Where to Use Your GARDENA Accu Cylinder Lawnmower Intended use The GARDENA Accu Cylinder Mower 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. To prevent injury, the GARDENA Accu Cylinder Lawnmower must not be used for cutting and pruning of climbers or grass on roofs. Please note 2. Safety Instructions v Please read the notes on safety on the 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 key before carrying out all maintenance work. 13 GB GARDENA Accu Rechargeable Cylinder Lawnmower 380 Li Checks before each operation : Inspect the mower each time before you use it. Do not use the accu cylinder mower if safety devices (switch handle, safety key, start button, cover for cutting mechanism) and / or the cutting cylinder are damaged or worn. Replace damaged or worn parts. Never disable safety devices. Inspect the surface on which the lawnmower is to be used beforehand. Stones, pieces of wood and wire 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. Electric security : DANGER ! This Accu Cylinder Lawnmower can cause serious injuries ! V To prevent injuries, never start the motor when the mower is tipped. Only insert the safety key for mowing. 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. Please observe the prescribed local quiet times. If you interrupt your work to move to a different working area, always switch the cylinder lawnmower off and remove the safety key. Never use the unit when it is raining or in damp or wet areas. GB Proper use / Responsibility : DANGER ! Take note that the rotating blade cylinder could cause injuries. V Never place your hands or feet on or under moving parts. Do not use the lawnmower while people, especially children or animals, are directly nearby. The operator is liable for damages. The safety distance between the blade cylinder and the operator that is created by the guiding spar is to be always maintained. When mowing embankments and slopes, special care must be taken: v Make sure you always keep a safe distance and wear shoes with a nonslip sole and long trousers. Always cut diagonally to the slope. v Do not mow on excessively steep gradients. Take special care when moving backwards and when pulling the lawnmower. Danger of stumbling ! If you should nevertheless encounter an obstacle while working, please switch the cylinder lawnmower off. Remove the safety key. Remove the obstacle; check the mower for possible damage and have it repaired if necessary. v Only work when visibility is good. Never leave the cylinder mower unattended. If you interrupt your work, remove the key and store the cylinder mower in a safe place. Guide the mower at a walking pace only. 14 Battery safety : FIRE RISK ! V Never charge the batteries near acids or easily inflammable materials. Only use the original GARDENA Battery Chargers for charging. The use of other battery chargers may damage the batteries irreparably and even cause a fire. RISK OF EXPLOSION ! V Protect Accu against heat and fire. Do not place on radiators or expose to intense sunlight for long periods. Only use the Accu Rechargeable Cylinder Lawnmower in an ambient temperature range of between 5 °C and 45 °C. The charging cable should be checked regularly for signs of damage or ageing (brittleness) and may only be used if it is in perfect condition. The charging unit supplied with the mower may only be used to charge compatible GARDENA Li-Ion batteries. Only charge battery between 5 and 45 °C. After heavy duty service allow battery to cool down first. Storage : The cylinder lawnmower and the Accu must not be stored at more than 45 °C or when exposed to direct sunlight. 3.

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. 15 GB Ideally, the Accu should be stored below 25 °C. Wherever possible, only mow dry lawns. Damp lawns may lead to uneven cutting. GB The area of lawn you can mow with one charged accu depends on the height and thickness of the lawn, i.e. the taller and thicker the lawn, the smaller the area of lawn you can mow with one fully charged Accu. With very dense grass, we recommend thatching the lawn. For example with the GARDENA Lawn Aerator art. no. 4068. 5. Initial Operation Charging the battery : Before using for the first time, the battery must be fully charged. Charging time with standard charger (for uncharged battery) approx. 6 hrs. The lithium-ion battery can be charged in any state of charge, and the charging process can be interrupted at any time without harming the battery (no memory effect). F E A F WARNING !

F onto the cylinder lawnmower until it locks in G Do not operate the cylinder lawnmower until the spindle stops again (Accu is fully discharged), as this shortens the life of the Accu. v If the cylinder lawnmower stops during operation or no longer starts (charging level display flashes red), recharge the Accu. When the Accu is fully discharged (e.g. long storage), the charging control lamp I flashes at the beginning of the charging process. If the charging control lamp is still flashing after 2 hours, there is a fault (see 9. Troubleshooting). I H 16 6. Operation RISK OF INJURY !
