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.
