collection bag.
NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service, perform the fol-
lowing 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

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, SHARP-
ENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT 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 (See Fig. P)
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade to keep it
balanced, removing equal amounts of material from both
ends.
NOTE:
1. Be sure the mower is turned off . Remove the key and
batteries.
2. Place the mower in stand up storage mode.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. Q)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade Q-1
over a screwdriver shank Q-2, clamped horizontally in a vise
Q-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end.
Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. R1, R2)
Replace yourMower Blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years,
which ever 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
key and batteries are not installed. Wedge a block of wood
Cordless Lawn Mower
between the blade and the mower deck to prevent the blade

using a spanner wrench, and then remove the Blade.
