WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (10 – 12)

■

Switch on the appliance before approaching
the grass to be cut and then lower slowly to
avoid overloading.

■

Tilt the appliance slightly forwards (approx.
30°) to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly (10).

■

When mowing, swivel the appliance evenly to
the right and left (11).

■

Long grass must be mown in several passes.
Always proceed from top to bottom (11).

■

The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore, do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.

■

If the appliance is overloaded in long grass,
the line will be blocked. Immediately lift the
appliance so it releases. Otherwise, the mo-
tor could be permanently damaged.

■

Do not move the appliance directly against
hard obstacles (e.g. walls), but mow side-
ways. This protects the cutting line (12).

■

Keep the appliance away from delicate
plants. Fold the plant protection bar into the
horizontal position.

■

Allow the appliance to rest on the jockey
wheel when trimming lawn edges. This will
prevent excessive wear of the cutting line
when trimming lawn edges.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

WARNING! Danger of cuts and lacera-

tions.

Danger of cuts and lacerations when

reaching into sharp-edged, moving appliance
parts and into cutting tools.

■

Before maintenance, care and cleaning work,
always switch off the appliance. Remove the
rechargeable battery.

■

Always wear protective gloves during mainte-
nance, care and cleaning work.

NOTE

Repair work is only allowed to be car-

ried out by expert workshops or our service cen-
tres.

■

Do not get the appliance wet or expose it to
moisture. Do not spray with water.

■

After each use, clean the housing and cutting
blades with a brush or cloth. Do not use wa-
ter and/or aggressive cleaning agents or sol-
vents - risk of corrosion and damage to the
plastic parts.

■

After every use, remove the rechargeable bat-
tery and inspect the appliance for damage.

■

Do not use the appliance if the blade of the
line cutter is missing or damaged.

■

Always keep the guard plate, spool head and
motor clear of mowing residues.

■

Inspect all bolts for tightness.

■

Inspect the electrical contacts of the appli-
ance for corrosion, clean with a fine wire
brush if necessary and then spray with a con-
tact spray.
