SAFETY INFORMATION
•
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more
than 43°F (6ºC) but less than 104°F (40ºC). To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do
not store outside or in vehicles. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above130°C may cause explosion. The temperature
of 130°C can be replaced by the temperature of 265°F.

•
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
•
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
•
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
•
Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged,
unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.
•
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
•
Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean
battery pack.
PROPER BATTERY CARE
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, the following steps are suggested:
•
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
•
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F and away from moisture.
•
Store battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
•
Every two months of storage charge the pack as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
•
Charge the mower battery in a dry area that is protected from the weather. Do not expose the
mower or the charger to rain. Do not charge the battery in a wet location. Operate the battery
charger in temperatures between 43°F and 104°F. In order to reduce the risk of electric shock,
use only the charger that is provided by the manufacturer to charge the battery.
•
Do not misuse the charger cord. Never carry the charger by the cord. Do not disconnect the
charger from the outlet by pulling the charger cord.
•
Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the charger cords or the charger immediately.
•
Keep the mower and the charger away from water, heat sources (radiators, heaters, stoves, etc.),
flames, and chemicals.
•
Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
•
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
•
Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best
at normal room temperature.
•
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the
battery pack.
