Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating the product. Do not operate the product while tired, ill,
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A lapse in
concentration while operating the product may result in serious
personal injury.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Never use the product while people, especially children, or pets are
within 15 m because of the danger of objects being thrown by contact
with the blade.
Always use the product in daylight or with good artificial light.
Do not operate the product on wet grass or in the rain.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
Objects struck by the lawnmower blade can cause severe injuries to
persons. Thoroughly inspect the area where the product is to be used,
and remove all rocks, sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys, or other foreign
objects. Remember, string or wire may entangle with the cutting
means.
Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product creates
sparks, which may ignite dust or fumes.
Do not use the product when there is a risk of lightning.
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.
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
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 power tools only with specifically designated 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, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack
or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Before use, always visually inspect the product to ensure that blades,
blade bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve
balance.

Turn off the product and allow the blade to stop if the product has to
be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the product to and from the work area.
Never use the product with defective guards or shields, or without
safety devices, such as deflectors and grass catchers, in place.

motor is running. If absolutely necessary, you may raise the front of
the product by no more than 5 cm to enable easier starting. Press
down on the handlebar to achieve this. Always return the product
to its normal position with all wheels on the ground before cutting.
Tilting the product exposes the blade and increases the probability of
objects being thrown and accidentally making contact with the blade.

pack.

hands and feet away from the blades. Do not put hands or feet near

make repairs as necessary before restarting and operating the
product
■ if the product starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately)
– inspect for damage, particularly the blades
– replace or repair any damaged parts

The cutting blade should rotate approximately parallel to the ground
over which it is being wheeled.
The blade on the product is sharp. Use extreme caution, and wear
heavy-duty gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning, or checking bolt
security.
Frequently check the grass catcher for wear, holes, or deterioration.
