Intended Use

Carefully follow the instructions below to assemble your  

iON cordless lawn mower.

The equipment may only be used for the tasks it is designed 

to handle. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. 

The user/operator, not the manufacturer, will be liable for any 

damage or injuries of any kind resulting from such misuse of 

the mower.
The lawn mower is intended for private residential use (i.e. for 

use in home and gardening environments). Private use of the 

lawn mower refers to an annual operating time generally not 

exceeding 50 hours, during which the machine is primarily 

used to maintain small-scale, residential lawns and home/

hobby gardens. Public facilities, sporting halls and agricultural/

forestry applications are excluded. Please note that this 

equipment has not been designed for commercial, trade 

or industrial applications. The warranty will be voided if the 

machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses 

or for equivalent purposes.
Keep these instructions and refer to them prior to each 

mowing session in order to ensure that the lawn mower 

is properly used and maintained. The instructions contain 

valuable information on operating, maintenance and servicing.

IMPORTANT!

 Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the user, 

the lawn mower may not be used to trim bushes, hedges or 

shrubs, to cut scaling vegetation, planted roofs, or balcony-

grown grass, to clean (suck up) dirt and debris off walkways, 

or to chop up tree or hedge clippings. Moreover, the lawn 

mower may not be used as a power cultivator to level out high 

areas such as molehills.

For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used as a 

drive unit for other work tools or toolkits of any kind.

Reduce noise generation and keep 

vibration to a minimum!

•  Use only equipment that is in perfect condition.
•  Maintain and clean the equipment regularly.
•  Adjust your work rate to the equipment's performance.
•  Do not overload the equipment.
•  Have the equipment checked if necessary.
•  Switch off the equipment when not in use.
•  Wear gloves.

Assembly

Fitting the Upper + Lower Handles

1.  The handle is fully pre-assembled and must only be 

unfolded and adjusted to the required height. To do so, 

loosen the upper handle knobs and unfold the upper 

handle. Then secure the upper handle again with the 

handle knobs on each side (Fig. 1).
