Operation On A Slope:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For
your safety, use the slope gauge in this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit
on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it.
Do:
Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
•
changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip.
•
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do not:
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
•
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees, as shown on the slope gauge.
•
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.

Service
WARNING
could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown and could increase the risk of injury.
For safety protection, frequently check all components and replace damaged components
immediately with identical replacement parts. Contact SKIL Customer Service for assistance.
Remove or disconnect the battery pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material from
•
the lawn mower.
Do not wash the mower with a hose; avoid getting water in the motor and electrical
•
connections.
Before cleaning the machine, turn the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete
•
stop, then remove the battery pack. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are
sure the blade has stopped rotating. Then unclog the chute or remove or replace the grass
bag, or mulching insert.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
•
To reduce a fire hazard, keep the motor cover free of grass, leaves and debris build-up.
•
Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,
•
visually inspect the blade for damage (e.g., bending, cracking and wear.). Replace the blade
only with the identical replacement blade.
