Troubleshooting
Mower won't start.
Check that both batteries are correctly installed and charged. Ensure the safety key is in place and the start button is engaged. Check the electric brake is not engaged.
Poor cutting performance.
Check the blade for sharpness and damage. Ensure the grass box is not overfilled. Adjust the cutting height as needed.
Mower stops suddenly.
Check the battery charge levels. Ensure the mower is not overloaded (cutting too much grass at once). Allow the motor to cool down before restarting if overloaded.
Grass box fills quickly.
Empty the grass box more frequently. Avoid mowing wet or excessively long grass, which can clog the chute.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cordless operation provides freedom of movement without the restriction of a power cord.

- As a bare tool, it doesn't include the necessary batteries and charger, requiring additional purchases.
