LED Indicators Continuous lighting of 3 green LED Continuous lighting of 2 green LED Continuous lighting of 1 green LED Flashing of 1 green LED Battery pack Capacity ≥2/3 ≥1/3 ≤1/3 Reserve Area of Cutting (Battery pack Duration): The area of cutting (battery pack duration) depends on lawn conditions, grass density, moisture content, grass length and height of cut. Switching the machine on and off frequently during cutting will also reduce the area of cut (battery pack duration).To improve the area of cut (battery pack duration) it is recommended to cut more frequently, raise the cutting height and walk at a normal pace. Charging Recommendations: With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger will warm up to the touch. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery pack charger. A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery pack is used and must be replaced. Assembly: ● Do not connect the battery and/or the isolator key before product is completely assembled. ● Ensure the cables are not trapped when folding/ unfolding top/bottom handles. Do not drop the handle. G H 22 20 21 23 1 5 10 Adjusting the Cutting Height G: ● Stop, release switch lever and wait until the motor stops before adjusting the height. The blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched off, a rotating blade can cause injury. ● Caution – do not touch the rotating blade.
