To obtain the best life from the battery
1. Never allow the battery to completely discharge before recharging. The battery pack
should be placed on the charger whenever the battery pack is noticeably running down
or the tool no longer performs a task it previously performed.
2. Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is fully charged each time by
allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle.
3. Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery packs as
these or similar items can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion
4. Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry and secure place.
5. Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 5°C and above 45°C.

Operating the lawnmower
Operation on a slope:
Slopes increase the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Always be
sure of your footing on slopes. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy
on a slope, do not mow it.
Do:
- Mow across the face of slopes, never mow up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes.
- Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects or bumps which could cause you to slip or
trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do not:
- Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or
balance.
- Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
- Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause you to slip.
Mower overload protection
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to cut too much grass at one time. Slow down your
cutting pace or raise the cut height. Your mower has built-in overload circuit protection. When
