Recommendations for class II devices
The device should be powered by a residual current device (RCD) with the operating current not more than 30 mA.
Risks related to noise and vibrations
The device has been designed to reduce as much as possible the risks associated with the user's exposure to noise and vibration.
However, it is not possible to completely eliminate these threats. In addition, people staying in the work environment are also
exposed to noise hazards.
However, you can reduce the risks associated with the above hazards by following these guidelines:
- the product should be used as intended in compliance with its instructions,
- you should make sure, that the device is in good condition and is regularly maintained,
- you should use proper and well-sharpened cutting tools,
- you should use a fi rm grip on the product handle,
- plan a job to allow frequent breaks.
Residual risk
Even when all safety precautions are observed at work, there is still a potential risk of injury. Due to the product structure, the
following risks remain.
Injuries associated with vibrations caused by the device being operated for too long, work in an inappropriate way or with a poorly
maintained device.
Injuries caused by an unexpected hit from hidden, thrown items.
PRODUCT OPERATION
Preparing for operation
Unpack the product by removing all packaging components. It is recommended to retain the packaging, which can be of use when
transporting or storing the product.
Check that no part of the product has been damaged during transport. In case of damage detection, such as cracks or deforma-
tions, it will disqualify the product from further use until it is repaired or damaged components are replaced.
It is recommended to place the components on a fl at, hard, and clean surface.
Use personal protective equipment such as protective gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing during assembly.
Caution! Before performing the lawnmower assembly, make sure that the product is disconnected from the power sup-
ply. The batteries must be disconnected from the lawnmower.
Attach lower handle brackets near rear wheels using the knobs (II). Make sure that the lower brackets are tilted outwards. Attach
the handle with the power switch to both brackets using the knobs (III). The handle should always point upwards. Make sure that
the cable connecting the power switch to the lawnmower is not tangled or strained. The cable must be attached to the bracket or
handle with a special holder (IV).
Make sure that the hooks of the catcher cover are put on a bar around the grass catcher inlet (V). Attach the catcher handle to the
top of the grass catcher cover. The markers on the handle and catcher cover should be aligned (V). A correctly assembled catcher
should look like in fi gure (VI). Attach the grass catcher to the lawnmower housing. Lift the grass discharge chute cover, hold the
cover in maximum top position, and attach the catcher on the hooks of the rear wall of the lawnmower housing (VII). Lower the
catcher cover and check that its edges are in the cavities at the top of the catcher cover (VIII).
To disassemble the catcher, follow the above procedure in the reverse order.
Cutting height adjustment (IX)
The lawnmower is equipped with a lever that allows you to change the cutting height easily and quickly. Slide the lever to the side
by pulling it out of the guide seat. Then move forwards or backwards and, once the desired height has been set, move the lever
to the side, locking its position in the guide seat.
Warning! If you need to change the cutting height during operation, always switch off the lawnmower fi rst, wait for the blade to
stop, disconnect the batteries from the lawnmower and then change the cutting height. Accidental starting of the blade during a
height adjustment may result in serious injury.
Connecting the lawnmower to the power supply
The tool is powered by two batteries. It will not start if one of the batteries is not installed in the tool or is fl at. The batteries in the
tool are connected in series, which means that the tool is supplied with the sum of their rated voltages. It is recommended that
both batteries have the same capacity and are charged to the same level. The batteries used to supply the tool should also have
the same level of wear. It is not recommended to connect a fl at battery with a new one, even if both batteries are charged to the
same level and have the same capacity. Failure to comply with the above recommendations will result in shorter operating times
and faster wear of the batteries used to supply the tool.
