Lift the cover of the battery compartment. Slide the battery into one of the seats so that its latch is outside the seat. Slide the
battery into the seat until the latch engages. Repeat for the second battery (X). Make sure that the batteries will not disconnect on
its own during operation. Close the battery seat cover (XI). The cover should be closed at all times during operation. It reduces
the risk of contamination of the battery seats during operation. Disconnect the battery by pressing and holding the latch and then
pulling the battery out of the seat.
Starting and stopping the lawnmower
Place the lawnmower on a fl at, level, and hard surface. Make sure that there are no obstacles underneath the lawnmower that
could come into contact with the blade.
The power switch is equipped with a lock to prevent accidental activation of the device by pressing the power switch.
Press and hold the lock button in the middle of the power switch (XII) and then pull both power switch levers to the handle (XIII).
After starting the lawnmower, release the pressure on the lock button.
Releasing the pressure on the power switch levers will stop the lawnmower. The blade may still rotate for a while.
Operation of the lawnmower
Before starting work, prepare the grass mowing area. Check that there are no obstacles in the mowing area that could be caught
by the blade and damage the lawnmower, or be ejected and pose a risk to an operator or bystanders.
Check that there are no electrical cables in the work area that could be cut by the blade. Damage to an electrical cable presents
a risk of electrocution, which can lead to serious injury or death.
Make sure that there are no bystanders or pets in the work area. If such persons appear during operation, stop the lawnmower
immediately and only then warn people of the danger.
Check the grass length and adjust the cutting height. Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass length. If the grass is very long, it
should be cut in stages. Mowing must be carried out regularly to ensure that the grass length does not exceed the capabilities of
the lawnmower.
Never cut wet grass. Wet grass tends to stick inside the product, which interferes with its accumulation in the catcher. Wet grass
can also cause slipping and falling.
Check all lawnmower components before starting work. In case the damage is detected, do not start work before removing the
damage or replacing the damaged components with new ones. Make sure that the ventilation openings are clear. If necessary,
clean them with a soft cleaning tool or brush. Do not use sharp or metal objects for cleaning the lawnmower ventilation openings.
Check the tightness of the screw connections. Tighten if necessary.
Check that the handles are clean, free of grease and other contamination. If necessary, clean them with a soft cloth.
Take regular breaks during work to avoid fatigue and overwork. This will allow better product control and reduce the risk of acci-
dents.
Caution! Always push the lawnmower while working; never pull towards yourself. Pulling the lawnmower causes the oper-
ator to move backwards, which means he does not control the area behind him.
Push the lawnmower slowly; always walk, never run. This will give you better control of the lawnmower and reduce the response
time to unexpected events.
During mowing, move along the rows (XIV). Rows should be kept equal in width, slightly overlapping so as not to leave any space.
Take special care when changing the direction.
When cutting the grass near the fl ower beds, move around them.
Empty the catcher regularly during operation.
When work is fi nished, switch off the lawnmower, wait for the blade to stop, then disconnect the batteries and wait for the lawn-
mower to cool down, then start maintenance works.
Caution! If a foreign object hits the lawnmower during operation, switch it off immediately, wait for the blade to stop, then discon-
nect the batteries and allow the equipment to cool down. Then check the lawnmower for damage. If the damage is detected, it is
forbidden to continue working before removing the damage. Excessive vibration during operation can be caused by the lawnmow-
er damage. In that case, stop working, disconnect the batteries, and check the product.
Safety recommendations for battery loading
Attention! Before loading may start make sure the body of the charger, the cable and the plug are not broken or damaged. It
is prohibited to use a damaged loading dock and charger! For the purpose of loading batteries only the charging dock and the
charger provided may be used. Using another charger may be a cause of fi re or damage the tool. Batteries may be charged only
in a dry room, protected from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Do not use the charging dock and the charger without
permanent supervision of an adult! If it is necessary to leave the room where loading is taking place, it is required to disconnect the
charger from the mains, removing the charger from the mains socket. In case when smoke comes out of the charger, or a strange
smell is emitted, etc., it is required to immediately remove the plug of the charger from the mains socket!
The drill and automatic return screwdriver is provided with an unloaded battery, so before work may commence, it is required
to charge it following the procedure below, using the charger and charging dock provided. Li-ION batteries do not show the so
called "memory eff ect", so it is allowed to charge them at any moment. However, it is recommended to discharge them during
normal work, and then load them to their full capacity. If due to the nature of the task it is not possible to do so each time, then it
