Intended Use
Carefully follow the instructions below to assemble your
iON cordless lawn mower.
The equipment may only be used for the tasks it is designed
to handle. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
The user/operator, not the manufacturer, will be liable for any
damage or injuries of any kind resulting from such misuse of
the mower.
The lawn mower is intended for private residential use (i.e. for
use in home and gardening environments). Private use of the
lawn mower refers to an annual operating time generally not
exceeding 50 hours, during which the machine is primarily
used to maintain small-scale, residential lawns and home/
hobby gardens. Public facilities, sporting halls and agricultural/
forestry applications are excluded. Please note that this
equipment has not been designed for commercial, trade
or industrial applications. The warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses
or for equivalent purposes.
Keep these instructions and refer to them prior to each
mowing session in order to ensure that the lawn mower
is properly used and maintained. The instructions contain
valuable information on operating, maintenance and servicing.
IMPORTANT! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to the user,
the lawn mower may not be used to trim bushes, hedges or
shrubs, to cut scaling vegetation, planted roofs, or balcony-
grown grass, to clean (suck up) dirt and debris off walkways,
or to chop up tree or hedge clippings. Moreover, the lawn
mower may not be used as a power cultivator to level out high
areas such as molehills.
For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used as a
drive unit for other work tools or toolkits of any kind.
Reduce noise generation and keep
vibration to a minimum!
• Use only equipment that is in perfect condition.
• Maintain and clean the equipment regularly.
• Adjust your work rate to the equipment's performance.
• Do not overload the equipment.
• Have the equipment checked if necessary.
• Switch off the equipment when not in use.
• Wear gloves.
Assembly
Fitting the Upper and Lower Handles

unfolded and adjusted to the required height. To do so,
loosen the upper handle knobs and unfold the upper
handle. Then secure the upper handle again with the
handle knobs on each side (Fig. 1).
