Safe operation

F DANGER

• Check that the blade, blade bolts and blade unit are undamaged each time before using the device.
• Never lock the On/Off switch in the ON po- sition, this is extremely dangerous.
• Pull the device backwards only when absolutely necessary. If you need to pull the device away from a wall or obstacle, first pull downwards to prevent yourself from stumbling or pulling the device over your feet.
• Danger of coming into con- tact with the open blade or being hit by flung objects. Do not tip the device when starting the motor or while the motor is running. If tipping is absolutely necessary, e.g. to make starting easier, then you can raise the front of the device by 5 cm. Press the handle carefully down- wards for this. You must return the device to the normal operating position (i.e. all four wheels on the ground) before starting to mow.
• Knives that come into contact with a live cable may energize exposed metal parts of the device and cause an electric shock.

Risk reduction

➀ CAUTION

• __ Using the device for longer periods can cause poor circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be set, because this depends on several influencing factors:
• Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin- gers)
• Low ambient Wear warm gloves to protect your hands.
• Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
• Continuous operation is more harmful than opera- tion interrupted by work

You should see a doctor if using the device regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re- peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers.

The run time of the battery depends on several factors:

• The condition, length and density of the grass
• The cutting height setting

The maximum surface performance, depending on the state of the grass, with a 5 Ah battery pack: approx. 550 m2.
The results of the mowing process can be optimised as follows:

• Cut at a maximum of one third of the grass
• Reduce the speed at which push the device when mowing tall

Note

Do not mow wet grass. Wet grass sticks to the under- side of the lawnmower and prevents correct collection of the grass in the grass catcher or ejection of the grass.
