Blade Sharpening (Fig. EE)
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A DULL
BLADE DOES NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY.

WARNING: Use gloves and proper eye protection while
removing, sharpening, and installing blades. Ensure that
safety key and battery pack are removed.
Sharpening the blades 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
BLaDEs IMMEDIaTELY.
When Sharpening a Blade:
• Make sure blade remains balanced.
• Sharpen blades at the original cutting angle.
• Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing
equal amounts of material from both ends.

Cleaning (Fig. A)

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear approved eye protection and
approved dust mask when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in
these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and
mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
• Release bail handle
come to a stop.
• Remove the battery pack and safety key.
• Clean out any clippings which may have accumulated on
the underside of the deck. Do not spray with water or any
other liquids.
• After several uses, check all exposed fasteners for tightness.
Corrosion (Fig. A)
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you mow in areas
where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the mower
should be cleaned immediately afterward as follows:
Release bail handle
and safety key. Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: Do not pour or spray water on the mower
in an attempt to clean it. Do not store the tool on or
adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such storage can cause
rapid corrosion.
