• Use the tool only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs will
increase the risk of injury and re.
• Only operate the product in daylight or in good
articial light.
• Do not expose the tool and charger to rain or
wet conditions. If a tool or charger is exposed to
moisture it will increase the risk of electric shock.

down.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
product towards you.
• Stop the blades if the product has to be tilted for
transportation, when crossing surfaces other than
grass, and when transporting the product to and
from the area to be mowed.

6
• Never operate the product with defective guards
or shields or without safety devices in place, such
as deectors or grass collector.
• When switching on the motor, keep feet well away
from the blades.

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. Do not use the original charger
on other li-ion batteries or on any other type of
battery, as this can increase the risk of re or
explosion.
• Check the battery charger, cable and plug
before each use. Do not use the battery charger
if damaged. Do not open the battery charger
yourself; the charger must be repaired by qualied
personnel using original spare parts.

8
• The charger is designed to use a standard
household 230-240 V~ 50/60HZ power source;
ensure that the plug matches the outlet.
• Never modify the plug in any way, this will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Make sure the charger cord is situated so that
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or get
damaged.
• Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination
can increase the risk of electric shock.
• The charger is for indoor use only, do not expose
to rain. Protect the battery charger from rain and
moisture. If water accesses the battery charger
there is an increased risk of electric shock.

the risk of re, do not operate the battery charger
on ammable surfaces, such as paper or textiles.
• The temperature range over which the battery
pack can be charged is typically between 5ºC-45ºC.
Attempts to charge outside of the prescribed
temperature range may automatically be blocked
by the protection circuitry of the battery pack.
Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged at room
temperature.

9
• Disconnect the charger from the power supply
when not in use. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock or damage to the charger.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly

• Do not short out the contacts of the battery or
charger.
• Respect the polarity “+/-“ when charging.
• Do not open the unit and keep out of the reach of
children.
• Do not charge the batteries of other manufactures
or ill-suited models.
• Ensure that the connection between the battery
charger and battery is correctly positioned and is
not obstructed by foreign bodies.
• Keep battery charger’s slots are free of foreign
objects and protect against dirt and humidity.
Store in a dry and frost-free place.
• When charging batteries, ensure that the battery
charger is in a well-ventilated area and away from
inammable materials. Batteries can get hot
during charging. Do not overcharge any batteries.
Ensure that batteries and chargers are not left
unsupervised during charging.

allowed to cool before putting it into the charging
station.
• To reduce the risk of explosion, ensure the battery
pack is not left in the sun for extended periods of
time and that it is kept away from re.
• Do not carry individual battery packs in your
pockets or bag, as they could short circuit against
other metal items.
• Should a li-ion battery catch re, be sure to use
the correct re extinguisher to combat the re.
