PRO-21 Battery Lawn Mower
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the mowing activity.
Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these
precautions:
•
Keep children and pets at least 100 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.
•
Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.
•
Never allow children to operate the Mower.
•
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child or pet.
•
Always charge the Battery Pack indoors, never charge it the rain or in wet conditions.
•
Use only the DR
