as described in section 7.2 „The Accu
– Changing the Accu“.
Note: the Accu is charged at the
factory but may loose its capacity
if it has been stored for a long
time. If the Accu is flat when you
purchase your Cordless Motor
Mower or immediately after use,
you must recharge the Accu as
described in section “Charging
the Accu”.
5.2 Starting your Mower
(Fig. A/ E)
Warning! Before starting your
Cordless Motor Mower check
for foreign bodies in the cutting
cylinder and remove if necessary.
Start your Cordless Motor Mower
as follows:
1. Stand your mower on a level
part of the lawn.
2. Open the accu cover
N
.
3. Insert the key Q(supplied
in the battery compartment)
the right way round into the
socket of the Motor Mower
(Fig. E).
4. Close the accu cover.
5. To start the motor, press and
hold down the release knob
D
and with the other hand, simultaneously pull the starting handle Etowards the cross bar
(Fig. A).
6. If you release the starting
handle Ethe motor switches
off again.
Important ! Always keep the
accu cover closed when working with the Motor Mower!
A
The switches installed
by the manufacturer must
not be removed or be bridged
eg: by taping down the starting
handle
E
to the guide handle.
5. Putting into Operation
6.1 General Remarks
on the Care of Lawns
At the beginning of the grasscutting season and with newly
laid lawns, we recommend you
select a relatively high cutting
height (e.g. 45 mm) then gradually
decrease the cutting height over
time. To maintain a well kept lawn
you should set the cutting height
to approximately 20 mm.
If possible, mow your lawn once
a week. When you mow your lawn
frequently the short roots of the
grass grow making your lawn
more resistant. Always mow your
lawn when it is relatively dry.
To obtain a clean cut guide the
Accu Cordless Motor Mower in
lanes as straight as possible at
a walking pace.
Ensure that the lanes overlap
by a few centimetres so that no
uncut strips are left behind.
Cut the lawn for the first time in
spring when the grass begins to
grow and the lawn can be walked
on. If the grass has grown too
long first cut it length-wise with
a high cutting height setting
(approx. 45 mm) and then cut
at right angles with the desired
lower cutting height setting (e.g.
25 mm).
The area of lawn you can mow
with one charged accu depends
on the height and thickness of
the lawn, i.e. the taller and thicker
the lawn, the smaller the area of
lawn you can mow with one fully
charged Accu.
6.2 Mowing
Tip: Only cut with a sharp cutting cylinder so that the grass
is not bruised and turn yellow.
For a clean cut guide the Cordless Motor Mower at an appropriate speed in lanes as straight
as possible.
Note: The Cordless Motor Mower
can be operated with the Accu
or without as a hand mower.
Warning: The revolving cutting
cylinder can cause injuries.
Always maintain the distance
between the cutting cylinder
and user suggested by the
guide handle.
When working on inclines
always stand diagonally to the
incline in a sturdy, safe stance.
To prevent tripping, take particular care when moving backwards and when pulling the
Cordless Motor Mower.
For information on how to set
the cutting height see section
“Setting the Cutting Height”.
Blockage Protection
If the mower is blocked by a foreign body or if the motor is overloaded, the motor is automatically
switched off by the blockage protection. Remove the key from the
socket. Remove the foreign body
or the cause for the overload and
after a few seconds restart the
mower.
If the motor switches off although
there are no foreign bodies in the
cutting tool it is possible that the
cutting height you have selected
is too low. Select a higher cutting
height, e.g. 45 mm and then
select a lower cutting height for
the second cut.
Circuit Breaker
If the Cordless Motor Mower is
overloaded over a longer period of
time the motor may become hot.
To protect the motor from overheating the circuit breaker switches the motor off.You can switch
the mower on again after approximately 5-10 minutes.
Automatic Cut-Off
(discharge protection)
The mower switches off automatically as soon as the capacity
of the Accu has been exhausted
(discharge protection). We recommend recharging the battery
straight away.
Key
To prevent switching on the Motor
Mower unintentionally, remove
the key
Q
from the socket.
6.3 Mowing with the Grass
Catcher (optional) (Fig. F)
A
Only attach the grass
catcher when the motor
is switched off and the cutting
tool has stopped moving.
Using the GARDENA grass
catcher saves you having to rake
together the grass cuttings.
To attach the grass catcher:
1. Hook the grass catcher holders
G
over the hooks Hof the
Cordless Motor Mower and
2. Hook the carrying chain onto
the lower part of the guiding
handle.
Note: The height of the grass
catcher can be adjusted using
the latch-in hook on the chain.
For the best grass-catching
results, push your mower at a
walking pace.
6. Information Concerning Correct Mowing
7.1 Maintenance
Maintenance includes all jobs
which keep your Accu Cordless
Motor Mower in perfect working
order. By regularly checking the
unit (firm seating of screw connections, cracks, damage) and
replacing defective or worn parts
you can prevent accidents and
failure.
Repairs may only be carried
out by GARDENA service
centres or dealers authorised
by GARDENA.
A
Before cleaning and set-
ting the Motor Mower,

starting the motor unintentionally.
7.2 The Accu (Fig. E/G)
Charging the Accu
A
Note: Only charge the
Accu with the charger
supplied! Using other charging
units could lead to damage and
injury. Using a charger other
than the GARDENA charger
supplied releases GARDENA
from all liability and warranty
claims.
A
Warning! The mower
cannot be started as long
as the charger is plugged in!
We recommend charging the
Accu immediately after using
your mower using the supplied
charger
J
for 24 hours.
Important ! If you do not use
the Accu for a longer period of
time it will get its full efficiency
after several charging cycles.
If the Accu is completely flat,
e.g. due to too long storage
without any recharge, it will
get its full efficiency again after
several charging cycles.
A
Attention! Never charge
the Accu after having
been heated up by operation
or sun. Let cool down first.
Never expose the Accu to
direct sunlight while charging.
Never charge the Accu anywhere near acids and easily
inflammable materials.

Wear sturdy shoes and long
trousers to protect your legs.
Keep fingers and feet away
from the cutting tool.
Make sure that there are no
other people (especially children) or animals anywhere
near the working area.
Ensure that you have a secure foothold when working.
Attention! Take extra care
when walking backwards.
You may stumble!
If, in spite of this, you come
into contact with any obstruction when cutting, turn off the
mower. Remove the key from
the socket. Remove the object
then check the mower for
damage and have it repaired
if necessary.
A Interruptions of work
