Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis-
1.
charged. Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
2.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always be sure that the lock key
and battery cartridge are removed before carrying
out any work on the mower. Failure to remove the
lock key and the battery cartridge may result in seri-
ous personal injury from accidental start-up.
WARNING:
Never start the mower unless it is
completely assembled. Operation of the tools in a
partially assembled state may result in serious per-
sonal injury from accidental start-up.
