g) Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the machine in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) 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.
6) Service
a) Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
Lawnmower safety warnings
a) Do not use the lawnmower in bad weather conditions, especially
when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the lawnmower is to be
used. Wildlife may be injured by the lawnmower during operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and
remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
d) Before using the lawnmower, always visually inspect to see that the
blade and the blade assembly are not worn or damaged.
Worn or damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
e) Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
A worn or damaged grass catcher may increase the risk of personal injury.
f) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be prop-
erly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly
may result in personal injury.
g) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
h) While operating the lawnmower, always wear non-slip and protective
footwear. Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with
the moving blade.
i) While operating the lawnmower, always wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
j) Do not operate the lawnmower in wet grass. Walk, never run.
This reduces the risk of slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
k) Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively steep slopes.
This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
l) When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always work
across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme
caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control,
slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
m) Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawnmower
towards you. Always be aware of your surroundings.
This reduces the risk of tripping during operation.
n) Do not touch blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are
still in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
o) When clearing jammed material or cleaning the lawnmower, make
sure all power switches are off and the battery pack is disconnected.
Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may result in serious personal injury.
p) When clearing jammed material or cleaning the lawnmower, make
sure all power switches are off and remove the safety key.
Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may result in serious personal injury.
Stop the cutting means if the machine has to be tilted for transportation, when
crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the machine to and
from the area to be used.

Do not tilt the machine when switching on the motor, except if the machine has
to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary
and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
Stop the machine, remove the battery and remove the safety key, and make sure
that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
– After striking a foreign object, inspect the machine for damage and make
repairs before restarting and operating the machine.
– If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, immediately inspect for damage,
replace or repair any damaged parts and check for and tighten any loose
parts.
Maintain the mower at regular intervals.
This will extend the working life of the mower.
Only use spare parts recommended by GARDENA.
This is the only way to ensure safe use of the mower.
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
Always allow the machine to cool down before storing.
When servicing the cutting means be aware that, even though the power source
is switched off, the cutting means can still be moved.
We recommend to wear a hearing protection.
Additional safety warnings
Battery safety
DANGER! Fire risk!
