Battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection

system. This system automatically cuts off power to the

motor to extend tool and battery life.

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the

tool or battery is placed under one of the following

conditions. In some conditions, the indicators light up.

Overload protection

When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to

draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically

stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the tool

off and stop the application that caused the tool to

become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops

automatically without any indications. The tool does not

start even if turning on the tool. In this situation, let the

tool or battery cool before turning the tool on again.

NOTE:

• The battery overheat protection works only with a

battery cartridge with a star marking. The tool overheat

protection system works with any battery cartridges.

(Fig. 4)

Overdischarge protection (Fig. 5)

When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the

battery indicator blinks on the applicable battery side. By

further use, the tool stops and the battery indicator lights

up about 10 seconds. In this situation, charge the battery

cartridge.

Power switch action

WARNING:

• Before installing 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 pulled.

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. Install the battery cartridges. Insert the lock key into

the interlock switch and then close the battery cover.

(Fig. 3)

2. Press the switch button.

3. Pull the switch lever toward you while pressing 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. (Fig. 6)

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. 7)

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

properly before operation.

The mowing height can be adjusted in the range of

between 25 mm – 75 mm.

1. Remove the lock key.

2. Pull the mowing height adjusting lever toward A

side. Move it to your desired mowing height level.

Make sure that the pins on the mowing height

adjusting lever fit in the holes and the lever returns

to B side.

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

figure.

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

to get your desired height.

• It is easier to move the mowing height adjusting lever

with holding the tool firmly. (Fig. 8)

Grass level indicator (Fig. 9)

Grass level indicator shows the volume of caught grass.

– When the grass basket is not full, the indicator

floats during mowing.

– When the grass basket is full, the indicator does

not float during mowing. In this case, stop

mowing immediately and empty the basket. After

emptying the basket, clean it so that its

meshwork vents the air.

NOTE:

• This indicator is rough guide. Depending on the

conditions of inside of the basket, this indicator may not

work properly.
