when used with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, such as 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.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid

contacts eyes, seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour, resulting in

fire, explosion, or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Electrical and Battery Safety

• D

o not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

Using the Mulching Plug

The mulching plug allows you to return the cut grass to the ground without collecting it in the grass catcher.

When operating the machine with the mulching plug, be sure to remove the grass catcher.

NOTICE: When using the machine with the mulching plug, ensure that the total length of the grass after

cutting is 35 mm or more. The length of each cut should be 15 mm or less. Attempting to mulch

clippings longer than this may cause them to clump beneath the deck and prevent proper mulching.

The centre lines of the front wheels serve as guidelines for mowing width. Using these centre lines, mow in

strips. Overlap each strip by one half to one third of the previous strip to ensure the lawn is mowed evenly.

Change the mowing direction each time to prevent the grass from forming a grain pattern in just one direction.

Periodically check the grass catcher for mowed grass. Empty the catcher before it becomes full. Before each

check, be sure to stop the mower and remove the battery cartridge.

NOTICE: Using the mower with the grass catcher full prevents smooth blade rotation and places an

extra load on the motor, which may cause a breakdown.

Mowing a Long-Grass Lawn

Do not attempt to cut long grass all in one go. Instead, mow the lawn in stages, leaving a day or two between

mows until the lawn is evenly short.

NOTE: Mowing long grass to a short length all at once may cause the grass to die. Additionally, the cut

grass may block up inside the mower body.

Walking with Your Mower

WARNING: Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower. Carefully read

the safety instructions in this manual before using the lawnmower.

WARNING: Never open the ejector flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the

engine is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!

1. Select your required setting.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run and set it to required speed.

3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with engine stop/start lever and drive lever (clutch lever) dosed and

walk along with its self-propelling to start mowing.

When Mowing:

•

Walk. never run with the mower. be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.

•

Mow across slopes. never up and down.

•

Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.

•

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Note: Grass clippings can clog underneath the mower deck, preventing the blades from turning. This

can overheat the engine, causing excessive wear to engine components, reducing the lawn mower's

overall lifespan or catastrophic failure of engine bearings and pistons.

Clogging occurs if you mow wet, long, or lush grass. For the best result, mow when the grass is dry

and use a whipper snipper to reduce the height of grass longer than 15cm (6”) before mowing on the

highest cutting setting.

•

Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut

of the season or in drought conditions.

•

Only about one thirds of the grass height should be cut.

•

When mowing with the mulching function, do not cut high or wet grass to ensure that the cut grass can be

scattered efficiently. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the mower, and clean the

blade and the deck.

•

Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead, use

suitable tools such as a brush or broom.

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged for 100 mins on the initial charge and 100 mins for each subsequent charge.

2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C.

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again.

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat, for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating, or fire may result.
