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.

 Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning

or removing material from the gardening appliance.

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.
