BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

WARNING: USE ONLY POWERSMART APPROVED REPLACEMENT BATTERIES,

OTHER BATTERIES MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MOWER. Use with

POWERSMART 40V battery.

Battery safety rules

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating

condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and

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 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, making adjustments,

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.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

a) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack,

picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing

appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.

b) Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

c) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

d) Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

e) 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 burns or a fire.

f) 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. (This advice is considered correct for conventional NiMh, NiCd, lead

acid and lithium-ion cell types. If this advice is incorrect for a cell design that differs from these, then the

correct advice may be substituted.)

g) Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may

exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

h) Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature

above 130°C may cause explosion. The temperature of 130°C can be replaced by the temperature of 265°F.

i) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature

range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

j) Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

k) Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in

the instructions for use and care.
