hazardous situations. Keep all the instructions together
in a safe place for future reference.
■
Remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments, cleaning, or removing material from the
product.
■
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.
LAWN MOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Before using, always visually inspect to ensure blades,
blade bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Check the product before each use and
frequently during operation.
■
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
preserve balance.
■
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
■
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear, holes,
or deterioration. This can cause objects to be thrown
towards the operator.
■
Replace worn or damaged parts before operating the
product.
■
Never operate the mower if the power lever, when
2
released, does not stop the engine.
■
Do not operate the product without the entire grass
catcher or the guard of the self-closing discharge
opening in place.
■
Do not use the product when there is a risk of lightning.
■
Do not force the product. It will do the job better and
safer at the speed for which it was designed.
■
Do not overload the product. Mowing long, thick grass
may cause the motor speed to drop or the power to cut
out. When mowing in long thick grass, a first cut with
the cutting height set high will help reduce the load. See
Adjusting the Blade Height.
■
Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
■
Do not pull the product backward unless absolutely
necessary. If you must back the product away from a
wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid
tripping or pulling the product over your feet.
■
Stop the blade(s) if the machine has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces other than
grass, and when transporting the machine to and from
the area to be mowed.
■
Never operate the product with defective guards
or shields, or without safety devices, for example,
deflectors or grass collector, or both, in place.
■
Carefully start the engine according to instructions and
keep hands and feet away from the cutting area. Keep
clear of the discharge opening at all times.
■
Never pick up or carry the product while the engine is
running.
■
Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a
slip-and-fall accident.
■
When not in use, mower should be stored in a well-
ventilated, dry, locked up place, out of the reach of
children.
■
Follow manufacturer's instructions for proper operation
and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
■
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
■
Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine.
■
Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the engine or
while the engine is running. This exposes the blade and
increases the probability of objects being thrown.
■
Do not start the engine when standing in front of the
discharge chute.
■
Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, wait
until the blade comes to a complete stop, and allow the
product to cool down for the following cases:
●
whenever you leave the product unattended
●
before cleaning a blockage or unclogging the chute
●
before checking, cleaning, or working on the
product
