IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your
product and do not expose the product to rain. Store
indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids, water, and chemi-
cals can enter the product's electronic components and/
or battery compartment and damage electronic com-
ponents and/or the battery pack, which can result in a
short circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious personal
injury. Remove any buildup of dirt and debris by wiping
the product clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
 Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
driveways, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
 If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
 Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when oper-
ating in reverse.

or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
