WARNING
Grass bag components, the discharge cover, side discharge chute,
mulching insert and trailing shield are subject to wear and damage, which
could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown and could increase the risk of injury.
For safety protection, frequently check all components and replace damaged components
immediately with identical replacement parts. Contact SKIL Customer Service for assistance.

Do not wash the mower with a hose; Avoid getting water in the motor and electrical
connections.

Before cleaning the machine, turn the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, then remove the battery pack. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are
sure the blade has stopped rotating. Then unclog the chute or remove or replace the grass
bag, or mulching insert.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

To reduce a re hazard, keep the motor cover free of grass, leaves and debris build-up.
•
Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,
visually inspect the blade for damage (e.g., bending, cracking and wear.). Replace the blade
only with the identical replacement blade.

Maintain your mower with care – keep the mower blade sharp and clean for the best and
safest performance. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear gloves

the motor to cool before storing it in any enclosure. The lawn mower should be stored in a
dry, high, or locked-up enclosure, out of reach of children.
