BATTERY GAUGE
NOTE: BATTERY GAUGE IS NOT ACTIVE IN CHARGING MODE. GAUGE IS ACTIVATED ONLY WHEN MOWER IS RUNNING.
Your new Black & Decker Cordless Lawnmower has a gauge to provide you with information on your battery state of charge. While operating
the mower, the gauge constantly senses and displays the battery condition as follows:
When the needle is pointing in the green area H-1, the battery is in a highly charged condition.
When the needle is pointing in the red area H-2, the battery charge is depleted.
Before using your new mower for the first time, it is recommended that the unit be charged overnight to ensure that the battery is fully charged.
When you first start your mower, the battery gauge should point in the green area, indicating a fully charged battery.
As you use your mower, you will notice that the needle in the battery gauge drops slowly as the battery discharges.
NOTE: WHILE CUTTING GRASS WITH YOUR CORDLESS MOWER, IT IS NORMAL FOR THE BATTERY GAUGE NEEDLE TO FLUCTUATE
SOMEWHAT AS THE CUTTING CONDITIONS CHANGE.
When your battery gauge needle points consistently in the red area, your battery is now discharged, even though the mower may still be capable
of cutting grass. Continuing to operate your lawnmower with the battery in this discharged condition may reduce the life and performance of
your batteries.
THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM RUN TIME FROM YOUR CORDLESS MOWER:
1) Slow down in areas where the grass is especially long or thick.
2) When mulching, avoid cutting more than 1-1/2 inches off the length at any one time.
3) Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew-soaked.
4) Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high growth periods.
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR MOWER BE RECHARGED AFTER USE, REGARDLESS OF THE POSITION OF THE BATTERY GAUGE
NEEDLE. FREQUENT CHARGING WILL NOT HARM YOUR BATTERY, AND WILL ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND READY
FOR ITS NEXT USE.
