IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips,
coins, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool
when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, or when not in
use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
• Always remove battery pack before storing
the device. When battery becomes fully
charged, unplug the charger from the power
supply and remove the battery pack from the
charger.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure
to do so could result in objects being thrown
into your eyes and other possible serious
injuries.
• Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
solvents to clean battery pack.
PROPER CARE FOR BATTERY
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we
suggest the following:
• Remove the battery pack from the charger
once it is fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature
is below 80°F and away from moisture.
• Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged
condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack
as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
• DO NOT ABUSE THE CHARGE CORD.
Never carry the charger by the cord. Do not
disconnect the charger from the outlet or
from the mower by pulling the charger cord.
• Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the
charger cords or the charger immediately.
• Keep the mower and the charger away from
water, heat sources (radiators, heaters,
stoves, etc.), flames, and chemicals.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the
charger before beginning operation.
• The battery pack will become slightly warm
to the touch while charging. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack
in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will
work best at normal room temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged,
unplug the charger from the power supply
and remove the battery pack.
When transporting or
servicing unit, always remove the battery.
WARNING!
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING!
