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 batteries 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, fer-
tilizers, 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 oc-
casionally.
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,
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3 — English
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking
up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with
your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have
the switch on invites accidents.
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 connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
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. Material
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 necessary.
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.

personal injury, always remove the start key when moving
or transporting the mower.
NOTE: The battery storage compartment offers a convenient
place for storing your battery, or to store an extra battery
pack. The unit cannot be powered by the battery while it
is installed in the battery storage compartment; it must be
moved to the battery port in order to power the unit from
the battery port.
STARTING/STOPPING THE MOWER
See Figures 11 - 12.
NOTE: Mower will not start without the grass catcher or
mulch plug attached, the start key installed, and the battery
in the unit.
Raise the battery cover.
Install battery pack into the battery port.
Insert the start key into the slot beside the battery storage
compartment.
Lower the battery cover.
Raise the handle assembly as described earlier.
NOTE: The mower will not start if the handle assembly
is not in the operating position.
Press and hold the start button. Pull the bail toward the
handle and release the button to start the mower and
blades.
 NOTE: The motor and blades will also start if the bail is
pulled first and the start button is pressed after.
To stop the mower, release the bail.
MOWING TIPS
WARNING:
Do not mow on wet grass, which can cause you to slip
and fall and result in possible serious personal injury.
NOTE: Fully charge battery before each use for optimal
runtime.
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 direction 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.
OPERATION
11 — English
OPERATION
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 and mow across the face of
slopes, not up and down.
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.
