Charging the battery (Fig. 12a)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the side pushlock buttons.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(19) into the socket outlet. The green LED will
then begin to fl ash.
3. Insert the battery pack (18) into the battery
charger (19).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator" you
will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED
indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
Installing the battery (Fig. 12b)
Open the battery cover. This is done by pulling the
snap fastener (Item A) as shown in Fig. 12b and
swinging up the cover. Then insert the two batte-
ries in the mounts as shown in Fig. 12c.
Note!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same
level. Never combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment's operating time depends on the
battery with the lower charge level. The two bat-
teries must always be fully charged before use.
Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and
make sure that it latches in place correctly.

6. Operation
Caution!
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit
to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before star-
ting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug (Fig.
12d) and remove the safety plug again whenever
you interrupt or terminate your work.
Caution!
To prevent the machine switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety lock-off
(Fig. 14/Item 8) which must be pressed before the
button switches (Fig. 14/Item 1) can be activated.
The lawn mower switches itself off when the but-
ton switches are released. Repeat this process
several times so that you are sure that the ma-
chine functions properly. Before you perform any
repair or maintenance work on the equipment,
ensure that the blade is not rotating and that the
safety plug is disconnected.
Caution! Never open the chute fl ap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the motor is still running. A rotating bla-
de can cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
