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 TOOL 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 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. Use of any other battery 

packs may result in a risk of fire, electric 

shock, or injury to persons.

■

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 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 

will reduce 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.
