THE RBRC™ SEAL (BATTERY RECYCLING)
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the lead acid battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to
recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal			Pb
to place spent lead acid batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to

facilitate the collection of spent lead acid batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the lead acid battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-544-6986.

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 2-1/2 to 3 inches (63mm) to (76mm) high. Mowing too early restricts the grass root systems which renew themselves every spring. New grass should be mowed when it is about 2-1/2 inches (63mm) high.

2. Do not remove too much grass blade surface at one time...never more than 1/3 of the leaf height during each cutting. Cutting too close “shocks” sensitive 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 responsible for much of the difficulty experienced on many lawns. 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 lawns.

4. Mow your lawn when it is dry to avoid clumping of wet grass. If you have a choice, late afternoon is the ideal time for mowing, not only
