For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove the isolator key
and the battery before adjusting, cleaning or if
cable is cut, damaged or entangled.

The blades continue to rotate for a few sec­onds after the machine is switched off.

Caution – do not touch rotating blades.

Charging the Battery
Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of the

power source must agree with the voltage specified
on the nameplate of the unit. Equipment marked with
230 V can also be connected to 220 V or 240 V.

Use only the charging unit supplied. Only this
charging unit is matched to the lithium-ion battery
used in the product.

The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring
that allows charging only in the temperature range
between 0 °C and 45 °C. In this manner, a high bat­tery service life is achieved.

The battery is delivered with a partial charge. Before
using the product for the first time, fully charge the
battery. Independent of the charged state, the lith­ium ion battery can be charged at anytime without
shortening its service life (no memory effect). Inter­rupting the charging procedure will not cause dam­age to the battery.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep dis­charging when used in the power tool. When the bat­tery is discharged the power tool is switched off by a
protective circuit and the tool no longer operates.

Do not continue to press the on/off switch after
an automatic switch off of the power tool. The

battery can be damaged.

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains
plug is plugged into the socket and the battery 8 is
inserted into the charging compartment 16.

Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging
condition of the battery is automatically detected and
the battery is charged with the optimum charging cur­rent, depending on battery temperature and voltage.

This gives longer life to the battery and always
leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for
storage.

Meaning of the Indication Elements

Control of the charging procedure is indicated via the
charge control LEDs 18 and 19:

Rapid-charging Procedure

The rapid-charging procedure is indi­cated by flashing of the green
charge control LED 19.

During the charging procedure, the 3 green battery
LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out.
The battery is fully charged when the 3 green LEDs
light up continuously. Approx. 5 minutes after the
battery has been fully charged, the 3 green LEDs go
out again.

The rapid-charging procedure is possible only

☞

when the temperature of the battery is be­tween 0 °C and 45 °C.

Battery Charged

Continuous lighting of the green

charge control LED 19 signals that
the battery is fully charged.

Additionally, a signal tone sounds for approx. 2 sec­onds, which acoustically indicates that the battery is
fully charged.

Afterwards the battery can be removed for immedi­ate use.

With no battery inserted, continuous lighting of the
green charge control LED 19 indicates that the
mains plug is plugged into the socket and that the
battery charger is ready for operation.

Battery Temperature below 0 °C and above 45 °C

Continuous lighting of the red

LED 18 indicates that the battery
temperature is not within the rapid-

45 °C. As soon as the allowable temperature range
is reached, the battery charger automatically
switches to rapid charging.

When the battery is not within the allowable temper­ature range, the red battery LED lights up when in­serting the battery into the battery charger.

No Charging Procedure Possible due to Defec­tive Battery

The charging procedure can not be started and the
battery cannot be charged. (see for advice Fault
Finding)

charging temperature range of 0 °C –

If a different malfunction of the charg­ing procedure is present, this will be
indicated through flashing of the red
charge control LED 18.

Charging Advice

■ With continuous or several repetitive charging cy­cles without interruption, the charger can warm
up. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a
technical defect of the unit.

■ A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery must be re­placed.

Battery Cooling (Active Air Cooling)

The fan control integrated in the battery charger con­trols the temperature of the inserted battery. When
the battery temperature is above 30 °C, a fan cools
down the battery to the optimal charging tempera­ture. The switched-on fan produces a fan noise.

The battery temperature is within the optimal charg­ing temperature range when the fan is not running,
or the fan may possibly be defective. In this case, the
charging time of the battery extends.

Assembly

Do not connect the battery and/or the iso­lator key before product is completely as­sembled.

Handle assembly

A

➊ Insert the handle bottom 6 into the holes provided

and

➋ secure with the screws.

Note: The handle top 3 is height adjustable. Fix han­dles in desired position I or II.

➌ Attach the handle top 3 with the bolts and wing

nuts 22 to the handle bottom 6.
Note: Ensure that the cable clips supplied are used

to fix the cable to the handle.

Adjusting the Cutting Height

Stop, release switch lever and wait until
the motor stops before adjusting height.

The blades continue to rotate after the ma­chine is switched off, a rotating blade can cause
injury.

Caution – do not touch rotating blades.

For the first cutting of the season, a high cutting ad­justment should be selected.

The lawnmower can be set to 7 cutting heights

F

between 35 mm and 70 mm. For this purpose, press
the height of cut lever 12 inwards then lift or push
down the mower until required height is selected.

The lawnmower may be used to cut down to 20 mm
by removing the blanking plate 25 as shown.

The mower is fitted with a blade brake. This safety

feature stops the blade from rotating in a few sec­onds.

Mowing

When mowing do not allow the motor to la-

bour particularly in heavy conditions. When

the motor labours the speed of the motor
drops and you will hear a change in the motor sound,
when this occurs stop mowing, release the switch le­ver and raise the height of cut. Failure to do so will
reduce area of cut and could damage the product or
battery.

Protect the battery from heat, for example, also the
continuous exposure to sun radiation and fire.

Product will not function if temperature
is below 0 °C or above 45 °C!

The grass combs 11 allow a very close cut to the

H

wall or edge. Beware of running combs into objects
while cutting close to walls/edges.

Do not leave the battery in the mower in direct sun­light.

Charge-control Indicator (see main figure)

The battery 8 is equipped with a charge-control indi­cator 14 which indicates its charge condition. The
charge-control indicator consists of 3 green LEDs.

Press the button 13 to actuate the charge-control in­dicator 14. The charge condition can also be
checked when the battery is removed. After approx.
5 seconds, the charge-control indicator goes out au­tomatically.

LED Battery Capacity

Continuous lighting of
3 green LEDs ≥ 2/

Continuous lighting of
2 green LEDs ≥ 1/

Continuous lighting of
1 green LED ≤ 1/

Flashing of 1 green LED Reserve

When no LED lights up after actuating the button 13,
the battery is defective and must be replaced.

For safety reasons, the charge condition of the bat­tery can only be checked when the product is at a
standstill.

During the charging procedure, the 3 green battery
LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out.
The battery is fully charged when the 3 green LEDs
light up continuously. Approx. 5 minutes after the
battery has been fully charged, the 3 green LEDs go
out again.

Temperature Control Indicator (see main figure)

The red LED 15 signals that the battery or the elec­tronics of the product are not within the optimum
temperature range. The product will not operate at
full capacity.

Temperature Control of the Battery

The red LED 15 flashes when the battery is not
within the optimum temperature range (–10 to
+60 °C) and button 13 or the On/Off switch 1 is
pressed.

The battery switches off at a temperature above
70 °C until the optimum temperature range is
reached again.

Temperature Control of the product Electronics

The red LED 15 lights up continuously when the
temperature of the product electronics are above
75 °C and the On/Off switch 1 is pressed.

At a temperature above 90 °C, the electronics switch
off the product until the temperature is within the al­lowable operating temperature range again.

Area of Cut (Battery Duration)

The area of cut (battery duration) depends on lawn
conditions, grass density, mositure content, grass
length and height of cut.

Switching the product on and off frequently during
cutting will also reduce the area of cut (battery dura­tion).
