Before Using
Charging Procedure
The battery charger supplied matches the lithium-ion battery
installed in the tool. Do not use other battery chargers.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is empty, a protective circuit will
automatically switch OFF the machine.
Charge the battery for up to 4 hours then use it until it runs
down (i.e. the tools starts to operate slowly). Recharge for
up to 4 hours again before resuming operation.
The mower is equipped with a battery capacity indicator
system under the battery gauge cover. To check the battery
capacity, lift up the battery gauge cover and push the button
(Fig. 9). The charge indicator system indicates the battery
status of the lawn mower as the table shows below.

Battery Charging
The battery in this lawn mower has been designed to provide
maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, it will
eventually wear out. To obtain the longest possible battery life,
we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your lawn mower in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.

Need to be charged
• Never store the lawn mower with the battery in a
discharged condition. Recharge the unit immediately after
it is discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature is, the faster they lose their charge. If you
store your lawn mower for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the battery every 6 months. This will
extend battery life.
NOTE: The lawn mower has been shipped in a low charge
condition and should be fully charged before use.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate AC power outlet.
Connect the charger plug into the charging socket of the
lawn mower to start charging (Fig. 10).

2. The charge indicator LED on the charger will illuminate red
to indicate that the charging is in progress (Fig. 10).
3. The battery will take approximately 4 hours to charge. The
charge indicator LED will become green when the battery
is fully charged, unplug the charger immediately when the
green light is on.
m
CAUTION!
This charger does not automatically turn off
when the battery is fully charged. Please take care not to leave
the lawn mower plugged into the charger. Switch off or unplug
the charger at the mains when charging is complete.
NOTE: The charge indicator LED light will illuminate red when
the charger is plugged in and is charging the lawn mower. The
light will turn green when the lawn mower is fully charged.
The charging process starts as soon as the charger is plugged
into both the proper electrical outlet and the tool.
• During the charging procedure, the housing of the tool will
feel slightly warm to the touch. This is normal.
• When no further use is planned for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery charger from the outlet and the
unit.
• Do not use the tool during the charging procedure.
