SAFETY INFORMATION
BATTERY SAFETY RULES
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious
personal injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water immediately. Do not
charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 43°F but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes,
ush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a re.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
• Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER
SLOPE GAUGE (See Figure 10)
WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can result in severe injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area.
• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/ motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.
Fig. 10
WARNING
Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2 1/2 feet [.75 m] every 10 feet [3 m]). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.
21
OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER
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. These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction, and could cause serious personal 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 a 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 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
MULCHING TIPS
NOTE: INSPECT THE A REA W HERE THE MOWER IS TO BE USED, AND REMOVE ALL STONES, STICKS, W IRE, BONES , AND OTH ER DEBRIS THAT MIGHT BE TH ROWN BY THE ROTATING BLADE.
• Release the bail lever to turn the mower OFF when crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
• Set mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass, because 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" (10 cm), mow the lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to a maximum of 3 1/4” (8.3 cm).
• Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows. Do not let the grass get too tall. If the grass gets too long, 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 remove the battery. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. Thoroughly inspect the mower and repair any damage before operating the mower.
22
OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER
EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER BAG (See Figure 11)
• Stop mower, allow blades to completely stop, and remove the battery.
• Lift the rear discharge cover.
• Lift the grass catcher bag by its handle to remove from mower.
• Empty grass clippings.
• Lift the rear discharge cover and reinstall the grass catcher bag as described earlier in this manual.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE MOWER
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water. The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use, because grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate, which will cause rust and corrosion.
Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Occasionally wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. If debris builds up on the underside of the mower during use, stop the motor, disconnect it from the battery, and then tilt the mower on its side, and scrape it clean using an appropriate tool.
STORING THE MOWER
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
• Clean the mower as described in the previous section.
• Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required, refer to the Maintenance section.
• Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rock salt.
• Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which causes rust and corrosion.
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every two months when not in use in order to increase its life.
• Remove the battery and store in a secure location out of the reach of children.
WARNING
This battery must be charged every 3 months while in storage to maintain maximum capacity.
VERTICAL STORAGE FUNCTION (See Figure 14)
• Remove the battery from the mower.
• Remove the grass catcher bag.
• Rotate the handle knobs to the unlocked position.
