IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■ Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
■ Do not place battery powered lawn mowers or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the
risk of explosion and possibly injury.
■ Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
■ Do not dispose of battery packs in fire. They will explode or leak and cause injury. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage the 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.
■ 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.
■ When the 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 terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or lawn mower to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
■ Do not modify or attempt to repair the lawn mower or the battery pack (as applicable) except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
■ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or lawn mower outside of
the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
■ All tool services should be performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
BATTERY CHARGER

■ To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the specified lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Other types
of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
■ Keep cord and charger away from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
■ Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock.
If damaged, immediately discontinue use. Replace the charger with the identical unit as listed in the
Parts List of this manual.
■ Do not use a charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow.
■ Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified service center for check or replacement. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
■ Do not abuse the charger cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging.
■ Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock. If the charger cord is damaged, replace the charger with an identical
model as listed in this manual.
