43. Battery tool use and care
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the machine. Carrying the
machine with your finger on the switch or
energizing machine that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the
machine before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing machine.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the machine accidentally.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
• Use machines only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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 burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medi-
cal help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or machine
•
that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or machine
to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or machine
outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside of the
specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
Have servicing performed by a quali-
•
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the product is maintained.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the
•
machine or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and
care.
• Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in
wet locations.
When replacing batteries, all batteries
•
should be replaced at the same time.
Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could
increase internal cell pressure and rupture
the discharged battery.
• Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in
a fire. The cell may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
• Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
44. Do not use the machine when there is a risk of
lightning.
45. When you use the machine on muddy ground,
wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to
your footing.
46. Avoid working in poor environment where
increased user fatigue is expected.
47. Do not use the machine in bad weather where
visibility is limited. Failure to do so may cause
fall or incorrect operation due to low visibility.
48. Do not replace the battery in the rain.
49. Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.
50. Do not leave the machine unattended outdoors
in the rain.
51. Do not insert or remove the lock key in the
rain.
52. When wet leaves or dirt adhere to the suc-
tion mouth (ventilation window) due to rain,
remove them.
53. Do not wash the machine with high pressure
water.
54. When washing the machine, be sure to remove
the battery and lock key and close the battery
cover, and pour water toward the bottom of the
machine to which the blade is attached.
55. When storing the machine, avoid direct sun-
light and rain, and store it in a place where it
does not get hot or humid.
56. Perform inspection or maintenance in a place
where rain can be avoided.
57. After using the machine, remove the adhered
dirt and dry the machine completely before
storing. Depending on the season or the area,
there is a risk of malfunction due to freezing.
58. Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal get wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
59. After removing the battery from the machine or
charger, be sure to attach the battery cover to
the battery and store it in a dry place.
60. Do not replace the battery with wet hands.
61. Do not use the machine in the snow.
62. If the cut-off grass is wet, it is likely to be
clogged inside of the machine. Check the con-
dition of the machine regularly, and remove the
adhered grass as necessary.
