8. Check the blade mounting bolt at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
9. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to
be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
10. Never remove or tamper with safety devices.
Check their proper operation regularly. Never
do anything to interfere with the intended
function of a safety device or to reduce the
protection provided by a safety device.
11. Be careful during adjustment of the mower
to prevent entrapment of the fingers between
moving blades and fixed parts of the mower.
12. Always allow the mower to cool down before
storing.
13. When servicing the blades be aware that, even
though the power source is switched off, the
blades can still be moved.
14. Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.
15. Do not leave the machine unattended outdoors
in the rain.
16. When storing the machine, avoid direct sun-
light and rain, and store it in a place where it
does not get hot or humid.
Battery tool use and care
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
1.
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your finger
on the switch or energizing machine that have the
switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the machine
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machine. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use machines only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
5. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the machine
11.
or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
Electrical and battery safety
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
1.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
3. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
4. Do not charge the battery outdoors.
5. Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
and charger terminals with wet hands.
6. Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in wet
locations.
When replacing batteries, all batteries should
7.
be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture the discharged battery.
8. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not
to short the battery with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery
or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
9. Do not replace the battery in the rain.
10. Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal gets wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
11. After removing the battery from the machine or
charger, be sure to attach the battery cover to
the battery and store it in a dry place.
12. Do not replace the battery with wet hands.
13. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
machine in dump or wet locations or expose it
to rain. Water entering the machine will increase
the risk of electric shock.
14. If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
