READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING: Some dust created by power cutting contains chemicals known to
the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
◾Lead from lead-based paints
◾Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
◾Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.

SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS LAWN MOWER
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe
operation included in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness
or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This machine is capable
of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury. These
basic precautions include the following:
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the mower and mowing activity. They do not understand
the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
◾Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a
responsible adult other than the operator.
◾Be alert and turn the mower off if a child enters the area.
◾Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may obscure your vision of a child who may run into the mower.
◾Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a power mower. Children 14
years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and
safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent.
Only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation
should be allowed to use this machine.
OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION:
◾Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble
this machine. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in
the manuals before operation. Be completely familiar with the controls and proper
use of this machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for
future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS MOWER — LM2020SP/LM2020SP-FC/LM2020/LM2020-FC8
◾Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for
which it is intended. Your lawn mower has been designed to perform only one job:
to mow grass.
◾Don’t overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
◾Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons.
The lawn should always be carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to
each mowing.
◾Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and
pets.
◾Before and while moving backwards with the mower, look behind and down for
small children and other people.
◾Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
◾This machine is a precise piece of power equipment, not a plaything. Therefore,
exercise extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been designed to perform one
job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any other purpose.
◾Don’t force the lawn mower – it will do the job better and more safely at the rate
for which it was designed.
◾Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all
stones, sticks, wire, toys and other foreign objects that could be tripped over or
picked up and thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury.
◾Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against walls or
obstructions, which may cause discharged material to ricochet back toward the
operator.
◾To help avoid blade contact or an injury from thrown objects, stay in the operator
zone behind the handles and keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at
least 100 feet (30m) from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the machine if
anyone enters the area.
◾Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects that
ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust mask if
the operation is dusty.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS MOWER — LM2020SP/LM2020SP-FC/LM2020/LM2020-FC 9
◾Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-tting slacks and
shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are
recommended. Never operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or
lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.
◾Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact
with the blade can amputate hands and feet.
◾A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or injuries from
thrown objects.
◾Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a
fall caused by slipping or tripping. Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling;
immediately release the handle.
◾Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back
the mower away from a wall or obstruction, rst look down and behind you to
avoid tripping, and then follow these steps:
◾Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
◾Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
◾Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way toward you.
◾Repeat these steps as needed.
◾Do not operate the mower while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
◾Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
lawn mower when you are tired.
◾The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its
operation. Doing so makes the safety device inoperative and may result in personal
injury through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade control handle
must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged
position when released.
◾Avoid dangerous environments – Don’t use lawn mowers in damp or wet
locations so as to avoid slipping and falling during operation.
◾Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury.
If you feel you are losing your footing, release the motor/blade control handle
immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
◾Mow only in daylight or good articial light. Walk, never run while operating.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS MOWER — LM2020SP/LM2020SP-FC/LM2020/LM2020-FC10
◾Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
◾If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the motor,
remove the battery and check for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
◾Before cleaning the machine, unclogging the chute or removing or replacing the
grass bag, mulching insert, or side discharge chute, 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.
◾Never operate the mower without the proper trailing shield, discharge cover,
grass bag, mulching insert, side discharge chute, motor/blade control handle or
other safety protective devices in place and working. Never operate the mower
with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
◾If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good
judgment. Contact EGO Customer Service for assistance.
◾Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:

OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe
injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do
not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge on page 22 to measure slopes before
operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do
not mow it.
Do:
◾Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS MOWER — LM2020SP/LM2020SP-FC/LM2020/LM2020-FC 11
◾Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip
or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do not:
◾Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing
or balance.
◾Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees, as shown on the slope gauge.
◾Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
SERVICE
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, listed in this manual.
◾If the mower’s built-in overload protection switch frequently trips, contact EGO
Customer Service or your closest EGO service center.
◾Do not wash the mower with a hose; avoid getting water in the motor and
electrical connections.
◾Remove the battery and store the idle lawn mower in a covered area when not in
use. Allow 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.
◾When servicing, use only identical replacement parts listed in this manual. Use of
parts that do not meet the original equipment specications may lead to improper
performance and compromised safety.
◾Remove or disconnect the battery pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing
material from the lawn mower.
◾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, as listed in this manual.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS MOWER — LM2020SP/LM2020SP-FC/LM2020/LM2020-FC12
◾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 and use extra caution when servicing it.
◾Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
◾Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Regularly check their proper
