Replace blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced blade causes
vibration that could damage the motor drive unit or cause personal
injury. Sharpen a dull blade equally at each end to maintain the
balance. Clean the blade thoroughly and check its balance by
supporting t horizontally on a thin nail through its center hole. The
nail should be in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade
rotates downward, remove some metal from the heavy or lower
end until the blade is balanced. It is balanced when neither end
drops.

SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
•
Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in wet locations.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
•
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
•
Do not service mower with battery, switch key, or charger installed.
•
Do not use the charger when the ambient temperature is above
100°F (38°C) or below 32°F (0°C).
•
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug which could
cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, replace the charger
with an identical charger from an authorized service provider.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an
authorized service center for electrical check to determine if the
charger is in good working order.
•
Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use to
prevent damage to the charger during a power surge,
•
Risk of electric shock, Do not touch uninsulated portion of
output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
•
Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions, Water
entering charger will increase the risk of electric shock,
•
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk
of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the
cord, which could result in electric shock.
•
Keep cord and charger away from heat to prevent damage to
housing or internal parts.
•
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
•
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on charger
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of
charger as specified below:
Cord length (Feet)
Cord Size (AWG)
NOTE: AWG= American Wire Gauge
