5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting the Lawnmower

1. Ensure batteries are fully charged and correctly installed.
2. Insert the safety key into its slot.
3. Press and hold the safety button, then pull the switch lever towards the handle. The motor will start.
4. Release the safety button once the motor is running.

5.2 Mowing Techniques

For best results, mow in straight, overlapping lines. Avoid mowing wet grass, as it can clog the mower and lead to an uneven cut. For very tall grass, it is advisable to make two passes, setting the cutting height higher for the first pass and then lower for the second.
