Uncertainty | K = 1.5 m/s2 |
WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool
can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used depending on the following examples and other variations on how the tool
is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool
is in good condition and well maintained. Using the correct accessory for the
tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti-vibration accessories
are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual
conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle
such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle
but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.
Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills, and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well
lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti-vibration accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number
of days.

Adjusting the cutting height
Remove the battery pack. Flip the mower over. Grip one wheel and pull or push
it forward. Make sure to pull it forward far enough that it is able to be
moved up/down in the wheel bracket. With the wheel in its most forward
position, slide it up or down into the desired position. Repeat the above
steps to all four wheels. Make sure all four wheels are in the same cutting
height.
WARNING Stop, release Operating Bail, and wait until the motor stops
before adjusting the height. The blades continue to rotate after the machine
is switched off, a rotating blade can cause injury. Do not touch rotating
blades.| See Fig. 01, 02

MOWING TIPS
NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT THE AREA WHERE THE MOWER IS TO BE USED AND REMOVE ALL
STONES, STICKS, WIRE, METAL, 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 graveled area
(stones can be thrown by the blade).
3. Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in the rough ground or in
tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one time can cause the circuit breaker
to trip, which stops the mower.
4. If a grass bag is used during the fast-growing season, the grass may tend
to clog up at the discharge opening. Release the bail handles to turn the
mower “OFF” and remove the safety key. Remove the grass bag 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 collection
bag.
5. If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release the bail handle
to turn the mower “OFF” and remove the safety key. Check immediately for
cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate the mower until a
service check has been made.
6. ALWAYS RELEASE THE BAIL HANDLE TO TURN MOWER “OFF” AND REMOVE THE
SAFETY KEY WHEN LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
CUTTING AREA
The cutting area can be affected by several factors, such as cutting height,
lawn humidity, grass length and density. Besides, starting and stopping the
mower too many times
during operation will reduce the cutting area. The table below gives the
relationship between cutting conditions and cutting area.
Cutting Height | Cutting Area (maximum) |
---|---|
Cutting 7 cm to 5 cm | 200m2 |
TIPS:
- It is recommended to mow your lawn more frequently, walk at a normal pace, and not to start/stop the mower too often during operation.
- For best performance, please ensure to use two fully charged battery packs at the same time and always cut off 1/3 or less of the grass height.
- Walk slowly when cutting long grass, so as to have more effective cutting and properly discharge the clippings.
- Avoid cutting wet grass, otherwise, it will stick to the underside of the deck and the clippings cannot be collected or discharged properly.
- A higher cutting height shall be applied to new or thick grass and it will extend the battery duration.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Stop the mower, and remove the safety key and battery before
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 damaged blade,
lose fittings, and worn or damaged components. Check that the covers and
guards are all undamaged and are correctly attached to the mower. Carry out
any necessary maintenance or repairs before operating the 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
BLADES. ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY KEY AND 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
- Make sure the blade remains balanced.
- Sharpen the blade at the original cutting angle.
- Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade to keep it balanced, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.
NOTE:
- Be sure the mower is turned off. Remove the key and batteries.
- Place the mower in stand-up storage mode.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (SEE Fig. K)
- Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped and the safety key and battery are removed before removing the blade.
- Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing and attaching the blade.
- Secure blade K-1 in a vise K-2.
- Wear safety glasses and be careful not to cut yourself.
- Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a fine-tooth file K-3 or sharpening stone.
- Check the balance of the blade. See instructions for blade balancing.
- Replace blade on mower and tighten securely. Refer to the instructions below.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. L)
Check the balance of blade by placing a center hole in blade L-1 over a
screwdriver shank L-2, clamped horizontally in a vise L-3. If either end of
the blade rotates downward, file that end. The blade is properly balanced when
neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. M1, M2)
Replace your mower Blade after 50 hours of mowing or 2 years, whichever is the
sooner-regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the Blade. You will need garden
gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the Blade.
Make sure safety and 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.
STORAGE (See Fig. J1, J2)
Stop the mower, and always remove the Safety Key and 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 rea, remove with a wooden or
plastic implement. Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place another
objects on top of the machine.
