SAFETY INFORMATION
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years of age
and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this manual,
and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the mower off if a child or any other person enters the mowing area.
• Look behind and down for small children before and while moving backwards.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that
may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the mower.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of damage and danger, never clean the tool with pressure washer or under running
water.
• Store indoors only. Always remove the battery from mower and charger when cleaning or storing the
tool.
BATTERY & CHARGER
CAUTION
Use only Kobalt approved replacement batteries. Other batteries may cause injury or damage to the
mower. For use only with Kobalt KB 280-06/KB 2580-06 battery and KRC 30-06/KRC 06-06 charger.
BATTERY SAFETY RULES
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in op-
erating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when chang-
ing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion
•
and possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of
a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately. Do
not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more
than 42.8°F (6ºC) but less than 104°F (40ºC). To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not
store outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
