„ Do not operate the lawn mower on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
„ Do not force the lawn mower. Use the correct lawn
mower for your application. The correct lawn mower
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
„ Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge
direction and do not point the mower discharge at
anyone. Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
„ Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
lawn mower towards you. Always be aware of your
surroundings. This reduces the risk of tripping during
operation.
„ When working on slopes, always be sure of your foot-
ing, always work across the face of slopes, never up
or down and exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
„ Operate the disabling device and/or remove all battery
packs, if removable, from the lawn mower before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing the lawn mower. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the lawn mower accidentally.
„ 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.
„ Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or dete-
rioration. A worn or damaged grass catcher may increase
the risk of personal injury.
„ Before removing the grass catcher, turn off the mo-
tor and wait until the blade(s) comes to a complete
stop. The cutting blade(s) continues to rotate after
the blade control is released. Never place any part of
the body in the blade(s) area until you are certain the
motor is off and the blade(s) has stopped rotating.
Contact with the moving cutting blade(s) may result in
serious personal injury.
„ Before unclogging the chute, turn off the motor, wait
until the blade(s) comes to a complete stop, operate
the disabling device and/or remove all batteries, if
removable. The cutting blade(s) continues to rotate
after the blade control is released. Never place any
part of the body in the blade(s) area until you are
certain the motor is off and the blade(s) has stopped
rotating. Contact with the moving cutting blade(s) may
result in serious personal injury.
„ Before cleaning or inspecting the lawn mower, turn off
the motor, wait until the blade(s) comes to a complete
stop, operate the disabling device and/or remove all
batteries, if removable. Accidental contact with the
moving blade and moving parts may result in personal
injury.
LAWN MOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
„ Maintain the lawn mower and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
lawn mower's operation. If damaged, have the lawn
mower repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained lawn mowers.
„ 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.
BATTERY LAWN MOWER USE AND CARE
„ Use lawn mowers only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may cre-
ate a risk of injury and fire.
„ Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack(s) may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack(s).
„ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack(s) or lawn mower outside the tem-
perature range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
„ Do not use a battery pack or lawn mower that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
„ Do not expose a battery pack(s) or lawn mower to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tempera-
ture above 265 °F may cause explosion.
„ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery(ies); avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery(ies) may cause irritation or burns.
„ When battery packs are not in use, keep them 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.
SERVICE
„ Have your lawn mower serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the lawn mower is main-
tained. Use of parts which do not meet the original equip-
ment specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety.
„ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
