1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Electric Cylinder Lawnmower
The GARDENA Electric Cylinder Lawnmower has been designed
for cutting lawn and grass areas of private houses.
Compliance with these instructions provided by GARDENA is a
prerequisite for using the cylinder lawnmower correctly.
The Electric Cylinder Lawnmower should not be used for
cutting climbing plants or grass on roofs, due to the danger
of bodily harm.

GB
VV
Keep the power cable
away from the cutting
blades.
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, cable strain relief, start button,
blade cover) and/ or the cutting mechanism
are damaged or worn. Replace damaged or
worn parts. Never disable safety devices.
Inspect the surface on which the lawn mower
is to be used beforehand. Stones, pieces of
wood and wires as well as other solid matter
must be removed.
Objects which are contacted by the cutting
tools could be thrown out uncontrollably or
damage the cutting mechanism.
Proper use / Responsibility
Warning!
Take note that the rotating blade
cylinder could cause injuries.
VV
Never place your hands or feet
on or under moving parts.
The safety distance between the blade cylinder and the operator that is created by the
guiding spar is to be always maintained.
This electric cylinder 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 flexible steerable mower for the
purposes specified in these instructions.
Wear sturdy shoes and long trousers to
protect your legs.
Make sure you always take up a safe and
stable stance whilst working, especially on
slopes.
Always mow across the slope, never up and
down. Do not mow excessively steep 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).
Interruptions of work:
Never leave the cylinder mower unattended. If
you interrupt your work, pull out the mains plug
and store the cylinder mower in a safe place.
When you interrupt work in order to go to
another working area, always switch off the
electric cylinder lawnmower during transport.
If, despite taking precautions, you strike an
object when working or the mower starts to
vibrate vigorously, release the switch handle.
Pull out the mains plug.
Remove the blockage; check the mower for
any damage and have it repaired if necessary.
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.
However, if an obstruction arises whilst working, release the starting handle, unplug the
mower from the mains and remove the obstacle. Check the mower for damage and have it
repaired if necessary.
Do not use the electric cylinder lawnmower if
it is raining or in moist, wet conditions.
Please observe any local restrictions or noise
levels.
Electrical safety:
DANGER!
Electric shock!
The electric cylinder 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).
It is essential to use the cable strain relief on
the upper part of the upright.
Do not use the flexible steerable mower 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 residual-current device
is obligatory.
Only use extension cables authorised for outdoor use. Ask your electrician. Keep the extension cable away from the area you are cutting.

4. Function
To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the
lawn one a week if possible. The lawn becomes thicker if cut
frequently.
Relatively long cut grass (> 1 cm) must be removed so that the
lawn does not become yellow and matted.
After relatively long intervals between mowing (holiday lawn), up
to max. 12 cm, first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height
as high as possible, then cut in the crosswise direction at the
cutting height required.
If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp,
the cutting pattern will be uneven.
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 50 m 1.5 mm
