WARNING:
Do not mow a slope that has an angle of
greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 ft. every 10 ft.).
Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.
Mowing Tips
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of
the mower, especially when cutting high grass.
Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per
year, as described in the Maintenance section.
• Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and
other objects that could damage the blades or the motor
before use.
These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in
any direction, and could cause serious injury to the operator
and to others.
• In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the
mower in damp or wet conditions.
• Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to
allow for a more effective cut and proper discharge of the
clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less
of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should
be approximately 1.5 to 2 in. (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool
months, and more than 2 in. (5 cm) long during hot months.
If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
Mulching Tips
NOTE:
INSPECT THE AREA WHERE THE MOWER IS TO
BE USED AND REMOVE ALL STONES, STICKS, WIRE,
AND OTHER DEBRIS THAT MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE
ROTATING BLADE.
1. Release the switch to turn the mower OFF when
crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown
by the blade).
2.
Set mower to the highest cutting height when mowing
on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
3.
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass, be-
cause it tends to stick to the underside of the deck,
preventing proper mulching of grass clippings. New
or thick grass may require a narrower cut. The ground
speed should be adjusted to the condition of the
lawn. If mowing has been delayed and the grass has
been allowed to grow longer than 4 in. (10 cm), mow
the lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to
maximum of 3-1/4 in. (8.3 cm).
4. Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows. Do
not let the grass get too tall. If the grass gets too tall,
start at the highest cutting position and work down to
the desired cutting height.

WARNING:
If you strike a foreign object, stop
the motor and disconnect the power cord. Thoroughly
inspect the mower for indication of damage.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. If
damaged, repair any damage before operating the
mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during
operation is an indication of damage.
5. Please install the mulch plug when mulching.

WARNING:
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy
gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges with rags or other
materials when performing any maintenance on the blades.
1. Release the switch lever to turn the mower OFF, wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop, and then
remove the battery.
2. While wearing leather padded gloves, wedge a block of
wood between the blade and the mower deck in order
to prevent the blade from turning when the nut is being
removed.
3. Using a 15-mm wrench or socket, loosen the blade
