NEVER charge the battery near naked flames or direct heat.
ALWAYS switch off the mains electricity supply before discon- necting the charger from the battery.
ALWAYS use the battery charger supplied with the mower.
Battery charging should not be necessary during normal use. The engine operation will automatically charge the battery. If the mower is stored for a long period recharging the battery may be necessary to per- mit electric starting.
Charge the battery only when necessary.

Switch off the mains electricity supply and disconnect the charger plug.

IMPORTANT - PREVENT DAMAGE: NEVER connect the bat- tery charger to the engine lead as this will cause the charger to be permanently damaged. Chargers damaged in this manner will not be replaced under warranty.
CAUTION - PREVENT ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: The battery has a separate collection mark. This indicates that the used battery must be taken to an authorised disposal site. It must not be disposed of with general waste.
