NOTE

The vibration emission values and the noise emission values given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised test procedure and can be used for comparison of the power tool with another tool.
The specified total vibration values and the noise emission values can also be used to make a provisional load estimate.

WARNING!

Depending on the manner in which the power tool is being used, and in particular the kind of workpiece being worked, the vibration and noise emission values can deviate from the values given in these instructions during actual use of the power tool.
It is necessary to establish safety measures to protect the operator based on an estimation of the vibration load during actual use (wherein all states of operation must be included, e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times where the power tool is switched on but running without load).

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use extension cords that are also suitable for use outdoors. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not allow yourself to get lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety regulations for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after repeated use. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children, and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use and handling of the cordless electrical power tool

Only charge rechargeable batteries using the chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers are often designed for a particular type of rechargeable battery unit. There is a risk of fire if other types of rechargeable battery units are used.
Only the rechargeable battery units supplied are to be used with an electrical power tool. The use of other rechargeable battery units may lead to the danger of injury or fire.
When they are not being used, store rechargeable battery units away from paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery unit may result in heat damage or fire.
Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affected area with water. Seek additional medical help if any of the fluid gets into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or modified batteries may behave unexpectedly and cause fires, explosions or pose a risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery to fire or excessively high temperatures. Fire or temperatures in excess of 130°C (265°F) can cause an explosion.
Follow all instructions regarding charging and never charge the battery or the cordless tool outside the temperature range given in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside of the permissible temperature range can destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.

CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never charge non-rechargeable batteries.

Protect the rechargeable battery from heat (for example, from continuous exposure to sunlight), fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never try to repair damaged batteries. Batteries should only be maintained by the manufacturer or an approved customer service centre.

Safety instructions for lawnmowers

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

After the appliance is switched oﬀ, the blade 23 continues to rotate for a few seconds. Do not touch the moving blade 23. There is a risk of personal injury.

Working with the lawnmower
Regular mowing stimulates the grass plant to pro-duce more leaves, and at the same time causes weeds to die oﬀ. Therefore, repeated mowing causes the lawn to become denser and an uniform-ly resilient lawn is created. The ﬁrst cut is made from about April onwards at a growth height of 70–80 mm. During the main vegetation period, you should mow the lawn at least once a week.

Push the appliance at walking pace in as straight a path as possible. For seamless mowing, the strips should always overlap by a few centi-metres.
Set the cutting height so that the appliance is not overloaded. Otherwise the motor could be damaged.
Always work across the slope. Be extremely careful when mowing backwards and when dragging the appliance.
Clean the appliance after every use as de-scribed in the section “Cleaning, maintenance and storage”.

The diﬀerence between mowing and mulching
When using the mulching kit 19, the grass cuttings are not collected in a catcher but shredded and distributed on the lawn.
The nutrients contained in the lawn clippings are thus broken down by soil organisms and form a nutrient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore need to be fertilised much less frequently.
As a rule of thumb, the lawn needs to be mowed relatively often so that only small amounts of mulch remain on the lawn.
Ideally, you should mulch the lawn at least once a week and the mower should be set so that only about 40% of the total height of the lawn is mulched. If too mulch is left on the lawn (for exam-ple, during the ﬁrst lawn cut of the year or during strong growth), use the grass catcher 8.

Cleaning, maintenance and storage

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Always switch the appliance oﬀ and remove the battery before carrying out any work on the appliance.

Have any work that is not described in these in-structions carried out by a customer service centre authorised by us. Use only original parts.
Always wear safety gloves when han-dling the blade.
Switch the appliance oﬀ and remove the contact key 15 and wait until the blade is at a complete standstill before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work. There is a risk of per-sonal injury.

General cleaning and maintenance work

WARNING!

Do not spray the lawnmower with water. There is a risk of electric shock.

Keep the appliance clean at all times. Use a brush or cloth for cleaning, but do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
After mowing, use a piece of wood or plastic to remove any plant debris adhering to the wheels, the air vents, the discharge opening and the blade area. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects. You could damage the appli-ance.
