Mowing Tips (Fig.A)
WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE
MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES,
STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER DEBRIS WHICH
MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE ROTATINGBLADE.
WARNING: Mow across the face of slopes, never
up‑and‑down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively
(greater than 15°) steep slopes. Always maintain
goodfooting.
• Release bail handle to turn mower “OFF” when crossing
any gravel area (stones can be thrown by theblade).
• Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough
ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one
time can cause the motor to be overloaded and to stop.
• If a grass collection bag
12
is used during the fast
growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at the
discharge opening. Release bail handle to turn mower
off, remove the safety key and battery packs. Remove
the catcher and shake the grass down to the back end
of the bag. Also clean out any grass or debris which may
be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the
grasscatcher.
• If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail
handle to turn mower off, remove the safety key and
battery packs. Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a
warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a service
check has beenmade.
• For best cutting results, keep blade sharpened
andbalanced.
• Inspect and thoroughly clean mower after each use as a
deck with caked grass will degradeperformance.
• Always release bail handle to turn mower off, remove
safety key and battery packs when leaving it unattended
even for a short period oftime.
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
orthick.
• Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or
dew‑soaked.
• Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high
growthperiods.
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 itslife.

remove too much grass at one time. Slow down your cutting
pace, or raise the cutheight.
