Using your Makita CML01Z lawn mower is easy. First, if you're using the backpack power supply (PDC1200A01, sold separately), attach it to the mower. Then, turn on the mower and adjust the speed according to your needs. You can choose from 1.5 MPH to 3 MPH. Use the single lever to set the cutting height between 1-1/4 inches and 4 inches. When you start mowing, you can decide to mulch, bag, or side-discharge the grass with its 3-in-1 design. If you want to reduce noise, switch to the quiet mode. For maintenance, keep the mower clean after each use. Wipe off any grass clippings and debris. Check the large 9-inch wheels regularly and replace the rubber treads if they're worn out. Since the mower has IPX4 weather-resistant construction, it can handle some wet conditions, but avoid using it in heavy rain. Also, always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the Star Protection Computer Controls™ working properly. Remember, the batteries and charger are sold separately, and the mower comes with a 3-year limited warranty.
