Additional safety warnings

Battery safety

WARNING! Fire risk!

The battery to be charged must be placed on a nonflammable, heat resistant and non-conductive surface while charging.

Keep corrosive, flammable and easily combustible objects clear of the battery charger and the battery. Do not cover the battery charger and the battery while charging.

Disconnect the battery charger immediately in the event of smoke formation or fire.

Only use the original GARDENA Charger to charge the battery. The use of other battery chargers may damage the batteries irreparably and even cause a fire.

If you notice fire: Extinguish the flames with oxygen reducing materials.

WARNING! Risk of explosion!

Protect batteries from heat and fire. Do not leave on radiators or expose to strong sunshine for long periods.

Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Batteries may create sparks which could ignite the dust or fumes.

Check your replacement battery before each use. Visually check the battery before each use. A non-functioning battery must be disposed of correctly. Do not send by post. For further details, please contact your local disposal companies.

For risks of injury do not use the battery as a power source for other products. Only use the battery for the GARDENA product intended.

Only use and charge the battery in ambient temperatures of between 0 °C and 40 °C. Allow battery to cool down after long periods of use.

Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or ageing (brittleness). Only use it in perfect condition.

Do not stow the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight. Ideally, the battery should be stored below 25 °C so that self-discharge is low.

Do not expose the battery to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a battery will increase the risk of electric shock.

Keep battery in order (clean) especially air vents. If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time

(winter period) reload the battery to avoid a deep discharge.

Do not stow while still attached to a tool, this prevents misuse and accidents.

Do not stow the battery in places where static electricity is present.

Electrical safety

WARNING! Cardiac arrest!

This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak with their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before you operate the product.

Before use, examine the cable for signs of damage or ageing. If the cable is found to be defective, take the

product to an Authorised Service Centre and have the cable replaced.

Do not use the product if the electric cables are damaged or worn.

Immediately disconnect from the mains if the charger cable is cut, or the insulation is damaged. Do not touch the electric cable until the cable has been disconnected. Do not repair a cut or damaged cable. Replace it with a new one.

Do not carry the product by the cable. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect any of the plugs. Use only on AC mains supply voltage shown on the prod-

uct rating label. Our products are double insulated to EN 60335. Do not

connect an earth to any part of the product. Check the working area for hidden cables. Do not use for pond care or close to water.

Personal safety

WARNING! Risk of suffocation!

Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.

Do not use in explosive atmosphere. Never operate the product when you are tired, ill or under

the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine. Do not overload the mower. Use gloves, wear slip resistant shoes and wear eye

protection. Do not use under wet conditions. Do not disassemble the product further than the delivery

status. Only start the mower with an upright standed handle. Do not use the start levers alternately. Use the handles carefully.

Safety Cut-Out

The engine is protected by a Safety Cut-Out which is activated when the blade becomes jammed or if the engine is overloaded. When this occurs, stop and disconnect the product from the mains. The Safety Cut-Out will only reset when you release the start/stop lever. Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes for the Safety Cut-Out to reset before you continue to use the product.
