WORKING INFORMATION
ADVICE
Observe the local regulations on opera-
ting lawn mowers.
Keep others away from dangerous areas.
Use the mower only if visibility is good
Guide the machine at walking pace.
Mow only with a sharp cutting blade
Do not mow over obstacles (e.g. branches,
roots of trees).
Mow only across slopes. Do not use the mo-
wer up or down slopes and not on slopes with
more than a slant of 20 degrees.
Added care must be taken on slopes when
changing direction
The operating period of the lawn mower bat-
tery depends on the condition of the battery,
the condition of the lawn and the setting of the
cutting height. Frequently switching the mo-
wer on and off reduces the operating time
# Optimum operating time is obtained by fre-
quent mowing of the lawn and maintaining a
short-cut lawn
Mowing tips
Constant cutting height 3–5 cm, do not cut
more than half the height of the lawn
Do not overload the lawn mower! If the motor
speed is greatly reduced due to long, heavy
grass, raise the cutting height and mow se-
veral times
Since wind and sun can dry out the lawn after
mowing, mow the lawn in the late afternoon

STORAGE

Storage
ADVICE
Fold the upper handle bar to save space
during storage
Always store the mower with the battery and
the safety key removed

sible to children and unauthorized persons
Storing the battery and charger
ADVICE
Make sure that the battery is fully char-
ged after a lengthy period of storage (3
