WARNING:
Before inserting the battery cartridge in the
•
tool, always check to see that the switch lever
actuates properly and returns to the original
position when released. Operating a tool with a
switch that does not actuate properly can lead to
loss of control and serious personal injury.
NOTE:
Trying to mow much grass at a time may not allow
•
the motor to start due to the overload. At this time,
change the mowing height to higher level to restart.
The mower does not start without pressing the
•
switch button even if the switch lever is squeezed.
This mower is equipped with the interlock switch and
handle switch. If you notice anything unusual with either
of these switches, stop operation immediately and have
