TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or
tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE

Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and
may void your warranty.
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Have the product serviced by an authorised
service centre only.
You may make adjustments and repairs described in this
manual. For other repairs, have the product serviced by
an authorised service centre only.
Turn off the product, and remove the safety key and the
battery pack. Make sure that all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before any cleaning or maintenance
task.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to ensure that the product is in safe
working condition.
After each use, clean the plastic parts with a soft, dry
cloth. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
Replace damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve
