While mulching, your new mower is designed
to cut the grass clippings into small pieces
and distribute them back into the lawn.
Under normal conditions, the mulched grass
will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients
to the lawn. Please review the following
recommendations for optimum mulching
performance.
1) Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from
rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps which
interfere with the mulching action and reduce
runtime. The best time to mow grass is in the
late afternoon when the grass is dry and the
newly cut area will not be exposed to direct
16 16
sunlight.
2) For best mulching performance, set the
cutting height to remove about one third of
the grass blade length, ideally no more than
38mm at one time. If the lawn is overgrown,
it may be necessary to increase the cut height
to reduce the pushing effort and prevent
overloading the motor. For extremely heavy
mulching, it is advisable to first cut at a high
cut height setting, and then re-cut to the final
cut height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and
mow slowly.
3) For best performance, keep the mower
housing free of built-up grass. From time to
time turn off mower and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then unplug
the safety key and turn mower on its side.
Using an object such as a stick, wipe out any
accumulation of grass in the blade area. Be
careful of the sharp edges of the blade. Clean
often in wet, new grass, and always after every
use.
4) Certain types of grass or grass conditions
may require that an area be mulched a second
time to fully disperse the grass throughout the
Cordless Li-ion handy saw
lawn. If cutting a second time, it is advisable to
cut perpendicular (across) the first cut pattern.
DO NOT CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY
THAT WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN AHILL.
5) Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn.

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, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS
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:
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.
