Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum)
determined according to EN60335:
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
ENG901-1
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool
with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared emission
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product
using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical
attention right away. It may result in loss of
your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water
or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 ﾟC (122 ﾟF).
7.
Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before
completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 ﾟC - 40 ﾟC (50 ﾟF - 104 ﾟF).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.

actuates properly and returns to the original
position when released. Operating a tool with a
switch that does not actuate properly can lead to
loss of control and serious personal injury.

• Trying to mow much grass at a time may not allow
the motor to start due to the overload. At this time,
change the mowing height to higher level to restart.
• The mower does not start without pressing the
switch button even if the switch lever is squeezed.
This mower is equipped with the interlock switch and
handle switch. If you notice anything unusual with either
of these switches, stop operation immediately and have
them checked by your nearest Makita Authorized
Service Center.

NOTE:
• The mowing height figures should be used just as
a guideline, as the state of the lawn or ground may
cause lawn height to be slightly different to the set
height figure.
• Try a test mowing of grass in a less conspicuous
place to get your desired height.
Battery protection system
Lithium-ion batteries are equipped with a protection
system. This system automatically cuts off power to the
tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the trigger switch on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
trigger switch again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the trigger switch again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
Battery remaining capacity indicator
(only for models with Battery BL3622A)
Battery BL3622A is equipped with the battery remaining
capacity indicator.

011713
• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the
“E”) blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,
the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not
operate. In these cases, charge the battery or
replace the empty battery with a fully charged one.
• When two or more indicator lamps do not light
even after charging is complete, the battery has
reached the end of its service life.
• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps
light alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.
Contact your local Makita authorized service center.
NOTE:
• The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual
level during use or immediately after using the tool.
• Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ
slightly from the actual capacity.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the lock key and battery
cartridge are removed before carrying out any
work on the mower. Failure to remove the lock
key and the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
• Never start the tool unless it is completely
assembled. Operation of the tool in a partially
assembled state may result in serious personal
injury from accidental start-up.
Installing the handle
WARNING:
• When installing handles, position the wires so that
they are not caught by anything in between the

OPERATION
Mowing
WARNING:
• Before mowing, clear away sticks and stones from
mowing area. Furthermore, clear away any weeds
from mowing area in advance.
• Always wear the safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields when operating the mower.
Firmly hold the lawn mower handle with both hands
when mowing.
The front wheel outside edges of the main unit provide a
guideline to mowing width. Using the two front wheel
outside edges as a guideline, mow in strips, overlapping
by one half to one third the previous strip, to mow the
lawn evenly.
Periodically check the level of the grass basket, and
empty before it becomes full. Before every periodical
checks, be sure to stop the mower and remove the lock
key and the battery cartridge.
NOTE:
• Using the lawn mower with the grass basket full
prevents smooth blade rotation and places an extra
load on the motor, which may cause breakdown.
Mowing a long-grass lawn
012382
Do not try to cut long grass all in one go. Instead, mow
the lawn in stages, leaving it for a day or two between
mows, until the lawn is evenly short.
NOTE:
• Mowing long grass to a short length all in one go
may cause the grass to die and/or block up the
inside of the main unit.
Emptying the grass basket
WARNING:
• To reduce a risk of accident, regularly check the
grass basket for any damage or weakened
strength and replace it if necessary.
1. Release the switch lever.
2. Remove the lock key.

cartridge are removed from the mower before
storage or attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Wear gloves when performing inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
