Functional description

This Robomower is an autonomous robot used to cut lawn grass. It will remain within an area

designated by a boundary wire, start work following a programmed schedule, and return to its

charging station as needed. The three sharp blades ensure clean cuts with minimal damage

to the plant, leaving behind tiny snippets as natural fertilizer.

Measured sound power level

Measured sound pressure 46.6 dB(A) , K=3.0 dB(A)

Guaranteed sound power level LWA= 67 dB(A) (K=0.35 dB(A))

The sound values have been determined according to noise test code given in EN 50636-2-

107, using the basic standards EN ISO 11203 :2009 and EN ISO 3744:2010.

The noise gures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels.

Factors that inuence the actual level of exposure of work-force include the characteristics

of the work room, the other sources of noise, i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent

processes and the length of time for which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the

permissible exposure level can vary from country. This information, however, will enable the

user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

*Note 1: The recommended time per day stated in this specication is just for reference. It

depends on the condition of blades, the type of the grass being cut, the growth condition,

humidity, and whether lawn area is at. A more complex lawn with trees, ower beds,

paths and slopes may require a longer work time.

hazards occurring to other people or their property.

• Ensure the correct installation of the perimeter

boundary system as instructed.

• Periodically inspect the area where the machine

is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,

and other debris which could cause damage to the

machine or be unsafe.

• Periodically visually inspect to see that the blades,

blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts

in sets to preserve balance.

• On multi-spindle machines, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

• Never leave the machine to operate unattended,

especially while other people such as children and

pets are in the area.

• Never use the machine to level out uneven patches.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

16 17

• If the blades no longer cut correctly or if the motor is

overloaded, check all the parts of your equipment and

replace the worn parts. If a more extensive repair is

required, contact the customer service centre.

Use:

• Never operate the machine with defective guards or

without safety devices, for example deectors and/or

grass catchers, in place.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

• Never pick up or carry the machine while the motor is

running.

• Turn OFF / Power OFF the machine

– before clearing any blockages.

– before checking, cleaning or maintaining the

machine.

• Start Robomower according to the instructions.When

the main power switch (11) is in the ON position, make

sure you keep your hands and feet away from the

rotating blades.

• Never lift the Robomower or carry it around with the

mains switch is in the ON position.

• Do not let persons use the mower who do not know

how it works or behaves.

• Do not put anything on top of the Robomower or its

charging station.

• Do not use the Robomower with defective blade discs,

body, defective blades, screws, nuts etc.

• Avoid operating the machine in wet grass. Doing so

can cause additional wear and tear, and will increase

the amount of cleaning required.

Work interruptions:

• After the machine has been turned off, the cutting

cylinder will continue to rotate for a few seconds.

Keep hands and feet well away.

• Only remove blockages when the machine is standing

completely still. Ensure that the grass ejector opening

(if any) is clean.

• Switch off the power when the machine is transported,

lifted or tilted.

• Never leave the machine unattended. Children should

be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

CAUTION!

The following below outlines measures to avoid

damage and harm to both the Robomower and

people using it.

Taking care of your machine:

• Switch off the power when the machine is to be

carried across uneven surfaces, for example steps.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

18 19

• Inspect the machine before each use. Never operate

the machine if safety devices (e.g. impact protector,

parts of the cutting facility or bolts) are missing, worn

out or damaged. Check the power cable and starting

lever (if any) for damage. To avoid imbalance, all tools

and bolts must be changed as complete sets.

• Only use spare parts and accessories that have been

supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The

use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of all

guarantee claims.

• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are rmly

tightened and that the machine is in a safe working

condition.

• Never try to repair the machine yourself, unless you

have been trained accordingly. All work that has not

been listed in these instructions must only be carried

out by authorised servicing agencies.

• Treat the machine with the greatest care. Always keep

the tool clean. Follow the maintenance instructions.

• Never overload the machine. Always work within

the specied capacity range. Do not use low-power

machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the

machine for purposes for which it is not intended.

Electrical safety:

CAUTION!

The following states how to avoid accidents and

injuries due to electric shock:

• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of the

power and extension cord for any signs of damage or

ageing. Damaged mains power cables increase the

risk of electric shock.

• Connect the machine to a power socket with a

residual-current circuit breaker that has a rated current

of no more than 30 mA.

• Always keep the extension cable well away from

the cutting tools. Should the power cable become

damaged during work, instantly disconnect the power

cable from the mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER

CABLE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED

FROM THE MAINS! Risk of electric shock.

• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is

damaged the appliance should be scrapped.

• Keep extension cable away from blades and other

moving parts. They may damage the cable and result

in contact with live parts.

• Check that the mains voltage is the same as indicated

on the rating plate.

Maintenance and storage

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the

machine is in a safe working condition.

• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

• Ensure that only the recommended replacement

cutting blades are tted.
