Replace the grass catcher. u If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail handle to turn mower off and remove safety key. Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble. Do not operate mower until a service check has been made. Refer to troubleshooting guide in manual. u Always release bail handle to turn mower off when leaving it unattended even for a short period of time. Tips for optimum performance u Slow down in areas where the grass is especially long or thick. u Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew- soaked. u Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high growth periods. Note: It is recommended that your mower be recharged after use to prolong the battery life. Frequent charging will not harm your battery, and will ensure that the battery is fully charged and ready for its next use. Storing battery not fully charged will shorten battery life. Removing and installing blade Warning! When reassembling the blade system, ensure each part is reinstalled correctly, as described below. Improper assembly of the blade or other parts of the blade system may cause serious injury. Warning! Release bail handle to turn mower off, wait for the blade to stop, and unplug mower. u Cut a piece of 2x4 wood (14) (about 610 mm) to keep blade from turning while removing bolt (13). u Wear gloves and proper eye protection. u Turn the mower on its side. Be careful of sharp edges of blade. Position wood and unscrew bolt with 13mm wrench13 ENGLISH (Original instructions) (36) as shown in gure I. u Note the orientation of each part as you remove it. Remove bolt (15) and washer (16). Pull off blade (17) as shown in Figure J. Examine all pieces for damage and replace if necessary. u The blade can only be attached to the fan (20) in one direction. To reassemble, line up the D-shaped hole of the blade with the D-shaped post of the fan, ensuring the writing on the blade faces out away from the mower. u To tighten, position the piece of wood as shown in Figure K to keep the blade from turning. Slide the bolt through the washer and tighten the bolt clockwise into place with a 13mm wrench (13) as shown in Figure K. Blade sharpening Keep blade sharp for best mower performance. A dull blade does not cut grass cleanly. Use proper eye protection while removing, sharpening, and installing blade. Ensure that safety key and battery pack is removed. Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufcient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required. Note: Replace bent or damaged blade immediately. When sharpening the blade: u Make sure blade remains balanced. u Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle. u Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends. To sharpen blade in a vice (g. L) u Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped and the mower is unplugged before removing the blade. u Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing and installing blade. u Secure blade (17) in a vice. u Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be careful not to cut yourself. Carefully le the cutting edges of the blade with a ne tooth le or sharpening stone, maintaining the angle of the original cutting edge. Check balance of blade. See instructions for blade balanc- ing. u Replace blade on mower and tighten securely. Blade balancing Check balance of the blade (17) by placing centre hole in the blade over a nail or round shank screwdriver, clamped horizontally in a vice. If either end of the blade rotates down- ward, le along the sharp edge of that dropping end. Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops. Lubrication No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have plastic bearing surfaces which require no lubrication. Cleaning Release bail handle (2) to turn mower off, let the blade come to a stop. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any clippings which may have accumulated on the underside of the deck. After several uses, check all exposed fasteners for tightness. Preventing corrosion 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 (2) to turn mower off and unplug mower. Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth. Maintenance Your BLACK+DECKER corded/cordless appliance/tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory opera- tion depends upon proper tool/appliance care and regular cleaning. Warning! Before performing any maintenance on corded/ cordless power tools: u Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool. u Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and then switch off. u Unplug the charger before cleaning it. Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning. u Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool/appliance and charger using a soft brush or dry cloth. u Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner. u Regularly use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt from the underneath of the guard.
