Power switch action (Fig. 8 & 9)

WARNING:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge in the tool,

always check to see that the switch lever actuates

properly and returns to the original position when

released. Operating a tool with a switch that does not

actuate properly can lead to loss of control and serious

personal injury.

NOTE:

• Trying to mow much grass at a time may not allow the

motor to start due to the overload. At this time, change

the mowing height to higher level to restart.

• The mower does not start without pressing the switch

button even if the switch lever is squeezed.

This mower is equipped with the interlock switch and

handle switch. If you notice anything unusual with either

of these switches, stop operation immediately and have

them checked by your nearest Makita Authorized Service

Center.

1. Insert the lock key into the interlock switch.

2. Depress the switch button.

3. Pull the switch lever toward you while depressing

the switch button.

4. Release the switch button as soon as the motor

starts running. The mower will continue to run until

you release the switch lever.

5. Release the switch lever to stop the motor.

6. When not in use, remove the lock key. Store the lock

key in a safe place out of reach of children.

Adjusting the mowing height (Fig. 10)

WARNING:

• Never put your hand or leg under the mower unit when

adjusting the mowing height.

• Always make sure that the lever fits in the groove prop-

erly before operation.

The mowing height can be adjusted in the range of

between 20 mm – 75 mm.

1. Remove the lock key.

2. Pull the mowing height adjusting lever toward your-

self and move it to your desired mowing height.

Make sure that the protrusion on the mowing height

adjusting lever fits in the groove in the mower.

NOTE:

• The mowing height figures should be used just as a

guideline, as the state of the lawn or ground may cause

lawn height to be slightly different to the set height fig-

ure.

• Try a test mowing of grass in a less conspicuous place

to get your desired height.

Battery protection system

Lithium-ion batteries are equipped with a protection sys-

tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the tool

to extend battery life.

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the

tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following

conditions:

• Overloaded:

The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw

an abnormally high current.

In this situation, release the trigger switch on the tool

and stop the application that caused the tool to become

overloaded. Then pull the trigger switch again to

restart.

If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In

this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the trig-

ger switch again.

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool

will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge

the battery.

Battery remaining capacity indicator (only for

models with Battery BL3622A) (Fig. 11)

Battery BL3622A is equipped with the battery remaining

capacity indicator.

Press the CHECK button to indicate the battery remain-

ing capacity. The indicator lamps will then light for

approx. three seconds.

• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the

“E”) blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,

the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not

operate. In these cases, charge the battery or replace

the empty battery with a fully charged one.

• When two or more indicator lamps do not light even

after charging is complete, the battery has reached the

end of its service life.

• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps light

alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned. Con-

tact your local Makita authorized service center.

NOTE:

• The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual

level during use or immediately after using the tool.

• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient

temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the

actual capacity.
