chute, turn the motor off and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop, then remove the battery
pack. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is shut off. Never perform
these functions until you are sure the blade has
stopped rotating.
• Keep cutting edges clean and sharp to ensure best
performance.
• Periodically inspect safety devices and cords for
damage. If damaged do not operate the unit until
it has been repaired by an authorized service
professional.
• Never operate the mower without the proper
discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert, side
discharge chute, or other safety devices in place
and working. Never operate the mower with
damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result
in personal injury.
• Use only approved batteries and chargers. Non-
approved batteries and chargers may cause
damage to the mower or injure the operator.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
cells could catch fire or explode. Check with local
codes and waste management for proper disposal
instructions.
• 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.
• Do not open or destroy the battery. Electrolytes
contained within the battery are corrosive and may
cause damage to eyes or skin if released. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
• 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.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above130°C may cause explosion.
• Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting
the 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.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

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.
• 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.
