Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties. ■ Always wear safety glasses with side shields. ■ Always be sure of your footing. Keep firm footing and balance. Walk, never run. ■ Use the product across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. ■ Do not use the product near drop-offs, ditches, excessively steep slopes, or embankments. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

■ Never use the product while people, especially children, or pets are within 15 m because of the danger of objects being thrown by contact with the blade. ■ Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. Thoroughly inspect the area where the product is to be used and remove all rocks, sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys, or other foreign objects. Remember, string or wire may entangle with the cutting means. ■ Always use the product in the daylight or in good artificial light. ■ Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The product creates sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. ■ Do not operate the product in wet grass or in the rain. ■ Do not use the lawn mower when there is a risk of lightning. ■ Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. ■ Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the product and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. 1 English |

TR■ Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator, be alert and turn the product off if a child enters the area. ■ Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects including overhanging shrubs, which may block your view. ELECTRICAL SAFETY ■ Power plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. ■ Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the switch is in off position before plugging in the product to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged-in product with your finger on the switch. ■ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. ■ Do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an appliance will increase the risk of electric shock. ■ Electrical power should be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. ■ Before use, check the supply and extension cord for signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immediately. Do not touch the cord before disconnecting the supply. Do not use the product if the cord is damaged or worn. ■ If you need to use an extension cord, ensure it is suitable for outdoor use and has a current capacity rating sufficient to supply your product. The extension cord cable should be marked with either “H05 RN-F” or “H05 VV-F”. Check it before every use for damage, always uncoil it during use because coiled cords can overheat. Damaged extension cords should not be repaired, they should be replaced with an equivalent type. ■ Make sure the power cord is positioned so that it cannot be damaged by the cutting means and will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. ■ Never pick up or carry the product by the electric cable. ■ Never pull by the power cord to disconnect from the power supply. ■ Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. ■ Make sure voltage is correct for the product. A nameplate on the product indicates the product’s voltage. Never connect the product to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage. ■ Always ensure the cord from the handlebar to the mower body is never trapped, pinched or otherwise damaged during assembly or handle folding. Never apply power to the mower if this cable is damaged. Bring the product to an authorised service centre for professional repair.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

■ Read, understand and always follow the safety instructions which came with your battery and charger. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire or other hazardous situations. Keep all the instructions together in a safe place for future reference. ■ Battery operated products do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Remove the isolator key whenever you are not operating the product. ■ Remove the battery pack before making any adjustments, cleaning, or removing material from the product. ■ Ensure the isolator key is removed before inserting battery pack. ■ A battery pack must be recharged only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Using a charger with an incompatible battery pack may create a risk of fire. Use battery pack only with charger listed. ■ Use only battery pack intended specifically for the product. Use of any other battery packs may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. ■ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other 2 | Englishsmall metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, fire or explosion. ■ Do not place battery products or their batteries near fire or heat. This increases the risk of explosion and possibly injury. ■ Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed. ■ Protect the battery pack against moisture and water. Do not charge the product in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock. ■ In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapour may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapour can irritate the respiratory system. ■ Do not leave the battery pack inside a vehicle in hot or cold conditions. ■ Do not incinerate the battery. When the battery is beyond its useful life, dispose of it correctly according to the local regulations in your area. ■ 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.

Before using, always visually inspect to ensure blades, blade bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. ■ Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance. ■ The blade on the product is sharp. Use extreme caution and wear heavy duty gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning or checking bolt security. ■ Bring the product to an authorised service centre to replace damaged or unreadable labels. ■ Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. ■ Check the grass box frequently for wear, holes or deterioration. ■ Replace worn or damaged parts before operating the product. ■ The product must be started with the user behind the handlebars in the operator safety zone. Never start the product if: ● all four wheels are not on the ground ● the grass discharge chute is exposed without being protected by either the mulching plug and grass discharge chute cover, or the grass box and grass discharge chute cover ● hands and feet of all persons are not clear of the cutting enclosure ■ Never operate the product if the on/off switch on the handlebar does not properly start and stop the product. ■ Never attempt to lock the on/off switches in the on position, this is extremely dangerous. ■ Do not force the product. It will do the job better and safer at the speed for which it was designed. ■ Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces. ■ Do not pull the product backward unless absolutely necessary. If you must back the product away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping or pulling the product over your feet. ■ Stop the motor and allow the blade to stop if the product has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the product to and from the area to be mowed. ■ Never use the product with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example, deflectors and/ or grass boxes, in place. ■ Do not tilt the product when switching on the motor or while the motor is running. This exposes the blade and increases the probability of objects being thrown. ■ Switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. Do not start the machine when standing in front of the discharge opening. 3 English |

TR■ Never pick up or carry the product while it is running. ■ Stop the mower motor, remove the isolator key (DC mode only), disconnect the product from the power supply, and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop for the following cases: ● whenever you leave the product unattended (including disposal of grass clippings). ● before cleaning a blockage or unclogging discharge chute ● before checking, cleaning or working on the product ● after striking a foreign object; inspect the product for damage and make repairs as necessary before restarting and operating the product. ● before removing the grass box or opening the grass discharge chute cover. ● If the product starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately) – inspect for damage, particularly the blades – replace or repair any damaged parts – check for and tighten any loose parts ■ Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY

RISK REDUCTION It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration: ■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the product wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. ■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation. ■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day. If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor. WARNING Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings. ■ Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper collection or discharge of grass clippings. ■ New or thick grass may require a higher cutting height. ■ If you wish to collect the grass cuttings for disposal, remove the mulching plug and fit the grass box making sure the top flap is properly closed. Empty the grass box regularly; otherwise, the discharge chute will become blocked with grass cuttings. ■ If you are making a light cut and wish for the grass cuttings to remain on the lawn, fit the mulching plug and close the top flap to cover the discharge opening. It is not necessary to fit the grass box in this case. ■ The mower is designed to operate and cut most effectively when moving forwards.

■ The run time of the battery depends on the condition, length, and density of the grass. ■ Adjust the cutting height of the lawn mower to suit the current condition of the lawn to be mowed. ■ A higher cutting height will extend the run time of the battery. ■ For best performance, always cut off one- third or less of the total height of the grass.
