precautions should be observed, including the
following, to reduce the risk of the fire, electrical
shock or injury:
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the mower.

10. Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used, and
move any object which may jam or be thrown by the machine.
11. Always be sure of your footing on slopes, do NOT mow excessively
steep slopes.
12. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
13. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
14. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the unit towards you.
15. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times.
16. Never pick up or carry the mower while the motor is running.
17. Stop the blade if the mower has to be tilted for transportation when
crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the mower
to and from the area to be mowed.
18. Never operate the mower with defective guards, or without safety
devices, for example deflectors.
19. Switch on the motor according to instruction and with feet well away
from the blade.
20. Keep the mower on a flat, even surface when switching on.
21. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightened to ensure the equipment is
in safe working condition.
22. Be careful when adjusting height, ensure that the battery is removed
and keep fingers away from all moving parts.
23. Do not handle charger or unit with wet hands.
24. Use only as described in this manual.
25.
DO NOT
attempt to use the charger with any other product nor
attempt to charge this product with another charger.
26.
DO NOT
abuse the charger cord; never carry the charger by the cord
or pull cord to disconnect from an outlet, grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
27. Keep charger cord away from hot surfaces.
28. This product includes lead acid (Pb) batteries; do not incinerate
batteries or expose to high temperatures, as they may explode.
29. Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the
liquid gets on the skin wash immediately with soap and water. If the
liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
30. Keep hair, clothing, fingers and all parts of body clear of moving
parts.
31. Dress properly! Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which can be
caught by moving parts. Use of non-slip footwear is recommended.

you are qualified to do so.

use any power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
35. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your fingers on the
switches or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
