The ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C. We recommend that you store the machine in its original packaging.

Transportation

• For ease of transport and/or storage, open the wing nuts (Fig. 29 / Item 13) sufficiently to allow the push rods to fold down at this point. Be careful not to damage the push rod cable and tubes.
• Protect the machine from damage and strong vibrations that can occur especially when transported in vehicles.
• Secure the machine against slipping and tipping over.
