3 in 1 Cordless lawn mower

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 runtime.

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 38mm 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.

3) For best performance, keep the mower

housing free of built-up grass. From time
to time turn off mower and wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop. Then
unplug the safety key 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, new
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 and
graining of the lawn.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Stop the mower and

remove the safety key before

removing the grass 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 THAT SAFETY KEY IS
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 blade remains balanced.

Sharpen blade at the original cutting
angle.

Sharpen cutting edges on both ends
of blade, removing equal amounts of
material from both ends.

TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See M)

Be sure the switch lever is released, the
blade has stopped and the safety key
removed before removing the blade.

Remove blade from mower. See
instructions for removing and attaching
blade.

Secure blade M-1 in a vise M-2.

Wear safety glasses and be careful not to
