been designed for a particular type of
battery is used to charge other batter-
ies, there is a risk of fire.
b) Only use the battery that is in-
tended in an electric tool. The use
of other batteries may create a fire haz-
ard and lead to injury.
c) When not in use, keep batteries
away from paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged.
A short circuit between battery contacts
can result in burns or a fire.
d) When misused, fluid may leak
from the battery. Avoid any
contact with it. On accidental
contact, wash in running water.
If the fluid comes into contact
with the eyes, also seek medical
assistance. Leaking battery fluid can
cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered
batteries. Damaged or altered batter-
ies can be unpredictable and lead to
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fire
or elevated temperatures. Fire or
temperatures over 130 °C can cause
an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charg-
ing, and never charge the bat-
tery or the battery-powered tool
outside the temperature range
stated in the instruction manual.
Incorrect charging or charging outside
the permitted temperature range may
destroy the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
b) never repair damaged batter-
ies. All battery repairs should be car-
ried out by the manufacturer or author-
ised customer service centres only.

bad weather, especially during
thunderstorms. This reduces the risk
of being struck by lightning.
b) Look out carefully for wildlife in
the work area thoroughly for
wildlife. Wildlife can be injured by
the running lawn mower.

roughly and remove all stones,
sticks, wires, bones and other
foreign objects. Ejected parts may
cause injury.
d) Before using the lawn mower,
always check that the mower
blade and mower are not worn
or damaged. Worn or damaged
parts increase the risk of injury.
e) Check the grass collector re-
gularly for wear and tear. A
worn or damaged grass catcher increa-
ses the risk of injury.
f) Leave protective covers in place.
Protective covers must be servi-
ceable and properly secured. A
loose, damaged or improperly functio-
ning protective cover can cause injury.

nings free of debris. Blocked air in-
lets and debris can lead to overheating
