Operation
1. Battery Charging
Before first use, fully charge the 80V 6.0Ah battery using the included charger. The charger indicator lights will show the charging status. A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of run time, capable of cutting over 1/2 acre of grass.
2. Adjusting Cutting Height
The mower offers a single-lever, 5-position height adjustment, ranging from 1.18 inches to 3 inches. To adjust, pull the height adjustment lever outwards and move it to the desired position. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height.

To start the mower, ensure the battery is inserted and the safety key is in place. Follow these steps:
- Long press the start button until the green light illuminates.
- Press and hold the lawn mower wrench (mowing trigger) while simultaneously holding the start button.
- Release the start button once the blade begins to turn. Continue holding the mowing trigger to operate the mower.

4. Stopping the Mower
Release the mowing trigger to stop the mower. The blade will cease rotation within a few seconds. Always remove the safety key when finished mowing or when leaving the mower unattended.
5. Mowing Tips

6. 3-in-1 Functionality
The mower supports three cutting modes:
- Rear Bagging: Attach the grass collection bag to collect clippings.
- Mulching: Remove the grass bag and side discharge chute. The mower will finely cut and redistribute clippings back onto the lawn.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your lawn mower. Always remove the safety key and battery before performing any maintenance.
1. Cleaning
- After each use, clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup, which can affect cutting performance.
- Wipe down the exterior of the mower with a damp cloth. Do not use water jets or high-pressure washers directly on electrical components.
2. Blade Care
- Periodically inspect the cutting blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting quality and increased battery drain.
- If the blade is dull, have it sharpened by a qualified service technician. If the blade is bent or cracked, it must be replaced.
- When replacing the blade, ensure the replacement blade is the correct model for PS76821.
3. Battery Storage
- Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to maintain its health.
