27 General and Product-Specific Safety Instructions
key left attached to a rotating part of the lawn
mower may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con‐
trol of the lawn mower in unexpected situa‐
tions.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
f)
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
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of lawn mowers allow you to become
complacent and ignore lawn mower safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
27.5 Lawn Mower Use and Care
a) Do not force the lawn mower. Use the cor‐
rect lawn mower for your application. The
correct lawn mower will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the lawn mower if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any lawn mower
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha‐
ble, from the lawn mower before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing
lawn mowers. Such preventive safety meas‐
ures reduce the risk of starting the lawn
mower accidentally.
d) Store idle lawn mowers out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the lawn mower or these instructions to
operate the lawn mower. Lawn mowers are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain lawn mowers and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condi‐
tion that may affect the lawn mower's opera‐
tion. If damaged, have the lawn mower
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained lawn mowers.
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 lawn mower, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc‐
tions, taking into account the working condi‐
tions and the work to be performed. Use of
the lawn mower for operations different 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 lawn
mower in unexpected situations.
27.6 Battery Lawn Mower Use and
Care
a) 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.
b) Use lawn mowers only with specifically des‐
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat‐
tery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
c) 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 connec‐
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d) 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 irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or lawn mower
that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or lawn mower
to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or lawn mower out‐
side the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at tem‐
peratures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
