TR■ 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. ■ 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 that 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 that 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 that 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 that the cord from the handlebar to the lawnmower body is never trapped, pinched or otherwise damaged during assembly or handle folding. Never apply power to the lawnmower 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 that 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 that the isolator key is removed before inserting battery pack. 2 | English■ 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 small 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. ■ 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.

LAWNMOWER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Before use, always visually inspect to ensure that 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 that the product is in safe working condition. ■ Frequently check the grass catcher 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: ● not all four wheels are on the ground ● the grass discharge chute is exposed and is not protected by the grass catcher 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 backwards 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. ■ Turn off 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 work area. ■ Never use the product with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, such as deflectors or grass collectors, in place. 3 English |

TR■ Do not tilt the product when turning on the motor or while the motor is running. If absolutely necessary, you may raise the front of the lawnmower by no more than 5 cm to enable easier starting. Press down on the handlebar to achieve this. Always return the lawnmower to its normal position with all wheels on the ground before cutting. Tilting the lawnmower exposes the blade and increases the probability of objects being thrown and accidental contact with the blade. ■ Turn on the motor carefully according to instructions and keep hands and feet away from blades. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. ■ Never pick up or carry the product while it is running. ■ Turn off the product, remove the isolator key and the battery pack, or disconnect the product from the power supply. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop: ● whenever leaving the product unattended (including disposal of grass clippings) ● before clearing blockages or unclogging discharge chute ● before checking, cleaning, or working on the product ● before removing the grass catcher or opening the grass discharge chute cover ● after striking a foreign object; inspect the product for damage and make repairs as necessary before restarting and operating the product ● 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. ■ Always ensure that the motor control cable is never trapped, pinched or otherwise damaged during assembly or when folding the handle.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY

WARNINGS WARNING To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. PRODUCT FEATURES

OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND

OVERHEAT PROTECTION The product has an overload protection device. When overloading is detected, the product will automatically turn off. For both AC and battery mode of operation, do the following steps if the product stops working:

1. Release the on/off levers for a few sec-

onds, and let the product cool down for a few minutes.

2. Follow normal switch on procedure to

activate the lawnmower again.

3. If the product still does not turn on,

reinstall the battery pack (battery mode only). If the protection device operates often, raise the height of the cut, and check that the blade is not damaged. If it still occurs, bring the product to an authorised service centre for investigation. The battery pack has overheat protection. Excessive temperatures will cause the battery to stop powering the product. If the battery pack is too warm, allow it to cool down before resuming operation. If the product still does not work, recharge the battery. NOTE: The battery pack LED indicator will not work if the battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to stop powering the product. Turn off the product or remove the battery pack from the product and the battery pack LED indicator will resume normal function. 4 | EnglishON/OFF LEVER

Press the start button and then squeeze the on/off lever (A or B) to start the product. Release the start button and keep squeezing the on/off lever to run the blade. Release the on/off lever to stop the blade.

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. ■ To collect the grass cuttings for disposal, remove the mulching plug and fit the grass catcher, making sure that the grass discharge chute cover is properly closed. Empty the grass catcher 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 grass discharge chute cover to cover the discharge opening. It is not necessary to fit the grass catcher in this case. ■ The product 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 lawnmower to suit the current condition of the lawn. ■ A higher cutting height extends the run time of the battery pack. ■ For best performance, always cut off one- third or less of the total height of the grass.

Turn off the product, remove the isolator key and the battery pack, or disconnect the product from the power supply. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Allow the product to cool down before storing or transporting. ■ Clean all foreign materials from the product. Store the product in a cool, dry, and well- ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep the product away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store the product outdoors. ■ For transportation in vehicles, remove the isolator key, and secure the product against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the product. WARNING Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting the product for maintenance, cleaning, storage, or transportation. The blade is sharp; keep all body parts away from the blade while it is exposed.

RESIDUAL RISKS Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise during use, and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following: ■ injury caused by vibration – Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated handles and restrict working time and exposure. ■ injury caused by noise – Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure. ■ injury from contact with the blades ■ injury caused by thrown objects RISK REDUCTION It has been reported that vibrations from handheld 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. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome. ■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation. 6 | English■ 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 physician.
