FAQs
What is the recommended lawn size for this mower?
This Makita 380mm cordless lawn mower is recommended for lawns up to 560m².
How long do the 6.0Ah batteries typically last?
Runtime varies based on grass length, density, and cutting height. For typical suburban lawns, the 6.0Ah batteries should provide sufficient power to complete mowing up to the recommended area of 560m².
Can I use different capacity 18V LXT batteries?
Yes, you can use other Makita 18V LXT batteries, but using batteries of the same capacity (e.g., two 6.0Ah batteries) is recommended for balanced power and runtime.
Is assembly required?
Minimal assembly is typically required, mainly involving attaching the grass box and unfolding the handle. Batteries need to be charged and inserted.
How do I adjust the cutting height?
The cutting height can be adjusted using the single lever located on the side of the mower deck, offering 13 different positions.
What is the warranty period?
Makita typically offers a warranty on their power equipment and batteries. Please refer to the product manual or Makita's official website for the specific warranty terms and duration for this model.
Troubleshooting
Mower does not start.
Ensure both batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check if the battery capacity warning lamp is illuminated. Verify the safety key is in place (if applicable).
Reduced cutting performance.
Check if the grass box is full and empty it. Inspect the cutting blade for dullness or damage and sharpen/replace if necessary. Ensure the cutting height is not set too low for the grass conditions.
Batteries not charging.
Ensure the charger is plugged into a working outlet. Clean the battery terminals and the charger contacts. Try charging one battery at a time if using a single-port charger (though a dual-port is provided).
Uneven cut.
Verify that the cutting height is set uniformly across all settings. Ensure the mower is moving at a consistent speed. Check for debris or unevenness on the cutting deck.
