Original Instructions

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

 

Read, understand, and always follow 

the safety instructions which came with 

your battery and charger. Failure to do 

so may result in electric shock, fire or 

other hazardous situations. Keep all the 

instructions together in a safe place for 

future reference.

 

Battery-operated products do not have to be 

plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, 

they are always in operating condition. 

Remove the isolator key whenever you are 

not operating the product.

 

Remove the battery pack before making 

any adjustments, cleaning, or removing 

material from the product.

 

Ensure the isolator key is removed before 

inserting battery pack.

 

A battery pack must be recharged only with 

the charger specified by the manufacturer. 

Using a charger with an incompatible 

battery pack may create a risk of fire. Use 

battery pack only with charger listed.

 

Use only battery pack intended specifically 

for the product. Use of any other battery 

packs may result in a risk of fire, electric 

shock, or injury to persons.

 

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 pack terminals together may cause 

sparks, burns, fire or explosion.

 

Do not place battery products or their 

batteries near fire or heat. This increases 

the risk of explosion and possibly injury.

 

Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. 

Released electrolyte is corrosive and may 

cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be 

toxic if swallowed.

 

Protect the battery pack against moisture 

and water. Do not charge the product in a 

damp or wet location. Following this rule will 

reduce the risk of electric shock.

 

In case of damage and improper use of the 

battery, vapour may be emitted. Provide 

for fresh air and seek medical help in case 

of complaints. The vapour can irritate the 

respiratory system.

 

Do not leave the battery pack inside a 

vehicle in hot or cold conditions.

 

Do not incinerate the battery.

 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. 

If contact accidentally occurs, flush with 

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally 

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

LAWNMOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Before use, always visually inspect the 

product to ensure that blades, blade bolts, 

and cutter assembly are not worn or 

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades 

and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

 

Bring the product to an authorised service 

centre to replace damaged or unreadable 

labels.

 

Do not pull the product backwards unless 

absolutely necessary. If you must back the 

product away from a wall or obstruction, first 

look down and behind to avoid tripping or 

pulling the product over your feet.

 

Turn off the product and allow the blade 

to stop if the product has to be tilted for 

transportation, when crossing surfaces 

other than grass, and when transporting the 

product to and from the work area.

 

Never use the product with defective guards 

or shields, or without safety devices, such 

as deflectors and grass catchers, in place.

 

Do not tilt the product when turning on 

the motor or while the motor is running. If 

absolutely necessary, you may raise the 

front of the lawnmower by no more than 5 

cm to enable easier starting. Press down on 

the handlebar to achieve this. Always return 

the lawnmower to its normal position with all 

wheels on the ground before cutting. Tilting 

the lawnmower exposes the blade and 

increases the probability of objects being 

thrown and accidentally making contact 

with the blade.

 

Do not start the product when standing in 

front of the grass discharge opening.

 

The product must be started with the user 

behind the handlebars in the operator safety 

zone. Never start the product if:

 

The grass discharge chute is exposed 

and is not protected by the grass catcher 

and grass discharge chute cover.

 

Hands and feet of all persons are not 

clear of the cutting enclosure.

 

Turn on the product carefully according to 

instructions, and keep hands and feet away 

from the blades. Do not put hands or feet
