• Do not use the product near drop-offs, ditches, excessively steep slopes, or embankments. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Never use product while people, especially children, or pets are within 15 m because of the danger of objects being thrown by contact with the blade.
• Objects struck by the lawnmower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. Thoroughly inspect the area where the product is to be used and remove all rocks, sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys, or other foreign objects. Remember, string or wire may entangle with the cutting means.
• Always use the product in the daylight or with good artificial light.
• Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product creates sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not operate the product on wet grass or in the rain.
• Do not use the product when there is a risk of lightning.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the product and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator. Be alert, and turn the product off if a child enters the area.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects including overhanging shrubs, which may block your view.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Read, understand, and always follow the safety instructions that came with your battery and charger. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire or other hazardous situations. Keep all the instructions together in a safe place for future reference.
• Battery-operated products do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Remove the isolator key whenever you are not operating the product.
• Remove the battery pack before makingany adjustments, cleaning, or removing material from the product.
• Ensure that the isolator key is removed before inserting battery pack.
• A battery pack must be recharged only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Using a charger with an incompatible battery pack may create a risk of fire. Use battery pack only with charger listed.
• Use only battery pack intended specifically for the product. Use of any other battery packs may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• 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 pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, fire or explosion.
• Do not place battery products or their batteries near fire or heat. This increases the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Protect the battery pack against moisture and water. Do not charge the product in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapour may be emitted. Provide for fresh air, and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapour can irritate the respiratory system.
• Do not leave the battery pack inside a vehicle in hot or cold conditions.
• Do not incinerate the battery.
• 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

LAWNMOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

• Before use, always visually inspect the product to ensure that blades, blade bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
• Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
• The blade on the product is sharp. Use extreme caution and wear heavy-duty gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning or checking bolt security.
• Bring the product to an authorised service centre to replace damaged or unreadable labels.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure that the product is in safe working condition.
• Replace worn or damaged parts before operating the product.
• The product must be started with the user behind the handlebars in the operator safety zone. Never start the product if:
  • not all four wheels are on the ground
  • hands and feet of all persons are not clear of the cutting enclosure
• Never operate the product if the on/off switch on the handlebar does not properly start and stop the product.
• Never attempt to lock the on/off switches in the on position; this is extremely dangerous. Do not force the product. It will do the job better and safer at the speed for which it was designed.
• Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
• Do not pull the product backwards unless absolutely necessary. If you must back the product away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping or pulling the product over your feet. Turn off the motor and allow the blade to stop if the product has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the product to and from the work area. Never use the product with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, such as deflectors or grass collectors, in place. Do not tilt the product when turning on the motor or while the motor is running. If absolutely necessary, you may raise the front of the lawnmower by no more than 5 cm to enable easier starting. Press down on the handlebar to achieve this. Always return the lawnmower to its normal position with all wheels on the ground before cutting. Tilting the lawnmower exposes the blade and increases the probability of objects being thrown and accidental contact with the blade.
• Turn on the motor carefully according to instructions and keep hands and feet away from blades. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
• Never pick up or carry the product while it is running.
• Turn off the product, and remove the isolator key and the battery pack. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
  • whenever leaving the product unattended (including disposal of grass clippings)
  • before clearing blockages or unclogging discharge chute
  • before checking, cleaning, or working on the product
  • after striking a foreign object; inspect the product for damage and make repairs as necessary before restarting and operating the product
  • If the product starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately)
  • inspect for damage, particularly the blades
  • replace or repair any damaged parts
  • check for and tighten any loose parts
• Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
• Always ensure that the motor control cable is never trapped, pinched or otherwise damaged during assembly or when folding the handle.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

PRODUCT FEATURES

OVERLOAD AND OVERHEAT PROTECTION
The product has an overload protection device. When overloading is detected, the product will automatically turn off. If the overload protector is actuated, the on/off lever must be released. Squeeze the on/off lever to restart the product.
The battery pack has overheat protection. Excessive temperatures will cause the battery to stop powering the product. If the battery pack is too warm, allow it to cool down before resuming operation. If the product still does not work, recharge the battery.
NOTE : The battery pack LED indicator will not work if the battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to stop powering the product. Turn off the product or remove the battery pack from the product and the battery pack LED indicator will resume normal function.

TELESCOPIC HANDLE

The product is equipped with a telescopic handle that can be adjusted for storage and operation. The telescopic handle must be fully extended when setting up the product for use.
NOTE : The product will not function if the telescopic handle is not fully extended and the two latches are not in the correct position.

GENERAL MOWING TIPS

The run time of the battery depends on the condition, length, and density of the grass.
Adjust the cutting height of the lawnmower to suit the current condition of the lawn.

• For best performance, always cut off one-third or less of the total height of the grass.
• When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.
• Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper collection or discharge of grass clippings.
• New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height.
• The product is designed to operate and cut most effectively when moving forwards.
• A higher cutting height extends the run time of the battery pack.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

• Turn off the product, and remove the isolator key and the battery pack. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Allow the product to cool down before storing or transporting.
• Clean all foreign materials from the product. Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep the product away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store the product outdoors.
• For transportation in vehicles, remove the isolator key, and secure the product against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the product.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting the product for maintenance, cleaning, storage, or transportation. The blade is sharp; keep all body parts away from the blade while it is exposed.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

• Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations.
• Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

• Check the grass discharge chute, and carefully clear blockages.
• Turn the product on its side. Check its underside and the area around the blade. If any blockages are found, remove carefully. Remember, the blade may move during cleaning.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise during use, and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

• injury caused by vibration
  • Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated handles and restrict working time and exposure.
• injury caused by noise
  • Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
• injury from contact with the blades
• injury caused by thrown objects

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your physician.

WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks
