Maintenance - Makita LM2350 Instruction Manual

• Periodically check the level of the grass basket, and
empty before it becomes full.
NOTE:
• Using the electric lawn mower with the grass basket full
prevents smooth blade rotation and places an extra
load on the motor, which may cause breakdown.
Mowing a long-grass lawn
• Do not try to cut long grass all in one go. Instead, mow
the lawn in stages, leaving it for a day or two between
mows, until the lawn is evenly short.

NOTE:
• Mowing long grass to a short length all in one go may
cause the grass to die and/or block up the inside of the
main unit.
Transporting
CAUTION:
When carrying the electric lawn mower, make sure the
blade is on the outside (away from your body).
• Failure to do so may cause injury.
• To carry the electric lawn mower, secure the handle,
and carry as shown in the figure.
Storing
WARNING:
Be careful not to trap fingers between handle and lock
lever when storing away the electric lawn mower.
• If fingers do become trapped, it may cause injury.
Make sure that the handle is properly secured into the
handle stoppers on both sides of the top of the main
unit.
