IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Never attempt to make a wheel height adjustment while the motor is running.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
■ Use caution when servicing blades. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves. Replace damaged blades.
Do not repair or alter blade(s).
■ Disconnect lawn mower. Disconnect the battery when not in use, before servicing, when changing
accessories such as blades.
■ Store idle lawn mower indoors. When not in use, lawn mower should be stored in an indoor dry and
locked-up place-out of reach of children.
■ Maintain lawn mower with care. Keep cutting edges sharp and clean for best and safest
performance.
■ Check the blade and the engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
■ Do not wash with a hose; avoid getting water in motor and electrical connections.
■ Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
■ Check grass collection bag frequently for deterioration and wear, and replace worn bags. Check that
replacement bags comply with the original manufacturer's recommendations or specifications.
■ Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced blade causes vibration that could damage
the motor drive unit or cause personal injury.
■ Clean the blade thoroughly and check its balance by supporting it horizontally on a thin nail through
its center hole. The nail should also be in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade rotates
downward, shave some metal from the heavy or lower end until the blade is balanced. It is balanced
when neither end drops.
■ Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
■ Keep guards in place and in working order.
■ Keep blades sharp.
■ Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.
■ Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. The lawn should
always be carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
■ If lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these steps:
- Stop lawn mower. Release the switch.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Inspect for damage.
- Repair any damage before restarting and operating the lawn mower.
■ When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
■ Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower away
from a wall or an obstruction, first look down and behind in order to avoid tripping, and then follow
these steps:
- Step back from the mower in order to fully extend your arms.
- Be sure that you are well balanced.
- Pull the mower back slowly.
BATTERY PACK
■ The battery pack is only compatible with 24LFC14-ETL, 24LFC02-ETL or 24LSC01-ETL chargers.
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer and listed in this manual. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■ Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
