WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below and on the
machine may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Avoid dangerous environment – Do not use the lawn
mower in damp or wet conditions or operate in the rain.
Keep children away – Keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 100 ft. away. Stop machine if anyone enters
the area.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. 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 mower off if a child enters the area.
Never allow children to operate the machine.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a
child.
Dress properly – Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
gloves, and protective footwear that will protect your
feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces. Do
not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, or
go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind. They can
be caught in moving parts.
Don’t overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Do not leave the mower unattended while running or with
the start key installed.
Keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
Operate the lawn mower only in daylight or good artificial
light.
Use safety glasses – Always wear eye protection with
side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Use face
mask if operation is dusty.
Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower for
any job except that for which it is intended.
Do not force the lawn mower – It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in wet locations.
Stay alert – Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the lawn mower. Do not operate
the mower while tired, upset, or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the lawn mower may result in serious
personal injury.
Maintain lawn mower with care – Keep machine in good
working condition. Keep blades sharp and guards in place
and in working order. Replace damaged or unevenly worn
blades before using mower for best performance.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe work-
ing condition. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or
wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
Stop the motor, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, and remove the start key and battery pack before
performing any maintenance, cleaning the lawn mower,
removing the grass catcher, or removing the mulching
plug.
Never use a hose, water, or any liquids to clean or
rinse off the lawn mower. Corrosive liquids, water,
fertilizers, and chemicals used to treat lawns can enter
the lawn mower and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and
serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of grass
and leaves on or around the mower housing and/or
underneath the mower deck. Wipe the mower clean with
a dry cloth occasionally.
Replace blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced
blade causes vibration that could damage the motor
drive unit or cause personal injury. Sharpen a dull blade
equally at each end to maintain the balance. Clean the
blade thoroughly and check its balance by supporting it
horizontally on a thin nail through its center hole. The nail
should be in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade
rotates downward, remove some metal from the heavy
of lower end until the blade is balanced. It is balanced
when neither end drops.
Always use safety protective devices. Do not operate the
mower without the entire grass catcher or mulching plug
and rear discharge door in place and working properly.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation
and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, tree nuts, sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys,
or other objects which can be thrown by the blade.Stay
behind the handle when the motor is running.
Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall
accident.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material
toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction,
which may cause the material to ricochet back toward
the operator.
Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident. Walk,
never run.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view.
Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely nec-
essary. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping
or pulling the mower over your feet.
Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma-
terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the
blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
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.
If the lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these
steps:
Stop the lawn mower by releasing the blade control
lever, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop,
and then remove start key.
Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage.
Replace the blade if it is damaged in any way. Repair
any damage before restarting and continuing to operate
the mower.
Stop the motor, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, and remove start key before unclogging the chute.
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.
If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
motor, remove the start key, and check immediately for
the cause. Replace the blade if it is unevenly worn or
damaged in any way. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
Service on the product must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user
or damage to the product.
The grass catcher assembly is subject to deterioration
and wear and should be checked each time the mower is
used. If replacement is needed, make sure the new grass
catcher meets original manufacturer’s recommendations
and specifications.
Use only authorized replacement parts when servicing
the product. Use identical replacement blades only. Use
of unauthorized parts may create a risk of serious injury
to the user, or damage to the product.
Maintain or replace safety instructions labels, as neces-
sary.
Disconnect battery and remove start key. Disconnect
battery pack and remove start key from the appliance
before storing, servicing, or changing accessories such
as blades. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Stop the unit and disconnect battery pack and start key
when not in use. Carry or push the unit with the motor
stopped and the start key removed from the mower.
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 bat-
tery tool or when changing accessories. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.

pressing the start button when you are ready to mow.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury.
Once the mower has been started, the self-propelled
feature is engaged by pulling one or both of the levers
upward to meet the handle.
To disengage the self-propelled feature, release the le-
vers.
NOTE: The self-propelled levers can be used without
engaging the blade to power the mower from one location
to another. You must pull the bail and then one or both
levers to move the mower without engaging the blade.
CRUISE CONTROL
See Figure 12
WARNING:
Always adjust the cruise control before you engage the
blade. Adjusting the cruise control while mowing may
cause you to lose control and could result in serious injury
while the blade is operating.
WARNING:
When using the self-propelled feature, ensure that the
cruise control is set at a speed that you can comfort-
ably follow when walking behind the mower. You may
lose control of the mower if the cruise control is set at
a speed that is too fast for your walking pace. Release
the self-propel levers and bail if you cannot keep up
with the mower and adjust the cruise control as needed.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury.
By sliding the cruise control button on the handle, you can
adjust the speed of the mower to accommodate your pace
when the self-propelled feature is engaged.
OPERATION
MOWING TIPS
WARNING:
Do not mow on wet grass, which can cause you to slip
and fall and result in possible serious personal injury.
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, tree nuts, sticks,
wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn
mower blades or motor. Do not mow over property stakes
or other metal posts. Such objects could damage the
blade or be accidentally thrown by the mower in any di-
rection and cause serious personal injury to the operator
and others.
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the
total length of the grass.
When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow
for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the
deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass
clippings.
New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher
cutting height.
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to completely
stop, remove the start key and remove the battery pack
from the battery port before cleaning underneath the
mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
that can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes re-
quires 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.
Mow across the face of slopes, not 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. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your bal-
ance, release the upper blade control lever immediately.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
