battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
keys, etc. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns if contact with said materials is made.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents,
which can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes
requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it.
Do:
• Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
• Watch for holes, roots, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all obstacles such as rocks and tree
limbs.
• Make sure that your footing is stable. If you are out of
balance, release the switch immediately.
Do not:
• Mow excessively steep slopes.
• Mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could
lose your footing or balance.
• Mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
Do not mow on the slopes with incline more than 15°. If
you are not comfortable, do not mow on a slope.
In case of self-propelled mowers, please keep a low self-
propelled speed when you mow on a slope.

SERVICE/MAINTENANCE

• Check the blade and the motor (machine) mounting bolts
at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
• Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced
blade causes vibration that could damage the motor drive
unit or cause personal injury.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to ensure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Do not wash with a hose; avoid getting water in motor
and electrical connections.
WARNING
TIP
English
• Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly. Never do anything to interfere
with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce
the protection provided by a safety device.
• Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build
up. Allow mower to cool before storing.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the motor
running.
• Always remove battery pack from mowers before
adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard
frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended
parts, when necessary.
• Sharpen a dull blade equally at each end to maintain the
balance.
• Keep guards in place and in working order. Mower blades
are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing.
• Clean the blade thoroughly and check its balance by
supporting it horizontally on a thin nail through its center
hole. The nail should also be in a horizontal position. If
either end of the blade rotates downward, remove some
metal from the heavy or lower end until the blade is
balanced. It is balanced when neither end drops.
• Use identical replacement blades only.
• Maintain lawn mower with care. Keep cutting edges
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect lawn mower cord periodically and if damaged,
have it repaired by an authorized service facility.
• If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use
care and good judgment or contact Customer Service for
assistance.
• Never operate the mower without proper guards, plates,
or other safety protective devices in place.
• Before each use, examine the machine for damaged,
missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts and
caps.
• Tighten correctly all the fasteners and caps.
• Clean the machine with a dry cloth. Do not use water.
