charge the battery once it has cooled down (after about 30 minutes). Do not use the mower again until the battery is fully charged.

Important: do not allow the battery power to com- pletely run down as this may damage the battery and shorten its operational life.

MOWING TIPS

For best cutting results and to ensure that the bat- tery lasts as long as possible, the following rules should be followed:

•Drive the mower at a slow and even pace

•Try to avoid excessive starting and stopping, as this draws a lot of current.

•Make sure that the motor is running at full speed at all times when mowing.

•Mow regularly and often, especially when the grass is growing quickly. Do not mow more than a third of the total height of the grass during one mowing session.

•Always use a sharp blade.

•Do not use the mower when it is raining or when the grass is wet.

•Make sure that the underside of the cutting deck is kept clean.

MAINTENANCE

Take out the safety key and remove the battery before any type of maintenance is carried out.

CLEANING

The mower should be cleaned after each use. Use a moistened cloth or sponge and a mild soap solution. Do not clean with water or solvents. Remove all grass clippings which might have gathered on the underside of the deck and in the ejector.

The grass collector, although not the mower it- self, can be cleaned with water. Grass collection ef- ficiency is reduced if the holes are blocked.

CHANGING THE BLADE

Check, before and after each use, that the blade is tightly fixed and that it is not damaged. A bent or damaged blade should immediately be replaced. Use pro- tective gloves to avoid cutting injuries.

Blunt and/or damaged blades tear off the grass and make the lawn look ugly after mowing. New, well- sharpened blades cut off the grass and ensure that it looks green and fresh after it has been mown.

Remove the battery. Put the accompanying wrench (36 mm) on the hexagon holder. Loosen the blade nut with an adjustable wrench or another type of fixed wrench (19 mm) (fig. 10). Turn the blade nut in an anti-clockwise direction in order to remove the blade.

Fit the new blade and refit all the other parts exactly as they were before they were dismantled, see fig. 10. Tighten the blade nut fully.

SHARPENING THE BLADE

Water grinding with whetstone or a grinding stone should be used to sharpen the blade.

For safety reasons, the blade should not be sharp- ened on an emery wheel. Too high a temperature can result in the blade becoming brittle.

If the blade is sharpened, it must be bal- anced afterwards to avoid vibration

damage (fig. 11).
