SAFETY INFORMATION
BATTERY & CHARGER
C A U T I O N
Use only Greenworks approved replacement batteries, as other batteries may cause injury or damage to
the mower. Only to be used with Greenworks 82V Batteries.
BATTERY SAFETY RULES
• Battery-operated mowers and tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery-
operated mower or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
•
Do not place battery-operated machines or tools -- or the batteries themselves -- near fire or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, like a pilot light. To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of an open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately. Do not
charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery-operated machine should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more than 0°C (32° F) but less than 45°C (113° F). To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If this liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• 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 terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
•
Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting battery to/from the charging port. Always wear safety glasses and
protective clothing/gear. Use insulated tools.
• Sparks can cause a battery gas explosion, which will result in serious personal injury. Prevent the
battery terminals from touching any metal mower parts when removing or installing the battery. Do
not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal mower parts. Use insulated
tools. Always keep protective battery cover and rear cover in place.
•
Follow first aid directions for contact with battery fluid. Get medical attention immediately.
• Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to the mower and battery cables. This can cause
sparks, which can cause a battery gas explosion that will result in serious personal injury.
