4. Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and have
full control over the product.
MOWING TIPS
1. Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn
mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction
and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
2. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
3. When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
4. Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass
clippings.
5. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
6. Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and
any other accumulated debris.
7. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is in straight lines
along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensure that the lawn is cut without missing
any spots (Fig. 11).

MOWING ON A SLOPE (Fig. 12)
1. Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that can result in severe injury. Mowing
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do
not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
2. Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
3. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be tripped over
or thrown by the blade.
4. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the start/stop bale switch immediately.
5. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
AFTER USE
1. Switch the product off, remove the battery packs and let it cool down.

REPLACING THE MOWER BLADE
NOTE: Remove safety key and batteries before performing any maintenance!
1. Stop the motor and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
2. With the blade stopped, remove the SAFETY KEY and the BATTERIES from the mower and store
in safe location.
3. Slowly turn the mower onto its side.
4. Wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck in order to prevent blade from
turning while the blade nut is being removed (Fig. 13).
5. Loosen the blade nut using a wrench or socket (not provided).
6. Remove the blade nut by turning counter-clockwise, and then remove the blade.
7. Place the new blade on the shaft. Make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing up toward
the mower deck and not down toward the ground.

MAINTENANCE
SHARPENING THE BLADE
For best mowing performance, the mower blade must be kept sharp. A dull blade does not cut grass
evenly and overloads the motor. Under normal circumstances, sharpening the blade twice during the
mowing season is usually sufcient. However, if your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening
may be required.
• Following the instructions in the Replacing The Mower Blade section (Page 26), remove the mower
blade. DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower.
• Using a ne-tooth le or sharpening stone, sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade,
removing equal amounts of material from both ends (Fig. 15).
WARNING
When removing, inspect the blade carefully. If blade is bent or damaged, replace immediately with a
new blade. Failure to replace a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious injury.
BALANCING THE BLADE (Fig. 16)
When sharpening, care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause
excessive vibration when the mower is running. This vibration will eventually cause damage to the
mower, especially the motor.
To check the blade balance:
• Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vise as shown.
NOTE: If a vise is not available, a straight nail can also be used.
• Place the center hole of blade on the screwdriver (or nail) shank.
• If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward,
sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.
