Turn on the mower and start mowing at your preferred speed, which can vary from 1.5 MPH to 3 MPH. You can choose to mulch, bag, or side - discharge the grass according to your needs. When it comes to maintenance, keep the mower clean after each use. Wipe off any grass clippings and debris, especially from the battery contacts. Check the blade regularly for sharpness and replace it if it's dull. Make sure to store the mower in a dry place. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to avoid damaging the tool. The mower has a 3 - year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger, so if you encounter any problems, you can reach out to the customer service. Also, note that the mower is IPX4 weather - resistant, but it's still better to avoid using it in heavy rain to ensure its long - term durability.
