BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES
NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND
INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY AND BATTERY PACK IS
R
EMOVED.
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.

EPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE:
1. Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped and safety key and battery
pack removed before removing the blade.
2. Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing and installing blade.
3. Secure blade X-1 in a vise X-2.
4. Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be careful not to cut yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a fine tooth file X-3 or sharpening
stone, maintaining the original cutting edge.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for blade balancing.
7. Replace blade on mower and tighten securely.
BLADE BALANCING
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade Y-1 over a nail or
round shank screwdriver Y-2, clamped horizontally in a vise Y-3. If
either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly
balanced when neither end drops.
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have plastic
bearing surfaces which require no lubrication.
CLEANING
Release bail handle to turn mower off, let the blade come to a stop and
then remove safety key and battery pack. Use only mild soap and a
damp cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any clippings which may have
accumulated on the underside of the deck and in discharge chute. After
several uses, check all exposed fasteners for tightness. Ensure that the
mower battery compartment and terminals are kept clear of debris.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you mow in areas where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the mower should be cleaned
immediately afterward as follows: (1) Release bail handle to turn mower off and remove safety key and battery pack. (2) Wipe all exposed parts
with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON THE MOWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT. Do not store the
lawn mower on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause rapid corrosion.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
DANGER: Rotating blade can cause serious injury. Release bail handle to turn mower off and remove the safety key before lifting,
transporting or storing the mower. Store in a dry place. Note: The mower will not be as heavy to lift if the battery pack is removed first. Do not use
the latch as a lift point for the mower.
WARNING: Mower should not be lifted by the handle when in storage position. Use the metal side plates and deck as grab points.
