flame.An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately. Do not charge battery 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,
flush 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
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, adjusting,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
• Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged,
unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possible serious injuries.
• Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean battery pack.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage
to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
PROPER CARE FOR BATTERY
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
• Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80° F and away from moisture.
• Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
• Every two months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
• Charge the mower battery in a dry area that is protected from the weather. Do not expose the
mower or the charger to rain. Do not charge the battery in a wet location. Operate the battery
charger in temperatures between 45° and 104° F. In order to reduce the risk of electric shock,
use only the charger that is provided by the manufacturer to charge the battery.
• DO NOT ABUSE THE CHARGE CORD. Never carry the charger by the cord. Do not
disconnect the charger from the outlet or from the mower by pulling the charger cord.
• Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the charger cords or the charger immediately.
