Sharp moving blade. Never operate the mower unless the hanger hooks on the grass catcher are seated properly on the mower

andDANGER:the rear discharge door rests firmly against the top of the grass catcher as serious injury could result.

MOWING TIPS

NOTE: ALWAYSINSPECT 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. ALWAYSRELEASE 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.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

Your mower was shipped from Black & Decker with the mulch insert installed. While mulching, your new mower is designed to cut the grass clip- pings into small pieces and distribute them back into the lawn. Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn.

Please review the following recommendations for optimum mulching performance.

1. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps which interfere with the mulching action and reduce run-time. The best time to mow grass is in the late afternoon when the grass is dry and the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

2. For best mulching performance, set the cutting height to remove about one third of the grass blade length, ideally no more than 1-1/2 in. at one time. If the lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase the cut height to reduce the pushing effort and prevent overloading the motor. For extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable to first cut at a high cut height setting, and then re-cut to the final cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow slowly. ALWAYSMAKE SURE BLADE IS SHARP.

3. For best performance, keep the mower housing free of built-up grass. From time to time release bail handle to turn mower off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then remove the safety key and battery pack and turn mower on its side. Using an object such as a stick, wipe out any accumulation of grass in the blade area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade. Clean often in wet, spring grass, and always after every use.

4. Certain types of grass or grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time to fully disperse the grass throughout the lawn. If cutting a second time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular (across) the first cut pattern. DO NOT CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.

5. Change your cutting pattern from week to week. This will help prevent matting of the lawn.
