is required to do it at least from time to time. Under no circumstances is it allowed to discharge the batteries short-circuiting the
electrodes, since this would cause irreversible damage! It is also prohibited to check the load of the batteries, short-circuiting the
electrodes for sparking.
Storage of the battery
In order to prolong the life of the battery, it is required to provide adequate storage conditions. The batteries can go through ap-
proximately 500 „loading - discharging" cycles. The battery must be stored between 0 and 30°C, at the relative humidity of 50%. In
order to store the battery for a prolonged period, it is required to charge it to approximately 70% of its capacity. In case of prolonged
storage, it is required to recharge the battery once a year. Do not permit excessive discharging of the battery, since this would
reduce its life and may cause irreversible damage.
During storage, the battery will be gradually unloading due to leakage conductance. The process of automatic unloading depends
on the temperature of storage, since the higher the temperature, the fastest the process. In case of incorrect storage of batteries,
there is a danger of electrolyte leakage. In case of leakage, it is required protect the leakage with neutralizing agent. In case of
contact of electrolyte with the eyes, it is required to rinse the eyes abundantly, and then immediately seek medical assistance. It
is prohibited to use a tool with a damaged battery.
In case the battery is completely worn out, it is required to deposit it at a special point dedicated to disposal of such waste.
Transport of the batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are in accordance with legal regulations treated as dangerous waste. The user of the tool may transport the
tool with the battery or only batteries by land. Then no additional conditions must be complied with. In transport is realised by third
parties (for example dispatch through courier service), then it is required to proceed in accordance with regulations for transport
of dangerous materials. Before shipment, contact an authorised person.
It is prohibited to transport damaged batteries. During transport the battery must be removed from the tool, and the exposed
contacts protected, e.g. with insulating tape. Protect the batteries so that they do not move inside the package during transport. It
is also required comply with the national regulations for transport of dangerous materials.
Charging the battery
Attention! Before charging you should disconnect the charger from the mains by unplugging the power supply plug from the mains.
In addition, you should clean the battery and its terminals of dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
The battery has a built-in charge indicator. When you press the button, LEDs will light up (XVI), the more LEDs will light up, the
more fully the battery pack is charged. If the button is pressed and the LEDs are off it means that the battery is discharged.
Disconnect the battery from the tool.
Push the battery in the charger socket (XVI).
Plug the charger into a mains socket.
When the red LED lights up, it means the loading process.
When charging is complete, the red LED goes off , and green LED lights up, indicating a full charge of the battery.
Unplug the charger from the mains outlet.
Remove the battery from the charging station, by pressing the battery latch button.
Attention! If, when the charger is connected to the power supply, the green LED is on, this indicates a fully charged battery. In this
case, the charger does not start charging.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
Caution! Make sure that the product is disconnected from the power supply before starting any maintenance works. The
batteries must be disconnected from the lawnmower.
Always wear protective gloves during all maintenance works.
If the maintenance procedure is not contained in the manual, it means that it should be performed at an authorised service centre.
Clean the product after each use. Remove any residual grass with a soft cleaning tool, brush or cloth. Clean the ventilation open-
ings to ensure that they are clear.
Dirt that is diffi cult to remove can be cleaned with an air jet with a pressure of up to 0.3 MPa.
Never use chemicals, alkaloids, abrasives, or aggressive detergents to clean the product. The product cannot be cleaned with a
water jet or by immersion in water.
Check for wear and damage to the lawnmower blade. If excessive wear or damage is observed, replace the blade with a new one.
Always replace the blade with the original one, identical to the one installed in the lawnmower at the factory. Only the use of
original spare parts can maintain the product safety. The blade should be replaced by an experienced user. To do this, contact an
authorised service centre of the manufacturer.
Use the wrench to unscrew (counterclockwise) the blade mounting screw (XV) and remove it together with the washer.
Remove the old blade. If necessary, clean the blade holder. Mount the new blade ensuring the direction of the blade. The arrow
indicating the direction of the blade rotation should comply with the direction of the motor rotation.
Secure the blade by tightening the screw (clockwise) fi rmly and securely. As the mounting screw is made of plastic, it is recom-
mended to use a box or socket wrench to unscrew and tighten it.
