Warning!
- This equipment generates an electromagnetic field during operation. Under certain circumstances, this field may actively or passively impede medical implants.
- To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant before using the equipment.
Starting up
- Read the operating instructions fully before you start work on the installation of the robot lawn mower.
- The quality of the installation work determines how effectively the robot lawn mower works later on.
How it works
- The robot lawn mower chooses its direction on a random basis. The robot lawn mower works its way over every area that is enclosed within the perimeter wire (18) so that the entire garden gets mowed.
- Whenever the robot lawn mower detects a correctly installed perimeter wire (18), the robot lawn mower turns about and drives in a different direction within the area.
- All zones that you wish to protect within the lawn area – e.g. garden ponds, trees, furniture, or flower beds – must be cordoned off by the perimeter wire (18).
- The perimeter wire (18) must form a closed circuit. If the robot lawn mower bumps into an obstacle within the mowing area, it reverses and then continues mowing in a different direction (Fig. 3).
Sensors
- The robot lawn mower is equipped with many safety sensors.
Lifting sensor:
- If the robot lawn mower is raised at the back by more than 30° from the ground or if a front wheel (12) loses contact with the ground, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades (10) will be stopped immediately.
Tilting sensor:
- If the robot lawn mower tilts severely in any direction, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades (10) are stopped immediately.
Obstruction sensor:
- The robot lawn mower can detect obstacles in its path. If the robot lawn mower collides with an obstacle, the robot lawn mower and the rotation of the blades will be stopped immediately and the mower will reverse away from the obstacle.
Rain sensor:
- The robot lawn mower is equipped with a rain sensor (5) to prevent the robot lawn mower from operating in the rain.
- The robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) when it detects rain and is completely recharged there.
- Once the rain sensor (5) is dry again, the robot lawn mower will stay in the charging station (19) for another two hours.
- Only then will it begin working again, provided it is still in an active time window.
- If the rain sensor (5) has been activated (this is recommended to exert less stress on the lawn), you will see a bright cloud in the display (50).
- If the sensor triggers, a dark cloud with raindrops will appear. Do not short-circuit the two metal sensors with metal or any other conductive material.
- This will impede the correct operation of the robot lawn mower.
Preparations
- First, sketch your lawn. Include obstacles in your sketch and draw up a plan for how you intend to protect them.
- This will make it easier to find a good position for the charging station (19) and to lay the perimeter wire (18) around bushes, flower beds, etc. (Fig. 4).
- If the grass is taller than 60 mm it has to be shortened first to avoid exposing the robot lawn mower to excessive load and adversely affecting its operating efficiency.
- Use a conventional lawn mower or trimmer to do this. Remove all loose objects from the lawn that could get damaged by the robot lawn mower or damage the robot lawn mower itself.
- Have the following tools ready: A hammer, tongs, a wire stripper, and a spirit level (optional).
Fitting the battery
- A battery (A) from the Power-X-Change series is needed to operate the robot lawn mower.
- Important: Depending on the model of your robot lawn mower, it might not come complete with the battery (A).
- Open the battery compartment cover (9). Press the pushlock button of the battery (A) and push the battery (A) into the mount provided.
- Close the battery compartment cover (9) and make sure that it latches in place correctly (Fig. 10).
- To remove the battery (A), open the battery cover (9). Press the push lock button of the battery (A) and pull out the battery (A).
Charging station
- Position of the charging station Determine the best position for the charging stations first (19). An outdoor socket outlet is required which supplies a permanent supply of electricity so that the robot lawn mower works at all times.
- The charging station (19) must be placed on a fl at area at the level of the turf. Make sure that the area is fl at and dry. Select a position that is in the shade, because it is best if the rechargeable battery is charged up in a cool area.
- Also, note that the perimeter wire has to be laid in a straight line for at least 2 m in front of the charging station (19) (Fig. 5a).
- Curves immediately in front of the charging station (19) could cause problems when docking for charging.
- Localization of the charging station When the rechargeable battery is almost empty, the robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) by following the perimeter wire (18) in a counterclockwise direction until it reaches the charging station (19).
- Make sure, therefore, that the charging station (19) faces in the right direction when you position it. (Fig. 5b)
Connecting the charging station to the
- Before you connect the charging station (19) to the power supply, check that the main po-wer supply is 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz.
- Connect the power supply unit (13) directly to a socket outlet. Do not use the cable for any other use.
- Do not use the power supply unit if it is damaged (13). In the event of any damage to cables or the power supply unit (13), contact an authorized professional immediately for replacement.
- Do not charge up the robot lawn mower in a damp location. Do not charge up the robot lawn mower at temperatures above 40°C or below 5°C.
- Keep the robot lawn mower and the power supply unit (13) away from water, sources of heat, and chemicals. Keep the cable of the po-wer supply unit (13) away from sharp edges to prevent damage.
- Connect the power supply unit (13) to the charging station (19). (Fig. 5c)
- To charge up the rechargeable battery for the robot lawn mower straight away while you are still doing the installation work, first switch on the robot lawn mower with the main switch (7) and place the robot lawn mower in the charging station (19).
Information about charging
- The robot lawn mower returns to the charging station (19) in each of the following situations.
- You send the robot lawn mower back manually.
- The battery charge level drops below 30%.
- The end of the daily work time has been reached.
- The rain sensor has tripped.
- The robot lawn mower has become overheated.
- Boundary cut“ mode or „Spot mowing“ mode was started outside the set work window and has been completed by the robot lawn mower.
- In these cases, the robot lawn mower automatically runs along the perimeter wire (18) until it reaches the charging station (19).
- When the robot lawn mower wants to return to the charging station (19), it will first look for the perimeter wire (18) and then move along the perimeter wire (18) in a counter-clockwise direction.
- The LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) lights up red while charging of the rechargeable battery is in progress.
- When the LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) turns green, this indicates that the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
- Once it has been fully charged, the robot lawn mower resumes operation or remains in the charging station until the next work time window (19).
- If there is an obstacle on the perimeter wire (18) during the trip back to the charging station (19), the robot lawn mower will come to a stop in front of the obstacle after several attempts and will not be able to get back to the charging station (19).
- Remove all obstacles on the perimeter wire (18). If the temperature of the rechargeable battery exceeds 45°C, charging will stop to prevent damage to the rechargeable battery.
- Charging resumes automatically once the temperature has dropped again.
- If the temperature of the controller of the robot lawn mower exceeds 65°C, the robot lawn mower will return to the charging station (19).
- Operation resumes per the settings once the temperature has dropped again.
- If the rechargeable battery becomes empty before the robot lawn mower has returned to the charging station (19), it will not be possible for the robot lawn mower to start up again.
- Bring the robot lawn mower back to the charging station (19) and leave the main switch (7) switched on. The robot lawn mower will be charged up automatically.
Perimeter wire
- IMPORTANT! Severed perimeter wires and consequential damages are not covered by the warranty!
Laying the perimeter wire
- The perimeter wire (18) can be laid both on the ground and in the ground. The fastening can break when hammered in if the ground is hard or dry.
- Water the lawn before installing the perimeter wire if the ground is very dry.
Installation on the ground
- Lay the perimeter wire (18) securely on the ground and fasten it with the supplied fastenings if you do not intend to scarify or aerate the lawn any time later.
- You can still adjust the position of the perimeter wire again during the first few weeks of using the robot lawn mower. After a certain time, however, the perimeter wire will become overgrown with grass and no longer visible.
- Install the perimeter wire with a maximum distance of 1 m between fastening
- Reduce the distance between the fastening pegs on uneven areas of the lawn. Avoid situations in which the wire is not actually on the ground. Make sure that the perimeter wire cannot be severed by the robot lawn mower.
Installation in the ground
- Bury the perimeter wire in the ground at a depth of up to 5 cm. This will prevent the perimeter wire (18) from getting damaged during scarifying or aeration, for example.
Important!
- Keep a reserve of 1 m of wire at the rear end of the charging station so that you can make corrections at a later time.
Narrow points
- If the lawn has a narrow point, your robot lawn mower will be able to operate there as long as the corridor has a width of at least 1.4 m (80 cm between the perimeter wires) and a maximum length of 8 m. (Fig. 3).
- Distance to the garden perimeter When the robot lawn mower approaches a peri-meter wire (18), the perimeter wire is detected by the sensors in front of the robot lawn mower.
- Before the robot lawn mower turns about, however, it runs over the perimeter wire (18) by up to 30 cm. Please bear this in mind when planning your mowing area. (Fig. 6a)
Laying the wire in corners
- Avoid laying the perimeter wire (18) at a right angle (90°) in corners. To make sure that the robot lawn mower does not run too far beyond the perimeter wire (18), lay the perimeter wire (18) as shown in Fig. 6b.
- Calculating the gradient of the lawn The robot lawn mower can cope with gradients of up to 35%. You therefore need to avoid steeper gradients.
- The gradient can be determined by the basis of the height divided by the distance. (Fig. 6c)
- Example: a/b = 35 cm/100 cm = 35%
Installation of the perimeter wire on gradients
- The robot lawn mower can slip on gradients, especially if the grass is wet, and run over the perimeter wire (18) as a result.
- It is therefore recommendable to pay attention to the following points (Fig. 6d):
- In the area at the top of a slope, the perimeter wire (18) should not be installed on gradients over 35%. Make sure that a distance of 30 cm from obstacles and the edges of the lawn is maintained.
- In the area at the bottom of a slope, the perimeter wire (18) should not be installed on gradients over 17%. Make sure that a distance of 40 cm from obstacles and the edges of the lawn is maintained.
Driveways and paved paths
- Cordon off raised pathways, areas surfaced with gravel or containing bark mulch, lower-lying beds, or other similar areas. Lay the perimeter wire (18) at a distance of at least 30 cm away. (Fig. 6e and 6g) Paths that are flush with the turf do not need to be cordoned off, because the robot lawn mower can simply run over them. You can also lay the perimeter wire (18) over paths. (Fig. 6f and 6g)
Perimeter islands
- To protect obstacles in the mowing area, create perimeter islands. This will enable collisions with delicate objects, garden ponds, trees, furniture, fl ower beds, etc., to be avoided. (Fig. 6h and 6i)
- Roll out the perimeter wire (18) from the edges to the objects you want to protect.
- Secure the perimeter wire (18) with fastening pegs (14) in a clockwise direction around the object you want to protect.
- Completely enclose the perimeter islands and then run the perimeter wire (18) back to the point at which you left the edge of the lawn.
- Perimeter islands need to be at least 0.8 m apart. Alternatively, combine the objects to make them into a joint perimeter island. (Fig. 6h)
- The perimeter wires (18) to and from the perimeter island should be laid parallel and very close to one another.
- Caution! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over! – You should therefore fasten both the parallel peri-meter wires (18) to the ground together using the same fastening (Fig. 6i)
- The robot lawn mower will run over the two parallel perimeter wires (18) in the mowing area, but the robot lawn mower will stop when single perimeter wires (18) are laid.
Obstacles
- Obstacles with a height over 10 cm (Fig. 6j)
- Solid obstacles that are over 10 cm in height, e.g. trees, walls, fences, garden furniture, etc., are detected by the collision sensors.
- If the robot lawn mower collides with an obstacle, it will stop, switch off the mower unit, reverse, and turn so that it can continue mowing in the other direction. Soft, unstable, and valuable obstacles need to be protected by a perimeter wire island.
Stones and low obstacles
- Stones, rocks, and low obstacles of less than 10 cm in the mowing area need to be protected because otherwise, the robot lawn mower could run over them.
- If not, this could result in the robot lawn mower getting damaged or blocked.
Trees (Fig. 6k)
- The robot lawn mower treats trees as obstacles. However, where any tree roots project above the ground to a height of less than 10 cm, the area in which they are located needs to be protected.
- This will prevent damage to the roots and the robot lawn mower. Make sure that the minimum distance between the perimeter wire (18) and the obstacle is 30 cm.
Main area and secondary area (Fig. 6l)
- A secondary area (B) designates a work area that is not directly connected to the main area (A), e.g. via a stretch of lawn or a path.
- To create a separate secondary area (B) lay the perimeter wire (18) from the main area (A) to the secondary area (B) and back again.
- The perimeter wire (18) to and from the secondary area (B) should be laid such that the return run is parallel and very close to the forward run.
- Caution! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over each other!
- You should therefore fasten the parallel perimeter wires (18) to the ground jointly using the same fastening.
- To be able to mow the secondary area (B) you must carry the robot lawn mower by hand into the secondary area (B). Start the required mowing program and select “Secondary area” in the sub-menu (see „Settings of the robot lawn mower“).
- When the robot lawn mower is in the secondary area (B) it will not try to follow the perimeter wire (18) towards the charging station (19) if the battery charge level is low.
Connecting the charging station
- Finish laying the complete perimeter wire (18) before you connect it to the charging station. Keep an extra length of 1 m of perimeter wire (18) at each end so that you can make further adjustments at a later time.
- Using a wire stripper, remove a length of 10 to 15 mm of the insulation at the ends of the perimeter wire (18) for connecting to the charging station (19).
- Pull out the power plug before you connect the perimeter wire (18) to the charging station (19). The perimeter wire (18) laid to the front end of the charging station (19) must be run to the back via the cable holders on the underside of the charging station (19).
- Connect this perimeter wire (18) to the connection on the left (black). Then pass the rear perimeter wire (18) through the hole (stress-relief) in the connection area and connect it to the connection on the right (red) (Fig. 7a).
- Important! Perimeter wires (18) must not cross over!
- Then connect the power supply. The LED indicators (21) on the charging station (19) should light up green and stay on permanently.
- If the LED does not light up, check the connections first. If the LED lights up green but not permanently, read the “Indicators on the charging station and troubleshooting” table at the end of these operating instructions.
Switching on and checking the installation
- As soon as the LED indicator (21) on the charging station (19) lights up green, the mowing area is ready for the robot lawn mower.
- Please check first that all the fastening pegs (14) on the perimeter wire (18) have been fully tapped in.
- Place the robot lawn mower about 3 m to the rear of the charging station (19) in front of the perimeter wire (18).
- The robot lawn mower needs to be facing the perimeter wire (18) at an angle of 90° (Fig. 7b). Switch on the main switch (7) (ON) (Fig. 8).
- Unlock the robot lawn mower by entering the PIN (see the section “Locking mechanism / PIN”).
- Press the “MODE“ button (52). Then use the navigation buttons (55) to select the point “Back to station” and confi rm with the “OK“ button (56). Press the “START” button (53) and then close the display cover (23).
- The robot lawn mower will now follow the perimeter wire (18) in a counterclockwise direction. Observe the robot lawn mower during the complete trip along the perimeter wire (18) until it is back in the charging station (19).
- If the robot lawn mower has any problems at any point, correct the perimeter wire (18) if necessary and repeat the operation. The rechargeable battery of the robot lawn mower will now be fully charged.
- If any problems occur with docking, you may need to reposition the charging station (19) sideways until docking works without any problems.
- To stop the robot lawn mower at any time, press the red STOP button (3).
- When you press the STOP button (3), the robot lawn mower will come to a stop and wait for further instructions.
Securing the charging station
- Once the robot lawn mower is working properly and a suitable position for the charging station (19) has been found, the charging station (19) must be fixed in place using the fastening screws (15).
- Use the hexagon key (22) to secure the fastening screws (15) fully in the ground. (Fig. 7c)
Battery charge level indicator
- Press the button for the battery charge level indi-cator. The battery charge level indicator indicates the charge state of the battery employing 3 LEDs (Fig. 13b).
All 3 LEDs are lit:
- The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
- The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED flashes:
- The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
- The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, and keep it at room temperature for one day.
- If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment.
- Never use or charge a defective battery.
Important!
- When using a multi-Ah pack (e.g. 4-6Ah), always set the higher capacity. Thanks to the gentle charging and discharging of the robot lawn mower there is no need to use the lower capacity to extend the working life.
Charging the rechargeable battery with the charger
- In normal operation, the battery (A) of the robot lawn mower is charged via the charging station (19).
- For independent use of the battery (A) from the Power-X-Change series it can also be charged in the external Power-X-Charger.
- Important! – Depending on the model of your robot lawn mower, it might not come complete with the battery charger (Fig. 13a/Item B).
- Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (B) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
- Insert the rechargeable battery (A) into the battery charger (B) (Fig. 13a).
- In the section entitled „Charger indicator, “ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
The rechargeable battery can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
- whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts
- If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
- the charger
- and the battery pack to our customer service center.
- To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
- When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fires.
- To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops.
- Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged.
- This will cause it to develop a defect.

The original guarantee period remains applicable to the equipment even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fi tted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or for any replacement parts fi tted. This also applies if on-site service is used.
- To assert your guarantee claim, register the defective equipment at: www.Einhell-Service.com. You will need to provide proof of purchase of the new item of equipment. Equipment returned without such proof or a rating plate is excluded from the guarantee services because of the lack of traceability. If the defect is covered by our guarantee, then either the item in question will be repaired immediately and returned to you or we will send you a new replacement.
- If you have taken the equipment with you to a different EU country than where you bought it, we will arran-ge for a local service partner to provide the guarantee services. If you take the equipment outside the EU, the guarantee will not apply. Of course, we are also happy to offer a chargeable repair service for any defects that are not covered or are no longer covered by the scope of this guarantee. To take advantage of this service, please send the equipment to our service address. We draw attention to the restrictions of this guarantee concerning worn parts, consumables, and missing parts as presented in the service information included in this operating manual.
