Working with the appliance

Observe the noise protection and local regulations.

Regular mowing encourages increased foliation of the grass and kills off 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 first 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 possible. For gap-free mowing, the tracks should always overlap by a few centimetres.

GB

• Adjust the cut height so the equipment is not overloaded. Otherwise, the motor 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 "Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage".

After switching off the equipment, the blade continues to turn for several seconds. Do not touch the moving blade. There is a risk of injury.

Cleaning/maintenance

Have work that is not described in these instructions carried out by a customer service centre that we have authorised. Use only original parts.

Wear gloves when handling the blade.

Switch off the apparatus, remove the ignition key (A 10) and wait for the blades to come to a standstill.

General cleaning and maintenance work

Do not jet water onto the appliance. This would result in the danger of an electric shock.

- Always keep the equipment clean. To clean, use a brush or cloth but no detergent or solvent.

• After mowing, use a piece of wood or plastic to remove adherent plant remains from the wheels, ventilation holes, ejection hole and blade area. Do not use hard or pointed objects, as these may damage the blade.
• Before each use, check the apparatus for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are sitting firmly.
• Check the covers and protective devices for damage and check that they are sitting correctly. Replace them if necessary.

Changing the blade

If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened by a specialist workshop. If the blade is damaged or showing signs of imbalance, it must be replaced (see chapter on "Spare Parts").

1. Turn the equipment over.
2. Use sturdy gloves and hold the blade (20) firmly. Turn the blade screw (21) anticlockwise off of the motor spindle (22) using a screwdriver (A/F width13).
3. Install the new blade (20) in the reverse order. Ensure that the blade (20) is positioned correctly (see ill.) and the blade screw (21) tightened firmly.

Storage

K Release the tightening lever (2+6) and fold the bow-type handle (18) and the lower handle (3) together so that the device takes up less space. Make sure not to pinch the machine cables while doing this.

• Keep the equipment dry and out of reach of children.
• Allow the motor to cool before storing the equipment in a confined space.
• Remove the battery before storing the unit for longer periods of time (e.g. hibernation).
• Store the battery only in a partially charged state. The state of charge should be 40 – 60 % over a longer storage period (two LED lights of the charge status indicator (19b) light up).
• During a longer storage period, check the state of charge of the battery and recharge if necessary roughly every 3 months.
• Store the equipment between 10°C and 25°C. During storage, avoid extreme cold or heat so the battery does not lose power.

We will not be liable for damages caused by our equipment where these are caused by improper repair or the use of non-original parts or by use other than for the intended purpose.

Waste Disposal/Environmental Protection

Remove the battery from the device and take the device, battery, accessories and packaging for environmentally friendly recycling.

Electric units do not belong with domestic waste.

Do not dispose of batteries in household waste, fire (risk of explosion) or water. Damaged batteries may damage the environment and your health if toxic fumes or liquids leak out.

• Return the unit and the recharger to a recycling centre. The plastic and metal parts employed can be separated out and thus recycled use can be implemented. Ask our Service-Center for details.
• Dispose of batteries in discharged condition. We recommend covering the pole with adhesive tape to prevent a short circuit. Do not open up the battery.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with the local regulations. Take batteries to an old battery collection point where they will be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. For information about this, ask your local waste management company or our service centre.
• Defective units returned to us will be disposed of for free.
• Throw cut grass in the dustbin, but run it to the composting or distribute it as a mulch layer under shrubs and trees.

Guarantee

Dear Customer,

This equipment is provided with a 3-year guarantee from the date of purchase. In case of defects, you have statutory rights against the seller of the product. These statutory rights are not restricted by our guarantee presented below.

Terms of Guarantee

The term of the guarantee begins on the date of purchase. Please retain the original receipt. This document is required as proof of purchase.

If a material or manufacturing defect occurs within three years of the date of purchase of this product, we will repair or replace – at our choice – the product for you free of charge. This guarantee requires the defective equipment and proof of purchase to be presented within the three-year period with a brief written description of what constitutes the defect and when it occurred.

If the defect is covered by our guarantee, you will receive either the repaired product or a new product. No new guarantee period begins on repair or replacement of the product.

Guarantee Period and Statutory Claims for Defects

The guarantee period is not extended by the guarantee service. This also applies for replaced or repaired parts. Any damages and defects already present at the time of purchase must be reported immediately after unpacking. Repairs arising after expiry of the guarantee period are chargeable.

Guarantee Cover

The equipment has been carefully produced in accordance with strict quality guidelines and conscientiously checked prior to delivery.

The guarantee applies for all material and manufacturing defects. This guarantee does not extend to cover product parts that are subject to normal wear and may therefore be considered as wearing parts (e.g. blade, blade screw, battery) or to cover damage to breakable parts (e.g. switches). This guarantee shall be invalid if the product has been damaged, used incorrectly or not maintained. Precise adherence to all of the instructions specified in the operating manual is required for proper use of the product. Intended uses and actions against which the operating manual advises or warns must be categorically avoided. The product is designed only for private and not commercial use. The guarantee will be invalidated in case of misuse or improper handling, use of force, or interventions not undertaken by our authorised service branch.

Processing in Case of Guarantee

To ensure quick handling of you issue, please follow the following directions:

• Please have the receipt and item number (IAN 270611) ready as proof of purchase for all enquiries.
• Please find the item number on the rating plate.
• Should functional errors or other defects occur, please initially contact the service department specified below by telephone or by e-mail. You will then receive further information on the processing of your complaint.

- After consultation with our customer service, a product recorded as defective can be sent postage paid to the service address communicated to you, with the proof of purchase (receipt) and specification of what constitutes the defect and when it occurred. In order to avoid acceptance problems and additional costs, please be sure to use only the address communicated to you. Ensure that the consignment is not sent carriage forward or by bulky goods, express or other special freight. Please send the equipment inc. all accessories supplied at the time of purchase and ensure adequate, safe transport packaging.

Repair Service

For a charge, repairs not covered by the guarantee can be carried out by our service branch, which will be happy to issue a cost estimate for you.

We can handle only equipment that has been sent with adequate packaging and postage.

Attention: Please send your equipment to our service branch in clean condition and with an indication of the defect.

Equipment sent carriage forward or by bulky goods, express or other special freight will not be accepted.

We will dispose of your defective devices free of charge when you send them to us.
