■ Do not use the product when there is a risk
of lightning.
■ Keep in mind that the operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
■ Tragic accidents can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the product
and the mowing activity. Never assume
that children will remain where you last saw
them.
■ Keep children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of a responsible
adult other than the operator, be alert and
turn the product off if a child enters the
area.
■ Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
including overhanging shrubs, which may
block your view.
BATTERY TOOLS USE AND CARE
■ Read, understand, and always follow
the safety instructions that 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 that the isolator key is removed
before inserting the 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. The use of any other
battery packs may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
■ 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 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
reduces 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.
