General Safety Rules
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, keys, nails, screws, or other metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5) Service
a) 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.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.

3. Depending on the desired cutting height, click the spacers (17) together. The more spacers you use, the lower the cutting height.
4. Removing the blade (18). Press the required spacers into the recesses provided on the blade.
5. Position the blade (18) on the fan (19) with the inserted spacers (17) upwards and connect everything with the blade bolt (16). Tighten with the spanner (5). (Fig.5)
1. Hook the power cable (12) through the cable strain relief (14). (Fig.6)
2. Connect the equipment to the power supply.
3. Before switching on, ensure that the equipment is not in contact with any objects.
4. Before switching on, tilt the lawnmower SLIGHTLY to one side. This facilitates the start-up and prevents an unintentionally deep cutting circle at the point of contact, as the air cushion only builds up after start-up. (Fig.7)
5 To switch on, press the release button (13) while holding
down the start lever (15).
Release the release button (13).
6. To switch off, release the start lever (15). (Fig.8)
1. Turn the equipment over.
2. Use sturdy gloves and hold the blade (18) firmly. Loosen the blade bolt (16) with the supplied spanner (5). (Fig.4)
3. Install the new blade in the reverse order. Ensure that the blade is positioned correctlyand the screw tightened firmly.
NOTE: A higher cut height should be selected for the first cut of the season.
NOTE: Observe noise control and local regulations.
Regular mowing encourages increased foliation of the grass and kills off weeds at the same time. Therefore, not only does each mowing increase the density of the lawn, it also produces an evenly resilient lawn. The first cut is to be made in around April. In the main vegetation period, the lawn is to be mowed at least once a week.
WARNING! After switching off the equipment, the blade continues to turn for several seconds. Do not touch the moving blade. There is a risk of injury.
WARNING! Switch off the equipment after work and in order to transport it, disconnect the plug and wait until the blade stops. There is a risk of injury.
WARNING! Have work that is not described in these instructions carried out by a customer service centre that we have authorised. Use only original parts.
If the blade is blunt, it can be sharpened by a specialist workshop. If the blade is damaged or showing signs of imbalance, it must be replaced (see chapter on “Spare Parts”).
Clean the equipment before putting it away (see “General c leaning and Maintenance Work”).
In order to save space, loosen the wing nuts (3) and fold the central struts (2) downwards and place the curved handle (1) on them. Make sure that the cable of the device (10) is not pinched. (Fig.11)
We will not be liable for damages caused by our equipment where these are caused by improper repair or the use of nonoriginal parts or by use other than for the intended purpose.
WARNING! Do not hose down the lawnmower with water. This would result in the danger of an electric shock.
• Start mowing near the socket and work away from the
socket.
• Always keep the extension cable behind you and when you
turn, move it to the side that has already been mowed. (Fig.9)
• Run the equipment at a walking pace, in tracks that are as
even as possible. For gap-free mowing, the tracks should always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Adjust the cut height so the equipment is not overloaded.
otherwise, the motor may be damaged.
• on slopes, always work across the slope. Take particular
care when going backwards and pulling the equipment.
• clean the equipment after each use, as described in the
chapter on “cleaning, Maintenance and Storage”.
• Always keep the equipment clean. To clean, use a brush or
cloth but no detergent or solvent.
• After mowing, use a piece of wood or plastic to remove
adherent plant remains from the ventilation holes and blade area. Do not use hard or pointed objects, as these may damage the blade. (Fig.10)
• Oil the rollers from time to time
• Before each use, check the lawnmower for obvious defects
such as loose, worn or damaged parts. check that all nuts, bolts and screws are sitting firmly.
• Check the covers and protective devices for damage and
check that they are sitting correctly. Replace them if necessary.
• Keep the equipment dry and out of reach of children.
• Allow the motor to cool before storing the equipmentin a
confined space.
• Do not cover the equipment with nylon bags as moisture
could build up.

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, keys, nails, screws, or other metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5) Service
a) 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.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
After use, check the tool to make sure that it is in top condition.It is recommended that you take this tool to a RYOBI Authorized Service Center for a thorough cleaning and lubrication at least once a year.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE MOTOR IS IN MOTION. ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE TOOL BEFORE CHANGING REMOVABLE OR EXPENDABLE PARTS (BIT...ETC.), LUBRICATING OR WORKING ON THE UNIT.
WARNING!
To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER or other QUALIFIED
