1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Electric Lawnmower

The GARDENA electric lawnmower is designed for cutting lawns in and around the garden. Do not use the mower on a slope steeper than 20° maximum.

To prevent injury, the electric lawnmower must not be used for trimming bushes, hedges, shrubs, for cutting and pruning of climbers or grass on roofs or in balcony boxes. In addition, the electric lawnmower must not be used for chopping up branches, twigs or for levelling irregularities in the soil.

2. Safety instructions

V Please read the notes on safety on the electric lawnmower.

Warning! V Please read the

operating instructions before using the mower!

Danger! Risk of injury!

V Keep bystanders away!

Danger! V Cutting mechanism can cause

injuries!

V Unplug from the mains before

maintenance or if the mains lead is damaged.

V Keep the connection cable

away from the mower.

Check each time you use the mower:

Inspect the mower each time before you use it. Do not use the mower if the safety devices (switch handle, protective cover, cable strain relief, start button, grassbox) and/or the cutting mechanism are damaged or worn.

Replace damaged or worn parts. Never disable safety devices.

Check the grass to be cut before you start work. Remove any foreign bodies present (e.g. stones, branches).

Check the cutting tool for damage regularly and have it professionally repaired if necessary.

Operation:

This electric lawnmower can cause serious injuries!

You are responsible for the safety of the working area.

Do not tilt the mower on its side whilst using it. Never lift or carry the mower with the motor

running. Only use the electric lawnmower for the

purposes specified in these instructions. Wear sturdy shoes and long trousers to

protect your legs. Keep your fingers and feet away from the

cutting blade and the cutting path. Make sure you always take up a safe and

stable stance whilst working, especially on slopes.

Be particularly careful if you change direction on a slope.

Be careful when going backwards. Risk of stumbling!

Look out for foreign bodies when working (e. g. stones).

Do not let the handle fall forwards freely when folding it up.

Interruptions of work:

Never leave the electric lawnmower unattended at the working area.

If you interrupt your work store the unit in a safe place. Disconnect the mains plug!

When you interrupt work in order to go to another working area, always switch off the electric electric lawnmower during transport.

Environmental influences:

Only work when visibility is good. Familiarise yourself with the surroundings of

your working area. Check for possible risks which might be not audible due to the noise of the machine.

Make sure that there are no other people (especially children) or animals anywhere near the working area.

If you do strike an obstacle when working, release the switch handle, pull out the mains plug and remove the obstacle. Check the mower for damage and have it repaired if necessary.

Do not use the electric lawnmower if it is raining or in moist, wet conditions.

Please observe any local restrictions or noise levels.

Electrical safety:

DANGER! Electric shock!

If the insulation is damaged on the screw fastening the blade in position, this must be replaced by GARDENA Service or a specialist dealer authorised by GARDENA.

The electric electric lawnmower must only be operated with an undamaged electric cable. If the electric cable or the extension cable is damaged disconnect the mains plug immediately.

The connection cable must be checked regularly for signs of damage and ageing (e.g. cracks).

The cable strain relief on the plug switch must be used (see 4. Operation).

Do not pull on the cable which is attached to the side of the upright.

The cable strain relief on the steering upright must be used (see 3 Fitting the cable clip).

Do not use the electric lawnmower close to swimming pools or garden ponds.

For portable units, which are used outdoors, we recommend to use a residual-current device having a residual-current rating ≤ 30 mA. In Switzerland use of a residualcurrent device is obligatory.

The socket of an extension cable should be water-proof and the connection sockets for extension cables must be made of rubber or be encased in rubber.

Only use permitted extension cables. Ask your electrician.

Keep the extension cable away from the area you are cutting.

The mains voltage and the equipment voltage stated on the type plate must be the same. If extension cables are used, these must comply with the minimum cross-sections in the table below:

Voltage Cable Cross-

length section

220-240V/ 50Hz Up to 20 m 1.5 mm

220-240V/ 50Hz 20 - 50 m 2.5 mm

A brief voltage dip may occur when you switch on your electric lawnmower (due to conditions of the power supply) that may affect other devices (e.g. a lamp may flicker).

This problem should not occur with supply impedances of Z

max

< 0,46 Ohm.
