operate the mower. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference, and consult it regularly.
• Become familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the mower and
how to disengage the power in an emergency.
• In order to avoid c ontact with the blade or injury caused by a thrown object, stay in the
operating zone behind the handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 50’ (15 m) away
from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor immediately if someone enters the
mowing area.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, toys, and other objects that could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Thrown
objects can cause serious personal injury.
• Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid discharging material toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders, etc. Do not discharge material against a wall or obstruction. Doing so
may cause the discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.
• Always wear proper eye protection that complies with ANSI Z87.1 in order to protect your
eyes while operating or performing any adjustment or repair. Thrown objects that ricochet can
cause serious eye injury.
• Always wear a face mask or a dust mask when operating the mower in a dusty environment.

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your batter y tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious
personal injury.
• Do not place batter y tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has
been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce
the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.Do not charge batter y tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 45°F but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store
outside or in vehicles.
• 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,
ush 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

cleaning. Never use brake f luids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean battery pack.
• When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh
and disc harged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharge
battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary
battery.)
• When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed.
Rever se inser tion of batter ies can re su lt in l ea ka ge or exp lo si on. (Applies to produc t

etc.), ames, 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 batter y pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work
best at normal room temperature.

W A R N I N G ( P R O P O S I T I O N 6 5 )
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
