Installing The Handle - Makita BLM430 Instruction Manual

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.
Battery protection system
Lithium-ion batteries are equipped with a protection
system. 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 trigger 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)
Battery BL3622A is equipped with the battery remaining
capacity indicator.

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.
Contact 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.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always be sure that the lock key and battery
•
cartridge are removed before carrying out any
work on the mower. Failure to remove the lock
key and the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
Never start the tool unless it is completely
•
assembled. Operation of the tool in a partially
assembled state may result in serious personal
injury from accidental start-up.

Installing the handle

WARNING:
When installing handles, position the wires so that
•
they are not caught by anything in between the
