HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL HINTS TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR BLACK & DECKER
CORDLESS MOWER...AND KEEP YOUR LAWN LOOKING BEAUTIFUL
1. Lawns should first be mowed in the spring when the grass is about 21/2- to 3 inches (63mm) ot (76mm) high. Mowing too early restricts the grass root systems which renew themselves everyspring. New grass should be mowed when itis about 2-1/2 inches(63mm) high.
2. Do not remove too much grass bladesurface at one time...never more than 1/3 of the leaf height during each cutting. Cutting too close “shocks” sen- sitive grass blades, resulting in a shallow root system and thus making it more difficult for your lawn to reach water in the soil.
3. Lawn care experts say that excessively close cutting is responsiblefor much of the difficulty experienced on manylawns. The depth and strength of the roots of grass are almost exactly proportional to its growth.Grasses of mature lawns often are seriously injured when mowed shorter than 1-1/2 inches (38mm), and a height of 1-1/2 to 2 inches (38mm)to (51mm) is preferred on large awnsl.
4. Mow your lawn when it is dry to avoid clumping of wetgrass. If you have a choice, late afternoon isthe ideal time for mowing, not only because the grass is dry, but also becausethe sensitive new cut area of the grass will not be exposed to intense sunlight.
5. Keep the mowing blade sharp for a nice clean cut. This improves the mowerʼs performance and enhances the look of your lawn. A dul blade shatters and bruises the tips of the grass. This impairs the healthy growth of your lawn and increases susceptibility to turf diseases. If the grass tips are bruised it causes a brownish colour andgives your lawnan unhealthyappearance. A dull blade may also pull up youngseedlings.
6. Try to mow your lawn at the same(consistent) cutting height. Whileheret are times when you should vary the cutting height with the changing sea- sons, a consistent cutting height produces a healthier,lovelier lawn with generally fewer weeds. Mow more frequently during periods of fast growth. Frequentcutting ensures thatthe lower, less attractive portion of thegrass will not show.
7. If your lawn has grown too long, (a vacation, for example, may interrupt your cutting schedule) mow at a cutting height one or two positions higher than normal. A second passat “normal” cutting height a few days later will put your lawn back on schedule. Changing the cutting height is a simple matter with Black & DeckerʼsSingle Lever Wheel Height Adjustment, which simultaneously adjusts all four wheels at once.
8. During the spring and fall, (or after an interruption to the cutting schedule) the grass will be longer and thicker. If the motor continually slows down while cutting, trysetting thewheels for a higher cutting height. Excessive motor loading can result in uneven cutting and quicker discharge of the battery.
9. Three good ideas to enhance your lawnʼs appearance: Vary the mowing direction frequently; mow horizontally on hillsides; (this is also a good safety practice) and do not forget to overlap the mowing path on each pass.
10. Always mow grass so that clippings are discharged onto cut lawn. This will keep your lawn looking fresh by avoiding “Cut Grass” build-up which will eventually brown and appearugly. This method also preserves yourbattery charge,ensuring you get the most from your Black & Decker Cordless Power Mower.
11. During the spring and fall seasonswhen the grass is longer nda thicker, you can use your mower without its battery being fully recharged. (i.e. green charge indication light is on). This will enable you to perform horts cutting tasks, but we donʼt recommend this be done frequently. The battery and
mower perform much better ifchargedfully.
