Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
machine is in safe working condition.
2. Check the grass collector frequently for wear or
deterioration.
3. On machines with multi blade, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades rotate.
4. Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.
5. Always allow the machine to cool down before storing.
6. When servicing the blades be aware that, even though
the power source is switched off, the blades can still
be moved. 7. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only
genuine replacement parts and accessories.

Additional safety warnings

Battery safety
WARNING!
• Fire risk!
• The battery to be charged must be placed
on a non-flammable, heat resistant and
non-conductive surface while charging.
• Keep corrosive, flammable and easily
combustible objects clear of the battery
charger and the battery. Do not cover the
battery charger and the battery while
charging.
• Disconnect the battery charger
immediately in the event of smoke
formation or fire.
• Only use the original GARDENA Charger
to charge the battery. The use of other
battery chargers may damage the
batteries irreparably and even cause a fire.
• If you notice fire: Extinguish the flames
with oxygen reducing materials.
WARNING!
• Risk of explosion!
• Protect batteries from heat and fire. Do
not leave on radiators or expose to strong
sunshine for long periods.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Batteries may
create sparks which could ignite the dust
or fumes.
Check your replacement battery before each use. Visually
check the battery before each use. A non-functioning
battery must be disposed of correctly. Do not send by
post. For further details, please contact your local disposal

For risks of injury do not use the battery as a power
source for other products. Only use the battery for the
GARDENA product intended.
Only use and charge the battery in ambient temperatures
of between 0 °C and 40 °C. Allow battery to cool down
after long periods of use.
Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness). Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stowe the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight.
Ideally, the battery should be stored below 25 °C so that
self-discharge is low.
Do not expose the battery to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a battery will increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep battery in order (clean) especially air vents.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time
(winter period) reload the battery to avoid a deep
discharge.
Do not stowe while still attached to a tool, this prevents
misuse and accidents.
Do not stowe the battery in places where static electricity
is present.
