Blade Sharpening
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A
DULL BLADE DOES NOT CUT GRASSCLEANLY.
WARNING: Use gloves and proper eye protection while
removing, sharpening, and installing blade. Ensure that
safety key and battery pack are removed.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is
usually sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand causes
the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may berequired. REPLACE BENT OR
DAMAGED BLADEIMMEDIATELY.
When Sharpening the Blade:
Make sure blade remainsbalanced.
Sharpen blade at the original cuttingangle.
Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing
equal amounts of material from bothends.

battery packs before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.

warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a service
check has been made.
For best cutting results, keep blade sharpened
andbalanced.
Inspect and thoroughly clean mower after each use as a
deck with caked grass will degradeperformance.
Always release bail handle to turn mower off, remove
safety key and battery packs when leaving it unattended
even for a short period oftime.
The following suggestions will help you
to obtain optimum run time from your
cordless mower:
Slow down in areas where the grass is especially long
orthick.
Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or
dew-soaked.
Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high
growthperiods.
NOTE: It is recommended that your battery packs be
recharged after use to prolong the battery pack life. Frequent
charging will not harm your battery pack, and will ensure that
the battery pack is fully charged and ready for its next use.
Storing battery pack not fully charged will shorten itslife.
