Don’t overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times. Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping. If you feel you are losing your footing, release the control handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds. I invested in the mower/two battery kit, the string trimmer and the leaf blow. Due to health issues, I had been paying for my lawn to be mowed for over a decade, so the initial investment was large (~$1,000), but when I did the math, the ROI would be one year .
Never operate the mower with damaged safety devices. Remove the battery pack from the mower before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the mower accidentally. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the battery pack, picking up or carrying the mower. Carrying the mower with your finger on the switch or energizing the mower that has the switch on invites accidents. The cutting blade must be approximately parallel to the ground.
HOWEVER, if I had to buy an electric mower this is one that I would seriously consider.Compared to other electric mowers like the Sun Joe, Ryobi, or the Dewalt, this one has a tad more experience.

For the record, battery life with the 60V 5.0 Ah for me was exactly 36 minutes on a full charge. That’s with a normal cut using self-propelled for the entire mowing. This makes the mower good for smaller to medium-sized lawns.
Off the clock, his faith and love for his family are his top priorities, and you’ll typically find him in the kitchen, on his bike (he’s an Ironman), or taking folks out for a day of fishing on Tampa Bay. It has a flip-top cap that’s easy to grip with your finger and thumb even when you’re wearing gloves. The translucent window to view your oil level is a little tough to see through. It’s okay in bright sunshine, just not in the shade.
A fully depleted battery needs about 30 minutes to full recharge. The first thing to consider when looking for a self-propelled lawnmower is what kind of yard you have. The size and shape of your yard, as well as the kind of grass you have and the amount of slope on your lawn will affect what kind of lawn mower you need. For example, if you have a flat lawn, then you may want to consider a front-wheel drive lawn mower, instead of a rear-wheel drive lawn mower which is better for sloped yards.
With an extra battery on hand, you can now rip through grass in the neighborhood without the hassle of gas. The 2AH battery charges within 30 minutes so you can get back to work and finish that job. Walk-behind push-mowers are powered by your strength, where you move them by pushing them over the grass you want you cut.
