4. Battery Charging and Insertion
Fully charge the 20V 4.0Ah battery before first use. Insert the charged battery into the battery compartment on the mower until it clicks into place. Ensure the battery is seated correctly.
5. Adjusting Cutting Height
The mower offers 5 cutting height positions, adjustable from 0.98" to 2.56" in 0.395" increments. Use the height adjustment lever located near the wheels to select the desired cutting height. For best results, avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.

For optimal cutting, push the mower at a steady, moderate pace. Overlapping each pass slightly ensures an even cut. Mow in straight lines for a uniform appearance. The 13-inch cutting width allows for efficient coverage of small to medium-sized lawns.

Maintenance
1. Blade Care
The mower is equipped with a durable manganese steel blade. Regularly inspect the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting performance and strain the motor. Replace the blade if it is bent, cracked, or excessively worn. Always disconnect the battery before inspecting or replacing the blade.

2. Cleaning
After each use, disconnect the battery and clean the mower deck and grass collection bag. Remove any accumulated grass clippings, dirt, or debris. Do not use water directly on electrical components. Use a damp cloth or brush for cleaning.
3. Battery Care
Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store the battery in a discharged state for extended periods. Charge the battery fully before storage and periodically during long storage periods.
4. Storage
For compact storage, the handle can be fully collapsed. Store the mower in a dry, protected area. Ensure the battery is removed before storing for extended periods.
