1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is applied.

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.

Before using the equipment

The lawn mower is delivered partly assembled. The push bar and the grass basket must be assembled before using the lawn mower. Follow the instructions step by step and refer to the pictures when assembling.

Fitting the push bar
Fit the top push bar (2) and the push bar holder (3) as shown in Fig. 3a-3d. The push bar can be adjusted to 3 different settings.
Warning! Always set the identical handle height on both sides.

Fitting the grass basket (see Fig. 4)
Before you fit the grass basket you must ensure that the motor is switched off and the blade is not rotating. Also, pull out the safety plug (12) and remove all the power batteries (16). Lift the ejector flap (Fig. 4/Item 7) with one hand. With the other hand, hold the grass basket by the handle and hook it in from above.

Filling level indicator of the grass collector (fig. 13)
The grass collector is equipped with a filling level indicator (Fig. 2/Item 15), which is lifted by the airflow that the lawn mower generates during operation. If this drops down onto the grass catch basket during mowing, this means that the grass collector is full and needs emptying.

Adjusting the cutting height
Caution! Adjust the cutting height only when the machine has been switched off, the safety plug (12) has been pulled out and the batteries (16) removed.
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry out this check, first switch off the motor and pull out the safety plug.
The cutting height is adjusted as follows (see Fig. 8):

1. Push the lever (6) outwards.
2. Set the lever (6) to the desired cutting height.
3. Release the lever (6) and check that it is securely seated in the lock.

Using the mulching adapter (Fig. 5a)
In mulching mode the cuttings are shredded in the enclosed mower housing and then spread back onto the lawn. It is not necessary to gather and dispose of the grass.
Important! Mulching is only possible if the lawn is relatively short.
Warning! Insert the mulching blade only when the machine has been switched off, the safety plug (12) has been pulled out and the batteries (16) removed.
To use the mulching function, disconnect the catch bag, slide the mulching adaptor (Fig. 5a/Item 18) through the ejector opening and close the ejector flap again.

Side ejector (Fig. 5b)
You must fit the mulching adapter (18) to use the side ejector. Hook in the side ejector adapter (19) as shown in Fig. 5b.

Charging the battery (Fig. 10-12)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing the pushlock button.
2. 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 (17) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack (16) into the battery charger (17).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The battery pack 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 charging unit
• and the battery pack to our customer service centre.

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.

Fitting the battery (Fig. 12a/12b)

• Open the battery covering hoods (Item 4). Then insert the batteries in the mounts as shown.
• For optimum mowing results and battery power performance, it is always best to use batteries with the same capacity.
• It is also possible to use batteries with different capacities in the battery mounts A and B (Fig. 12a).
• Always make sure, however, that you use only batteries of the same capacity in each separate battery bank (Fig. 15).
  For example, you could use two 4.0 Ah batteries in one battery bank while using two 5.2 Ah batte-ries in the opposite battery bank.

Important! Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Always charge the two/all batteries simultaneously. The equipment‘s operating time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two/all batteries must always be fully charged before use. Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and make sure that it latches in place correctly.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 10)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (Fig. 10/Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Fig. 10/Item B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs. The charge level can also be read from the indicator (Fig. 6 / Item 22) on the upper long handle. The indicator does not work in the case of batte-ries with a switching function (e.g. 4-6 Ah).

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, keep it at room tem-perature 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.
Caution! Do not park the lawn mower in the sun. Batteries that have been inserted could heat up to inadmissible levels.

Operation

Caution! The lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before starting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug (Fig. 7) and remove the safety plug again when interrupting or terminating your work.
Important! For safety reasons, it is not possible to start the cordless lawn mower if the pitch angle is over ~70° ± 10°.
Caution! To prevent the equipment from switching on accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch (Fig. 6/Item 8) which must be pressed before the switching bar (Fig. 6/Item 1) can be activated. The lawn mower switches itself off when the switching bar is released. The start time can amount to several seconds (To make it easier to start, tilt the lawn mower slightly at the back (Fig. 14)). Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the equipment, ensure that the blade is not rotating, that the safety plug (12) is disconnected and that the batteries (16) have been removed.

Warning! Never open the chute flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still running. A rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass basket. Before you remove them, switch off the motor and pull out the safety plug (12) first.

Drive unit
If you press the drive lever/clutch lever (Fig. 6/Item 20) the clutch for the drive will be closed and the lawnmower will start to move with the engine running. Release the drive lever in good time to stop the moving lawnmower. Practice starting and stopping before you use the mower for the first time until you are familiar with controlling the mower.

Setting the speed (Vario Speed)
The driving speed of the lawnmower can be adjusted to various settings. To do so, turn the adjuster lever (Fig. 6 / Item 21) until the desired speed is reached.

Important! The drive only operates if the motor is switched on. You therefore have to start the motor each time first and wait at least until the rated speed of the motor has been reached before pressing the drive lever/clutch lever (20). It is recommended to adjust the driving speed to the length of the grass you want to cut. The longer the grass, the slower the speed you should select.

• Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the length of the long handles) is maintained between the user and the mower housing.
• Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines.
• Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers.
• Always mow along the incline (not up and down).
• For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.
• Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower. Tripping hazard!

Tips for proper mowing
It is recommended that you overlap the mo-wing swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.

• Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few centimetres in order to avoid stripes.
• How frequently you should mow your lawn is determined primarily by the speed at which the grass grows.
• In the main growing season (May – June) you will probably need to mow the lawn twice a week, otherwise just once a week.
• The cutting height should be between 4 – 6 cm and the amount of growth before mowing again should be 4 – 5 cm.
• Normal grass which has grown to a height of up to 8cm can be mown to the desired height in one go without any problems.
• If the grass is allowed to grow somewhat longer for whatever reason, do not make the mistake of cutting it back to the normal height in one go.
• This will harm the lawn. For grass that has grown to over 10 cm in height we therefore recommend that you mow it with the highest cutting height setting first.

Important!
The cutting height setting has an influence on the maximum area that can be mown.

• Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up.
• Deposits not only make it more difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
• Always mow along inclines (not up and down).
• You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding a position at an angle upwards.
• Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass.
• Make several passes so that no more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.
• Switch off the motor, pull the safety plug (12) and remove the batteries (16) before doing any checks on the blade.
• Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off .
• Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
• Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp.
• If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it.
• In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount.
• Replace any parts that are damaged.
• As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawn mower, it is time to empty the grass basket.
• Caution! Before taking off the grass basket, switch off the motor and wait until the blade has come to a stop. Pull out the safety plug (12).
• To take off the grass basket, use one hand to lift up the chute flap and the other to grab onto the basket handle.
• Remove the basket.
• For safety reasons, the chute flap automatically falls down after removing the grass basket and closing the rear chute opening.
• If any grass remains in the opening, it will be easier to restart the engine if you pull the mower back approximately 1m.
• Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
• In order to ensure that the majority of grass clippings are picked up, the inside of the grass basket must be cleaned after each use.
• Reattach the catch bag only when the motor is switched off , the safety plug has been pulled out and the blade has stopped.
• Lift up the chute flap with one hand and, holding the grass basket by its handle with the other hand, hang in the basket from the top.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Hazard!
Pull out the safety plug and remove all the battery packs (16) before starting any cleaning work (Fig. 7/Item 8).

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.
• Do not clean the lawn mower with running water, particularly with high-pressure water.
• We recommend cleaning the equipment immediately each time after use.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the equipment.

Maintenance

• Worn-out or damaged blades, blade mounts, and bolts should be replaced as set by an authorized professional in order to keep the equipment in balance.
• Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the equipment can be safely operated at all times.
• Check the grass catch assembly frequently for signs of wear.
• Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
• In order to ensure that you enjoy the equip-ment for many years to come, all screwed parts, as well as the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and lubricated.
• Keeping your lawn mower in good condition not only ensures a long lifespan and high performance but also enables the equipment to thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
• The blade is subjected to more wear and tear than any other component. Therefore, routinely check the condition of the blade and make sure that it is tightly fastened. If the blade is completely worn out, it must be immediately replaced or ground sharp again. An excessively vibrating mower means that the blade is not properly balanced or has become deformed from striking an object. In this case, the blade must be repaired or replaced.
• There are no other parts inside the equipment which require maintenance.

Lamps can be replaced by only replacement parts from the manufacturer. Please contact Ein-hell Customer Service.

Replacing the blade
For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade replaced by an authorized professional. Caution! Pull out the safety plug and remove the battery packs (16)! Wear work gloves! Only replace the blade with a genuine Einhell replacement blade, as this will ensure top performance and safety under all conditions.

Carry out the following steps to change the blade:

1. Undo the fastening screw (see Fig. 9).
2. Remove the blade and replace it with a new one.
3. When fitting the blade, make sure it is installed in the right direction. The blade‘s air vanes must project into the motor compartment (see Fig. 9). The dome mounts must be aligned with the punch holes in the blade. (see Fig. 9).
4. Then retighten the fastening screw. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.
   At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the lawn mower and remove any grass and dirt that may have accumulated. At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the blade. If repairs are necessary, please contact our customer service centre. Use only genuine spare parts.

You can also contact us by telephone using the service number shown. Please note the following terms under which guarantee claims can be made:

1. These guarantee terms apply solely to consumers, i.e. natural persons, who do not want to use this product in connection with either their commercial or other self-employed activities. These guarantee terms regulate additional guarantee services that the undermentioned manufacturer promises to buyers of its new products in addition to their statutory rights of guarantee. Your statutory rights of the guarantee are not aff ected by this guarantee. Our guarantee is free of charge to you.
2. The guarantee services cover only defects due to material or manufacturing faults on the new product that you have bought in the European Union from the undermentioned manufacturer and are limited to either the rectification of said defects or the replacement of the product, whichever we prefer. Please note that only equipment under the brand name “Professional” has been designed for use in commercial, trade or professional applications. For all other products, the guarantee is invalidated if the equipment is used within the guarantee period in commercial, trade or industrial applications or for other equivalent activities.
3. Our guarantee does not cover:
   • Damage to the equipment caused by failure to comply with the installation/assembly instructions or by unprofessional installation; damage caused by failure to comply with the operating instructions (e.g. connection to the wrong mains voltage or current type); damage caused by failure to comply with the maintenance and safety regulations; damage caused by exposing the equipment to abnormal environmental conditions; damage resulting from poor care and maintenance.
   • Damage to the equipment caused by misuse or incorrect applications (e.g. overloading the equipment or using non-approved attachments or accessories); damage caused by foreign bodies (e.g. sand, stones, dust, ….) getting inside the equipment. Damage in transit; damage caused by force or external influences (e.g. by dropping the equipment).
   • Damage to the equipment or parts of the equipment which is owed to use-related, normal or otherwise natural wear. For example, batteries and battery packs are manufactured with a cycle limit for design-related reasons. Wear is negatively influenced in particular by load demands and charging speeds as well as exposure to heat, cold, vibration and impact.
4. The guarantee is valid for 2 years starting from the purchase date of the equipment. Guarantee claims must be submitted before the end of the guarantee period and within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. 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 fitted 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 fitted. This also applies if on-site service is used.
5. 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.
6. If you have taken the equipment with you to a different different EU country than where you bought it, we will arrange 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 which 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.
