(see figure S).
Your mower is now in rear discharge mode. The cut grass will be deposited below the
closed door exit onto the lawn.

2. Ensure rear discharge door rests firmly against the top of the grass catcher.
3. Press and turn On-Demand knob so that it is in-line with the word "BAG" S-1 (see figure S).
Your mower is now in Bagging mode.
Note: To change to rear discharge mode at this point, just remove the grass catcher.
Mulching Mode:

word "MULCH" T-2 (see figure T). Your mower is now in mulch mode.
Note: If it becomes difficult to rotate the On-Demand knob, it may be necessary to clean out
the deck chute.

MOWING TIPS

NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT AREA WHERE MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL
STONES, STICKS, WIRE, BONES AND OTHER DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN BY
THE ROTATING BLADE.
1. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively
steep slopes. Always maintain good footing.
2. Release bail handle to turn mower "OFF" when crossing any gravel area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
3. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one time can cause the
motor to be overloaded and to stop. Refer to troubleshooting guide.
4. If a grass catcher is used during the fast growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at the discharge opening. Release bail handle to turn
mower off and remove the safety key. Remove the catcher and shake the grass down to the back end of the bag. Also clean out any grass or
debris which may be packed around the discharge opening. Replace the grass catcher.
5. If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail handle to turn mower off and remove safety key. Check immediately for cause.
Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a service check has been made. Refer to troubleshooting guide in manual.
6. ALWAYS RELEASE BAIL HANDLE TO TURN MOWER OFF AND REMOVE SAFETY KEY WHEN LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN FOR
A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM RUN TIME FROM YOUR CORDLESS MOWER:
1. Slow down in areas where the grass is especially long or thick.
2. When mulching, avoid cutting more than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) off the length at any one time.
3. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew-soaked.
4. Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high growth periods.
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR MOWER BE RECHARGED AFTER USE TO PROLONG THE BATTERY LIFE. FREQUENT
CHARGING WILL NOT HARM YOUR BATTERY, AND WILL ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND READY FOR ITS
NEXT USE. STORING BATTERY NOT FULLY CHARGED WILL SHORTEN BATTERY LIFE.
