Battery tool use and care
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your nger
on the switch or energizing machine that have the
switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the machine
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machine. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use machines only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
5. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.

CONSIGNES DE
SÉCURITÉ
IMPORTANTES CONSIGNES DE
SÉCURITÉ
MISE EN GARDE : Pour réduire les risques
d’incendie, de décharge électrique et de blessure
lors de l’utilisation des tondeuses électriques,
il importe de toujours prendre des mesures de
sécurité élémentaires, dont les suivantes.
Lisez toutes les instructions.
Vous devez lire, comprendre et respecter toutes les ins-
tructions inscrites sur la tondeuse et dans les manuels
d’instructions. Avant de commencer, familiarisez-vous
bien avec les commandes et l’utilisation adéquate de la
tondeuse.
MISE EN GARDE !
Initiation
1. Cette tondeuse peut amputer des mains et des
pieds et éjecter des objets. Le non-respect des
consignes de sécurité suivantes peut entraîner
de graves blessures ou la mort.
2.
N’autorisez que des adultes responsables, qui
connaissent les instructions, à utiliser la tondeuse.
Préparatifs
1.
Tenez les enfants à distance - Tous les visiteurs
doivent être maintenus à une distance raisonnable
de la zone de travail. Soyez attentif et éteignez la
tondeuse si un enfant s’approche de la zone de travail.
Soyez particulièrement vigilant aux abords d’angles
sans visibilité, de buissons, d’arbres ou d’autres obs-
tacles qui pourraient vous empêcher de voir un enfant.
2. Portez des vêtements adéquats - Ne portez ni vête-
ments amples ni bijoux. Ils pourraient être happés par
les pièces mobiles. Le port de gants de caoutchouc et de
chaussures robustes est recommandé pour les travaux
extérieurs. Ne faites pas fonctionner la tondeuse si vous
êtes pieds nus ou si vous portez des sandales ouvertes.

19 FRANÇAIS
3. Portez des lunettes de sécurité - Si le travail
génère de la poussière, portez toujours un écran
facial ou un masque antipoussières.
4. Des objets heurtés par la lame de tondeuse
peuvent causer de graves blessures aux per-
sonnes se trouvant à proximité. La pelouse
doit toujours être examinée attentivement
et débarrassée de tout objet avant la tonte.
Restez derrière le guidon pendant que le
moteur tourne.
5. Avant de tondre, assurez-vous qu’il n’y a per-
sonne d’autre que vous dans la zone. Arrêtez
la tondeuse si quelqu’un pénètre dans la zone.
6. N’insérez pas la clé de sécurité dans la
tondeuse si celle-ci n’est pas prête pour
l’utilisation.
7. Faites attention aux trous, ornières, bosses,
cailloux ou autres obstacles cachés. Un terrain
irrégulier présente des risques de glissades et de
chutes. Des obstacles peuvent être cachés dans
les herbes hautes.
8. Avant l’utilisation, vériez toujours soigneu-
sement l’absence de ssures ou de dom-
mages sur les lames ou les boulons de lame.
Remplacez immédiatement la lame ou le bou-
lon de lame ssuré ou endommagé.
9. N’insérez pas ou ne retirez pas la clé de sécu-
rité sous la pluie.
Utilisation
1. Évitez les environnements dangereux -
N’utilisez jamais la tondeuse dans les empla-
cements humides ou mouillés. Assurez-vous
toujours d’être en position stable; saisissez ferme-
ment le guidon et marchez; ne courez jamais.
2. Évitez l’utilisation sous la pluie.
3. Utilisez le bon appareil - N’utilisez pas la ton-
deuse pour e󰀨ectuer un travail pour lequel elle n’a
pas été conçue.
4. Ne forcez pas la tondeuse - Elle e󰀨ectuera un
travail de meilleure qualité et plus sécuritaire si
elle est utilisée au régime pour lequel elle a été
conçue.
5. Ne vous étirez pas trop - Assurez-vous d’une
bonne prise au sol et d’une bonne position d’équi-
libre en tout temps. Ne tondez pas près des des-
centes abruptes, fossés et talus. Vous risqueriez
de perdre pied ou de perdre l’équilibre.
6. Restez vigilant - Soyez attentif à vos gestes.
Faites preuve de bon sens. N’utilisez pas la ton-
deuse lorsque vous êtes fatigué. N’utilisez pas la
machine si vous avez consommé de l’alcool ou
une drogue. Un moment d’inattention pendant
l’utilisation de la tondeuse peut entraîner une
grave blessure.
7. Retirez la batterie de la tondeuse à gazon -
Retirez la batterie après l’utilisation, avant de
réparer la tondeuse, de la nettoyer ou d’en retirer
un matériau, ou avant de remplacer des acces-
soires tels que les lames de tondeuse.
8. N’approchez pas les mains et les pieds de la
zone de coupe. Tenez-vous éloigné de l’ouver-
ture de décharge en tout temps.
9. Si la tondeuse heurte un corps étranger, sui-
vez ces étapes :
• Arrêtez la tondeuse. Relâchez l’interrupteur.
Attendez l’arrêt complet de la lame.

avant de la redémarrer et de l’utiliser.
Remplacez la lame si elle est endommagée.
10. Assurez-vous que les matériaux projetés ne le
soient jamais en direction de qui que ce soit.
Évitez de projeter les matériaux contre un mur
ou un obstacle. Ces matériaux pourraient rico-
cher vers l’utilisateur. Arrêtez la lame lorsque vous
traversez une surface de gravier.
11. Ne tirez pas la tondeuse vers l’arrière, à moins
que cela ne soit absolument nécessaire. Si
vous devez tirer la tondeuse vers l’arrière pour
éviter une clôture ou autre obstacle similaire,
regardez en bas et derrière avant et pendant la
marche arrière.
12. Relâchez le levier d’interrupteur et attendez
que la lame cesse de tourner avant de traver-
ser une voie d’accès pour autos, une allée,
une route ou toute surface couverte de gravier.
Retirez également la clé de sécurité si vous vous
en éloignez, si vous vous étirez pour ramasser ou
enlever quelque chose de votre passage, ou pour
toute autre raison qui pourrait détourner votre
attention.
13. N’utilisez pas la machine sans que le bac de
ramassage, la protection d’évacuation, la pro-
tection arrière et les autres dispositifs de sécu-
rité ne soient installés et en fonctionnement.
14. Arrêtez le moteur et retirez la clé de sécurité
chaque fois que vous vous éloignez de l’équi-
pement, avant de nettoyer la tondeuse ou de
déboucher le déecteur et de faire des répara-
tions ou inspections.
15. Éteignez le moteur et attendez l’arrêt com-
plet de la lame avant de retirer le bac de
ramassage. Soyez conscient du fait que la lame
continue de tourner en roue libre après l’arrêt du
moteur.
16. Ne tondez qu’à la lumière du jour ou avec une
bonne lumière articielle.
17. Si la tondeuse se met à vibrer anormalement
(vériez immédiatement)
- vériez l’absence de dommages,
- remplacez ou réparez toute pièce
endommagée,
- s’il y a des pièces mal serrées, resserrez-les.
18. Lorsque vous prenez ou tenez l’appareil, ne le
faites pas par les lames nues ou par les bords
tranchants.
19. Si la tondeuse est dotée d’une fonction de
réglage de la hauteur de coupe, n’essayez
jamais d’ajuster la hauteur de coupe pendant
que la tondeuse tourne.
20. Tondez les pentes dans le sens transversal,
jamais en montant ou en descendant. Soyez
particulièrement prudent lors des change-
ments de direction sur les terrains en pente.
Ne tondez pas sur des pentes excessivement
raides. Une position instable présente des risques
de glissades et de chutes.

20 FRANÇAIS
21.
Évitez d’utiliser la tondeuse sur de l’herbe mouillée.

Utilisation et entretien de l’outil à batterie
1. Prévenez le démarrage accidentel. Assurez-
vous que l’interrupteur est en position d’arrêt
avant de connecter la machine à la batterie,
de la saisir ou de la transporter. Transporter
la machine avec le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou la
mettre sous tension alors que son interrupteur
est en position de marche ouvre la porte aux
accidents.
2. Retirez la batterie de la machine avant de pro-
céder à des réglages, au remplacement d’ac-
cessoires ou au rangement de la machine. De
telles mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent
le risque de démarrage accidentel de la machine.
3. Ne la rechargez qu’avec le chargeur spécié
par le fabricant. Un chargeur conçu pour un
certain type de batterie risque de déclencher un
incendie s’il est utilisé avec une autre batterie.
4. N’utilisez les machines qu’avec leurs batteries
spéciques. Les autres batteries risqueraient de
vous blesser ou de provoquer un incendie.
