Switching off

u To turn the lawnmower off, release the blade bail bar (2).

When the bail bar (2) has returned to the original position it

will activate the automatic braking mechanism. The motor is

electrically braked and the lawnmower blade will stop rotating

in 3 seconds or less.

Grass box full indicator (g. R)

The lawn mower has a device which allows you to easily see

when the grass box is full and needs emptying.

u When the lawn mower is running and the grass box is

empty the indicator will be in the open position (26).

u When the lawn mower is running and the grass box is full

the indicator will be in the closed position position (27).

Hints for optimum use

u Lawns should rst be mowed in the spring when the

grass is about 63 mm to 76 mm high. Mowing too early in

the season restricts the root systems of the grass which

renew themselves every spring. New grass should be

mowed when it is about 63 mm high.

u Do not remove too much grass blade surface at one time,

never more than 1/3 of the leaf height during each cutting.

Cutting too close ‘shocks' sensitive grass blades, resulting

in a shallow root system making it more difcult for your

lawn to reach water in the soil.

u Mow your lawn when it is dry to avoid clumping of wet

grass. If you have a choice, late afternoon is the ideal time

for mowing, not only because the grass is dry, but also

because the sensitive new cut area of the grass will not be

exposed to intense sunlight.

u Keep the mowing blade sharp for a nice clean cut. This

improves the mower's performance and enhances the look

of your lawn. A dull blade shatters and bruises the tips of

the grass. This impairs the healthy growth of your lawn

and increases the susceptibility to turf diseases. If the

grass tips are bruised it causes a brownish colour which

gives your lawn an unhealthy appearance. A dull blade

may also pull up young grass seedlings.

u Try to mow your lawn at a consistent cutting height. While

there are times when you should vary the cutting height

with the changing seasons, a consistent cutting height

produces a healthier, lovelier lawn with generally fewer

weeds. Mow more frequently during periods of fast growth.

Frequent cutting ensures that the lower, less attractive

portion of the grass will not show.

u If your lawn has grown too long, during a vacation for ex-

ample, mow at a cutting height one or two positions higher

than normal. A second pass at your usual cutting height

a few days later will put your lawn back on schedule.

Changing the cutting height is a simple matter with Black

& Decker's One Touch Wheel Height Adjustment, which

simultaneously adjusts all four wheels at once.

u During the spring and autumn, or after an interruption to

the cutting schedule, the grass will be longer and thicker. If

the motor continually slows down while cutting, try setting

the wheels for a higher cutting height. Excessive motor

loading can result in uneven cutting, quicker discharge of

the battery and can cause the motor to overload which

stops the motor.

u There are three good ways to enhance your lawn's

appearance: Vary the mowing direction frequently; mow

horizontally on hillsides; (this is also a good safety prac-

tice) and do not forget to overlap the mowing path on each

pass.

Mowing tips

Note Always inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be

used and remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones and other

debris which could be thrown by the rotating blade.

u Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exer-

cise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always maintain a

good footing.

u Release the bail bar (2) to turn the lawnmower off when

crossing any gravel area as stones can be thrown by the

rotating blade.

u Set the lawnmower at the highest cutting height when

mowing in rough ground or in tall weeds. Removing too

much grass at one time may cause the motor to overload

which will stop the lawnmower. Refer to the troubleshoot-

ing guide.

If the grass box (9) is used during the fast growing season, the

grass may tend to clog up at the discharge opening.

u Release the bail bar (2) to turn the lawnmower off and

remove the safety key (1).

u Remove the grass box (9) and shake the grass to the

back of the bag.

u Clean out any grass or debris which may be packed

around the discharge opening.

u Ret the grass box (9).

If the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally:

u Release the bail bar (2) immediately to turn the lawn-

mower off and remove the safety key (1) and the battery

pack (22).

u Investigate the cause of the vibration. Vibration is a warn-

ing. Do not operate the lawnmower until a service check

has been made. Refer to the troubleshooting guide in the

manual.

Note Always release the bail bar to turn the lawnmower off

and remove the safety key when leaving it unattended even

for a short period of time.

The following suggestions will help you to obtain optimum

run-time from your cordless mower:

u Slow down in areas where the grass is especially long or

thick.

u Avoid mowing when the grass is wet.

u Cut your lawn frequently, especially during periods of high

growth.
