SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS LAWN MOWER
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation included in this manual.
As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This
machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of re, electric shock, and personal injury. These basic precautions include the following:
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
mower and mowing activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn the mower off if a child enters the area.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your
vision of a child who may run into the mower.
Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a power mower. Children 14 years old and over should read
and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by
a parent. Only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use
this machine.
OPERATION
General Operation:
Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble this machine. Read, understand,
and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manuals before operation. Be completely familiar with the
controls and proper use of this machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Your lawn
mower has been designed to perform only one job: to mow grass.
Don’t overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully
examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets.
Before and while moving backwards with the mower, look behind and down for small children and other people.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
This machine is a precise piece of power equipment, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all
times. Your unit has been designed to perform one job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Don’t force the lawn mower – it will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS LAWN MOWER — LM2100SP & LM2100
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, toys and other
foreign objects that could be tripped over or picked up and thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can cause serious
personal injury.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against walls or obstructions, which may cause discharged material to ricochet back
toward the operator.
To help avoid blade contact or an injury from thrown objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles and
keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at least 100 feet (30m) from the mower while it is in operation. Stop
the machine if anyone enters the area.
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-tting
slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Never
operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands
and feet.
A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or injuries from thrown objects.
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping.
Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling; immediately release the handle.
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction, rst look down and behind you to avoid tripping, and then follow these steps:
Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way toward you.
Repeat these steps as needed.
Do not operate the mower while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the safety
device inoperative and may result in personal injury through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade control
handle must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged position when released.
Avoid dangerous environments – Don’t use lawn mowers in damp or wet locations so as to avoid slipping and
falling during operation.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
footing, release the motor/blade control handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
Mow only in daylight or good articial light. Walk, never run while operating.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the motor, remove the battery and check for
the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
756-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS LAWN MOWER — LM2100SP & LM2100
Before cleaning the machine, unclogging the chute or removing or replacing the grass bag, mulching insert, or side
discharge chute, turn the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop, then remove the battery
pack. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the
body in the blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating.
Never operate the mower without the proper trailing shield, discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert, side
discharge chute, motor/blade control handle or other safety protective devices in place and working. Never operate
the mower with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact EGO Customer Service
for assistance.
Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:
BATTERY PACK CHARGER
BA1120, BA1400, BA2240
BA2800, BA4200
OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires
extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge on page 22 to measure
slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it.
Do:
Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
Do not:
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees, as shown on the slope gauge.
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.

1956-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS LAWN MOWER — LM2100SP & LM2100
VARIABLE-SPEED SELF-PROPEL SYSTEM (only for
LM2100-SP)
LM2100-SP mower is equipped with variable-speed self-propel
capability. This system is independent of the blade On-Off switch;
it is not dependent on blade rotation. For example, when you
have completed cutting your lawn, you can use the self propel
to propel the mower back to your storage location without blade
rotation. Or you may choose to operate the mower as a non-selfpropelled mower to maximize battery run time.
To operate the self-propel system without blade rotation, pull the
self-propel trigger to the handle.
To turn the self propel off, release the self-propel trigger (Fig. 17).
The system has variable speed. To increase the speed, move the
self-propel-speed-control lever forwards. To decrease the speed,
move the self propel speed control lever backwards.
To operate with the blade rotating for cutting:
1. Depress the safety button.
2. With the safety button depressed, pull the bail switch upward to the handle and release the safety button
3. Hold the bail switch against the handle with your left
hand. Pull the self-propel trigger to the handle with your right hand.
4. With your right hand, hold both the bail switch and the self-propel trigger against the handle and use your left hand
to adjust the self-propel speed-control lever to choose the desired speed.
NOTICE: When you turn off the self propel, for example, at the end of a row, it may become temporarily locked if you pull
backwards on the mower. Simply push ahead slightly and then move the mower as required.
During cutting, at times it may be easier to mow around an object, with the self propel turned off.

MOWER OVERLOAD PROTECTION
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to remove too much grass at one time. Slow down your cutting pace or raise
the cut height.
Your mower has built-in overload circuit protection. When the mower is overloaded, the motor will stop and the power
indicator on the mower will ash orange. Remove the battery pack from the mower. Check to see if grass has collected
beneath the deck and clear it if necessary, then install the battery and restart the mower.
BATTERY HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The battery pack will generate heat during operation. The heat dissipates more slowly in hot weather. If the battery
temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C) during operation, the protection circuit will immediately turn off the mower to protect
the battery pack from heat damage. The power indicator on the mower will shine orange and the LED on the battery will
ash orange.
Release the bail handle, wait until the battery pack cools down to approximately 152°F (67°C), then restart the mower.
MOWING TIPS
NOTICE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting tall grass. Make sure
to check the sharpness of the blade before mowing.
Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects which could damage the lawn mower or
motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and could cause serious personal
injury to the operator and to others.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the battery. Thoroughly inspect the mower for
any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during
operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
For best results, do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
When cutting thick grass, reduce your walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
To maintain a healthy lawn, cut off only one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should
be approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches long during cool months, and between 2 to 3-1/4 inches long during hot
months.
SLOPE GAUGE (Fig. 21)
WARNING: Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2 1/2’ (0.75m) every
10’ (3m)). Mow across the face of a slope and never up and down.
Use Fig. 21 as a guide in order to identify slopes that cannot be mowed safety.
MULCHING TIPS
WARNING: 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.
Release the switch to turn off the mower blade rotation when crossing any graveled areas; stones can be thrown
by a rotating blade.
Set the mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall growth.
22
56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS LAWN MOWER — LM2100SP & LM2100
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass; it tends to stick to the underside of the deck, preventing the proper
mulching of grass clippings. The best time to mow grass is in the late afternoon, when the grass is dry and the
newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
For the best mulching performance, set the cutting height to remove approximately one third of the grass blade
length, ideally no more than 1 1/2” at one time. If the grass is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut
height to make it easier to mow and to prevent overloading the motor. Slow your cutting pace in tall or thick grass
conditions. For mulching extremely thick or tall grass, it is advisable to rst cut at a high cut-height setting, and
then re-cut to the nal cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow slowly. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE
BLADE IS SHARP.

SHARPING FREQUENCY
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually
sufcient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the blade
to dull quickly; if your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent
sharpening may be required.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
Make sure that the blade remains balanced.
Sharpen the blade at the original cutting angle.
Sharpen the cutting edges on both ends of the blade,
removing an equal amount of material from each end.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE:
1. Remove the blade from the mower (please see REMOVING
THE BLADE.)
2. Secure the blade in a vise (Fig. 30.)
3. Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be careful not to
cut yourself.
4. Carefully le the cutting edges of the blade with a ne tooth
le or sharpening stone, maintaining the original cutting
edge angle.
5. To check the blade balance: clamp a nail or a screw driver
with a round shank in the horizontal position. Position the
blade so that the nail or round shank of the screwdriver
supports the blade through its center hole. Balance
the blade horizontally. If either end of the blade rotates
downward, remove some metal from the heavy or lower
end until the blade is balanced. It is balanced when neither
end drops (Fig. 31).
6. Replace the blade on the mower and tighten it securely (please see INSTALLING THE BLADE).
