Remove the isolator key:
– whenever you leave the machine,
– before clearing a blockage,
– before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine,
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for damage and make repairs as
necessary,
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally
(check immediately).
Maintenance
Always wear gardening gloves when handling
or working near the sharp blades.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be
sure that the machine is in safe working
condition.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
Examine the machine and replace worn or
damaged parts for safety.
Ensure replacement cutting means of the right
type are used.
Ensure replacement parts fitted are ELEM
GARDEN TECHNIC approved.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of
the Battery
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into machines that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture.
Penetration of water in the battery charger
increases the risk of an electric shock.
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.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery
charger is suitable only for charging ELEM
GARDEN TECHNIC lithium ion batteries with-
in the listed voltage range. Otherwise there is
danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean.
Contamination can lead
to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger,
cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not
use the battery charger. Never open the battery
charger yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified
technician and only using original spare parts.
Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily
inflammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.)
or surroundings. The heating of the battery
charger during the charging process can pose a
fire hazard.
Use only ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC battery
packs intended specifically for the machine. Use
of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
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 burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritations or burns.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is
danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the
area and seek medical help in case of
complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
