Charge Battery Pack
Improper use of the battery and charger can result in
an electrical shock or fire.
When Charging Battery Pack
• Charge battery pack only with original battery
charger.
• Do not use battery charger to charge any other
types of batteries.
• Keep battery charger dry. Avoid exposing battery
pack to rain or wet conditions.
• To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
• An extension cord should not be used unless abso-
lutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
1. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on
charger;
2. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
3. That wire size is a minimum of 16 AWG to allow
for AC ampere rating of charger.
• Do not operate charger with damaged plug or cord.
The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is
damaged, the charger should be replaced imme-
diately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way. If charger is damaged it must be replaced.
Charger is not serviceable.
• Do not disassemble charger; or attempt to service.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
from outlet before cleaning.
• Do not short circuit; never place any object into the
battery contacts.
• The charger is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervi-
sion or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the charger.

m CAUTION!
The engine does not come with oil in it. There-
fore, ensure that you add 0,45 liters of oil before
starting it up. Use normal, multigrade oil (SAE30).
The oil level in the engine must be checked each
time before mowing.
You will also need to fill in petrol, as this is also
not supplied upon delivery.
• In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 1/ Item 3) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial
position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
