pace when cutting long/thick grass to allow the
mower time to cut and to properly discharge the
clippings.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stop the mower and remove
batteriesbefore removing the grass
collection bag.
NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service,
perform the following maintenance procedures
regularly. Check for obvious defects such as a
loose, dislodged or a damaged blade, loose fittings,
and worn or damaged components. Check that
the covers and guards are all undamaged and
are correctly attached to mower. Carry out any
necessary maintenance or repairs before operating
mower. If the mower should happen to fail despite
regular maintenance, please call our customer
helpline for advice.
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT CUT
GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THE BATTERIES ARE REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing
season is usually sufficient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull
quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent
sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE (See Fig. M)
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade to
keep it balanced, removing equal amounts of
material from both ends.
NOTE:
1. Be sure the mower is turned off and remove
batteries
2. Place the mower in stand up storage mode.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. N)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in
blade N-1 over a screwdriver shank N-2, clamped
horizontally in a vise N-3. If either end of the blade
rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly
balanced when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. O1, O2)
Replace your Mower Blade after 50 hours of
mowing or 2 years of use, whichever comes first.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the
Cordless Lawn Mower
Blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided)
and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the
Blade. Make sure batteries are not installed. Wedge
a block of wood between the blade and the mower
deck to prevent the blade from turning and unscrew
the blade bolt counter-clockwise using a spanner
wrench, and then remove the blade.
To re-assemble, position the blade with the cutting
edges towards the ground. Then securely tighten
the blade bolt.
7. STORAGE (SEE FIG. L1,
L2)
Stop the mower and remove batteries. Clean the
exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft
brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially
from the ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade
area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade
area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage, pinch the quick-release button and
pull it out, and then rotate the quick-release button,
and fold the Handle bar. The mower can also be
stored in a vertical orientation to conserve space
(fig. L2).
NOTE: After the Handle bar is folded, the quick-
release button needs to be screwed back into place.
