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. Always remove the battery when
servicing or transporting the mower.
Use only a Kobalt replacement blade. (Item #0648547,
sold separately).
Remove
battery.
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.
Using a 27 mm wrench or socket (not included),
loosen the blade nut and remove the blade. Turn the
nut counterclockwise to loosen it and clockwise to
tighten it.
Remove the blade nut and the blade.
Replacing the cutting blade
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To re-install the blade, position the blade with the
cutting edges toward the ground. Assemble the blade
nut as shown. Using a 27 mm socket or wrench, turn the
blade nut clockwise in order to secure the blade.
Note:
Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order in
which they were removed. When installing the cutting
blade, verify that it is installed with the curved ends
pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward the
ground. Refer to the schematic drawing on the right.

Cleaning the mower
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water.
The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
other debris will accumulate causing rust and corrosion.
Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover
(do not use water).
Wipe
the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
If debris builds up on the underside of the unit while in use, stop the motor and remove the battery.
Tilt the mower forward, or on its side, and scrape it clean with an appropriate tool.
