READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS 40V MAX* LAWN MOWER
WARNING! Only use the charger supplied with this kit to charge the 20V
Li-ion batteries for this tool. Charging any other batteries may damage the charger
and possibly cause serious injury.
BATTERY PACK & CHARGER SAFETY
Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent entrapment of the
fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the product.
Allow the product to cool before storing in any enclosure.
When servicing the blades be aware that, even though the power source is
switched off, the blades can still be moved.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only genuine replacement
parts and accessories.
Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the cutting
device.

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. Incorrect use may result in electric shock,
overheating or leakage of corrosive liquid from the battery.
Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when
changing accessories. To reduce risk, remove the safety key and battery pack
from the machine while not in operation. This will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire or serious personal injury.
Do not place appliances or their batteries near fire or heat. Continuous
intense sunlight, fire or other heat sources may cause an increased danger of
explosion.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or
charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery
is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery
immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of an open flame. An exploded battery can propel
debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock.

Longer life and better performance can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is between 75˚F /24˚C and 64˚F/18 ˚C. Do
not charge the battery pack in air temperature below 41˚F / 5˚C or above
105˚F / 40.5˚C. This is important as it can prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur.
If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and
water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least
10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
Do not disassemble the battery and avoid mechanical damage to the battery.
Risk of short circuit and fumes may be emitted. Ensure fresh air and seek
medical assistance in the event of discomfort.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts,
making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack
will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery
becomes fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and
remove the battery pack from the charger.
Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a dry
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solvents to clean battery pack.
Keep the battery pack out of the reach of children.

The plug of the charger must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Ensure the battery pack is charged indoors only, in a dry, cool and well
ventilated environment.
Do not subject the battery to strong sunlight over long periods and do not
leave it near a heat source. Heat damages the battery and there is a risk of
explosion.
Allow a hot battery to cool before charging.
Do not use non-rechargeable batteries!

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS 40V MAX* LAWN MOWER
Avoid mechanical damage to the charger. This can result in internal short
circuits.
Do not operate the charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e.g. paper,
textiles, etc.). The heating of the battery charger during the charging process
could pose a fire hazard.
Do not abuse the cord of the charger. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the charger.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause
shorting and electric shock. If damaged, immediately discontinue use.
Replace the charger with the identical unit as listed in the Product
Specifications in this manual. If the power cord for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or qualified person in order to prevent hazards.
Do not use a charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow.
The voltage indicated on the charger rating plate must correspond to the
voltage of the power source.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
The battery of the appliance is not fully charged at the time of delivery. It
therefore needs to be fully recharged before you use it for the first time. For
the first recharge cycle, charge the battery pack fully. Slot the battery into
the base and plug the battery charger into an outlet.
It is good practice to unplug the charger and remove the lithium-ion battery
pack when not in use.
This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the charger by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
charger.

Do not attempt to charge battery packs other than those supplied. The
charger and battery pack supplied with it are specifically designed to work
together.
Before each use, check the charger, cable and plug. Do not use a defective
charger and do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect reassembly may result
in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Protect the charger against moisture and wet conditions. There is a danger of
electric shock.
Operate the charger only with the appropriate original batteries.
Charging other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.
