Using mulching plug
The mulching plug allows you to return the cut grass to
the ground without gathering the cut grass in the grass
basket. When you operate the machine with the mulch-
ing plug, be sure to remove the grass basket.
NOTICE: When using the machine with the
mulching plug, make sure that the total length of
grass after cutting is 30 mm (1-3/16″) or more, and
the cut length is 15 mm (9/16″) or less.

Periodically check the grass basket for mowed grass.
Empty the grass before it becomes full. Before every
periodical check, be sure to stop the mower then
remove the lock key and the battery pack.
NOTICE: Using the mower with the grass basket
full prevents smooth blade rotation and places
an extra load on the motor, which may cause
breakdown.
