Stop the blades if the machine has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces other than
grass and when transporting the machine to and from
the area to be mowed.
Do not tilt the machine when starting or switching on
the motor, except if the machine has to be tilted for
starting in long grass. In this case, do not tilt it more
than absolutely
necessary and tilt only the part which is away from the
operator. Always ensure that both hands are in the
operating position before returning the machine to the
ground.
Switch on the motor according to the instructions
with feet well away from rotating parts.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
Always stand clear of the discharge zone when
operating the machine.
Never pick up or carry the machine while the motor
is running.
Do not modify this product. Unauthorized
modifications may impair the safety of your product
and may result in increased noise and vibration.
Regularly inspect the supply cable and any
extension cables. Do not connect damaged cables to
the supply or touch a damaged cable before it is
disconnected from the
supply. A damaged cable can lead to contact with live
parts. Beware electric shock hazard.
Remove the isolator key:
– whenever you leave the machine,
– before clearing a blockage,
– before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine,
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine
for damage and make repairs as necessary,
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check
immediately).
Maintenance
Always wear gardening gloves when handling or
working near the sharp blades.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that
the machine is in safe working condition.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
Examine the machine and replace worn or
damaged parts for safety.
Ensure replacement cutting means of the right type
are used.
Ensure replacement parts fitted are ELEM
GARDEN TECHNIC approved.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture.
Penetration of water in the battery charger increases
the risk of an electric shock.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger
is suitable only for charging ELEM GARDEN
TECHNIC lithium ion batteries with-
in the listed voltage range. Otherwise there is danger
of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can
lead
to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable
and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the
battery charger. Never open the battery charger
yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician
and only using original spare parts. Damaged battery
chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily
inflammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or
surroundings. The heating of the battery charger
during the charging process can pose a fire hazard.
Use only ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC battery packs
intended specifically for the machine. Use of any other
battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
