General battery mower safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this
battery mower. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
e term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
b) Do not expose charger to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a charger will increase the risk of
electric shock.
c) It is recommended to operate a charger using a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o-position before connecting to a
power source and/or battery pack. Energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key le attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. is enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. e correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

5WG/WB81EC-B/FEB20/V1.1
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and remove the key from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paperclips,
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 re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek additional medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk o re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. is will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.

Mowing tips
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce the
cutting eort and to keep from over loading the motor and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be
necessary to reduce ground speed and /or run the lawn mower over the area a second time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping the previously cut path and mow
slowly.

19WG/WB81EC-B/FEB20/V1.1
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become lled with dirt and dust with use reducing eciency.
To prevent this, regularly hose the catcher o with water and let it dry before using.
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP
GRASS AND TRASH. SEE ”CLEANING” IN THE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING SECTION OF THIS
MANUAL.
Discharging grass clippings
• When the grass catcher is full of grass clippings, a
special sensor will detect and alert the operator. A
seated operator can open the grass catcher to discharge
the grass clippings.
• Pull out the Discharging Handle A on the right
side of catcher B, and then push Handle A to the front
to open the catcher. e grass clippings will fall
down automatically from catcher B.
• Keep the catcher B open and move the unit
forward for about 1 metre to empty all the
clippings.
• Move the Handle A backwards to close the catcher and re-insert the handle.
Mulching
Mulching plug installation Fig. 14
• e unit can be changed to a mulching mower by installing a special mulching plug A.
• Open and remove the catcher using the two handles on the grass catcher.
• Insert the mulching plug A into the discharging opening until it stops on the bottom of
discharging chute B.
• Stretch the free ends of the 2 springs C attached on the handle, until they catch the
hooks D on the rear panel.
• Align the grass catcher to the rear panel and reinstall it to the unit.
Mulching tips
• e special mulching blade will re-cut the grass clippings many times and reduce them
in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed.

20 WG/WB81EC-B/FEB20/V1.1
Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching
action. e best time to mow your lawn is the early aernoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly
cut area will not be exposed to the direct sun.
• For best results, adjust the lawnmower cutting height so that the
lawn mower cuts o only the top one-third of the grass blades. If
the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce the cutting eort and to keep from overloading
the motor and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For extremely
heavy mulching reduce your width of cut by over-lapping the
previously cut path and mow slowly.
• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second
time to completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across or perpendicular
to the rst cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south
one week then change to east to west the next week. is will help
prevent matting and graining of the lawn.
