heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy
or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its
components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals
with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may
result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with
these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.

NOTE: Only a locked padlock with the key stored in an-
other location can prevent unauthorized use of the grass
