•
Disconnect the battery pack from the
machine before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing machine.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the machine accidentally.
Recharge only with the charger specified
•
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
•
Use machines only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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 terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medi-
cal help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or machine
that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or machine
to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or machine
outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside of the
specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
Have servicing performed by a quali-
•
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the product is maintained.
•
Do not modify or attempt to repair the
machine or the battery pack except as indi-
cated in the instructions for use and care.
•
Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in
wet locations.
When replacing batteries, all batteries
•
should be replaced at the same time.
Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could
increase internal cell pressure and rupture
the discharged battery.
•
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
•
Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
44. Do not use the machine when there is a risk of
lightning.
45. When you use the machine on muddy ground,
wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to
your footing.
46. Avoid working in poor environment where
increased user fatigue is expected.
47. Do not use the machine in bad weather where
visibility is limited. Failure to do so may cause
fall or incorrect operation due to low visibility.
48. Do not replace the battery in the rain.
49. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
machine in dump or wet locations or expose it
to rain. Water entering the machine will increase
the risk of electric shock.
50. Do not charge the battery outdoors.
51. Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
and charger terminals with wet hands.
52. If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
53. Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.
54. Do not leave the machine unattended outdoors
in the rain.
55. Do not insert or remove the lock key in the rain.
56. When wet leaves or dirt adhere to the suc-
tion mouth (ventilation window) due to rain,
remove them.
57. Do not wash the machine with high pressure water.
58. When washing the machine, be sure to remove
the battery and lock key and close the battery
cover, and pour water toward the bottom of the
machine to which the blade is attached.
59. When storing the machine, avoid direct sun-
light and rain, and store it in a place where it
does not get hot or humid.
60. Perform inspection or maintenance in a place
where rain can be avoided.
61. After using the machine, remove the adhered
dirt and dry the machine completely before
storing. Depending on the season or the area,
there is a risk of malfunction due to freezing.
62. Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal get wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
63. After removing the battery from the machine or
charger, be sure to attach the battery cover to
the battery and store it in a dry place.
64. Do not replace the battery with wet hands.
65. Do not use the machine in the snow.
