Where to Use Your GARDENA Electric Cylinder Lawnmower Correct use : The GARDENA Electric Cylinder Lawnmower has been designed for cutting lawn and grass areas of private houses. Compliance with these instructions provided by GARDENA is a prerequisite for using the cylinder lawnmower correctly. Please note : The Electric Cylinder Lawnmower should not be used for cutting climbing plants or grass on roofs, due to the danger of bodily harm. 2. Safety references v Please read the notes on safety on the Electric Cylinder Lawnmower. Warning ! V Please read the operating instructions before using the mower ! Danger ! Risk of injury ! V Keep bystanders away ! Warning ! Sharp blades ! V Remove the plug from the mains socket if the cable is cut through or damaged and / or during maintenance work. 11 GB V Keep the power cable away from the cutting blades. Check each time you use the mower : Inspect the mower each time before you use it. Do not use the mower if the safety devices (Switch handle, cable strain relief, start button, blade cover) and / or the cutting mechanism are damaged or worn. Replace damaged or worn parts. Never disable safety devices. Inspect the surface on which the lawn mower is to be used beforehand. Stones, pieces of wood and wires as well as other solid matter must be removed. Objects which are contacted by the cutting tools could be thrown out uncontrollably or damage the cutting mechanism. Proper use / Responsibility Warning ! Take note that the rotating blade cylinder could cause injuries. V Never place your hands or feet on or under moving parts. The safety distance between the blade cylinder and the operator that is created by the guiding spar is to be always maintained. This electric cylinder lawnmower can cause serious injuries! You are responsible for the safety of the working area. Do not tilt the mower on its side whilst using it. Never lift or carry the mower with the motor running. Only use the flexible steerable mower for the purposes specified in these instructions. Wear sturdy shoes and long trousers to protect your legs. Make sure you always take up a safe and stable stance whilst working, especially on slopes. Always mow across the slope, never up and down. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Be particularly careful if you change direction on a slope. Be careful when going backwards. Risk of stumbling! Look out for foreign bodies when working (e. g. stones). When you interrupt work in order to go to another working area, always switch off the electric cylinder lawnmower during transport. If, despite taking precautions, you strike an object when working or the mower starts to vibrate vigorously, release the switch handle. Pull out the mains plug. Remove the blockage; check the mower for any damage and have it repaired if necessary. GB Environmental influences : Only work when visibility is good. Familiarise yourself with the surroundings of your working area. Check for possible risks which might be not audible due to the noise of the machine. Make sure that there are no other people (especially children) or animals anywhere near the working area. However, if an obstruction arises whilst working, release the starting handle, unplug the mower from the mains and remove the obstacle. Check the mower for damage and have it repaired if necessary. Do not use the electric cylinder lawnmower if it is raining or in moist, wet conditions. Please observe any local restrictions or noise levels. Electrical safety : DANGER ! Electric shock ! The electric cylinder lawnmower must only be operated with an undamaged electric cable. If the electric cable or the extension cable is damaged disconnect the mains plug immediately. The connection cable must be checked regularly for signs of damage and ageing (e.g. cracks). It is essential to use the cable strain relief on the upper part of the upright. Do not use the flexible steerable mower close to swimming pools or garden ponds. For portable units, which are used outdoors, we recommend to use a residual-current device having a residual-current rating 30 mA. In Switzerland use of a residual-current device is obligatory. Only use extension cables authorised for outdoor use. Ask your electrician. Keep the extension cable away from the area you are cutting. Interruptions of work : Never leave the cylinder mower unattended. If you interrupt your work, pull out the mains plug and store the cylinder mower in a safe place. 12 The mains voltage and the equipment voltage stated on the type plate must be the same. If extension cables are used, these must comply with the minimum cross-sections in the table below: Voltage 220 - 240V/ 50 Hz 220 - 240V/ 50 Hz Cable length Up to 50 m 50 - 100 m Crosssection 1.5 mm 2 2.5 mm 2 3.

The safety starter lock B on the crossbar 9 must then be on the left. 9. Fix the motor cable 0 to the upright with the two cable clips A. 4. Function Mowing correctly : To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the lawn one a week if possible. The lawn becomes thicker if cut frequently. Relatively long cut grass (> 1 cm) must be removed so that the lawn does not become yellow and matted. After relatively long intervals between mowing (holiday lawn), up to max. 12 cm, first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height as high as possible, then cut in the crosswise direction at the cutting height required. If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp, the cutting pattern will be uneven. 13 GB 5. Operation Connecting to power sypply : C GB D 1.
