Adjusting the mowing height

WARNING:

Never put your hand or leg under 

the mower body when adjusting the mowing 

height.

WARNING:

Always make sure that the lever 

fits in the groove properly before operation.

The mowing height can be adjusted in the range of 

between 20 mm and 100 mm.
Remove the lock key, and then pull the mowing height 

adjusting lever outward of the mower body and move it 

to your desired mowing height.

NOTE:

 The mowing height figures should be used 

just as a guideline. Depending on the conditions of 

the lawn or the ground, the actual lawn height may 

become slightly different from the set height.

NOTE:

 Try a test mowing of grass in a less conspicu-

ous place to get your desired height.

Grass level indicator

Grass level indicator shows the volume of mowed 

grass. When the grass basket is not full, the indicator 

floats while the blades are running.

not float while the blades are running. In this case, stop 

the operation immediately and empty the basket.

 Speed lever

The traveling speed can be adjusted with the speed 

lever. To decrease the speed, pull the lever toward you, 

and to increase the speed, turn the lever forward.

Using mulching plug

The mulching plug allows you to return the cut grass to 

the ground without gathering the cut grass in the grass 

basket. When you operate the machine with the mulch-

ing plug, be sure to remove the grass basket.

NOTICE:

When using the machine with the 

mulching plug, make sure that the total length of 

grass after cutting is 30 mm or more, and the cut 

length is 15 mm or less.

Using discharge attachment

For DLM530/DLM532

The discharge attachment allows you to discharge 

the cut grass to the ground from the right side of the 

machine without gathering the cut grass in the grass 

basket. When you operate the machine with the dis-

charge attachment, be sure to install the mulching plug 

and remove the grass basket.

Electronic function

The machine is equipped with the electronic functions 

for easy operation.
• 

Constant speed control of blade rotation

Electronic speed control for obtaining constant 

speed. Possible to get fine finish, because the 

rotating speed is kept constant even under load 

condition.

• 

Soft start at driving

The soft-start function minimizes start-up shock, 

and makes the machine start smoothly.

• 

Electric brake

This machine is equipped with an electric brake. 

If the machine consistently fails to quickly stop 

the mower blades after releasing the switch lever, 

have the machine serviced at Makita Authorized
