  If your Black & Decker Lawn Mower isn't running when you activate the bail handle, first ensure the safety key is fully installed and the button on the switch housing is completely depressed. Next, release the bail handle, remove the safety key and battery, and check if the blade can turn freely. Also, check that the battery cavity is free of debris and properly connected. Finally, verify that the battery is fully charged by plugging in the charger and waiting for the green light.

  If your Black & Decker Lawn Mower's cutting performance is unsatisfactory or it doesn't cut the entire lawn, start by checking if the battery is fully charged. Next, turn off the mower, remove the safety key and battery pack, and inspect the blade for sharpness and the deck/discharge chute for clogs. Also, the wheel height might be too low; try raising the cutting height to reduce drag. Ensure each wheel rotates freely.

  If your Black & Decker Lawn Mower isn't picking up clippings with the bag, it might be due to a clogged chute. Release the bail handle, remove the safety key and battery pack, and clear the chute of grass clippings. If you're cutting too much grass at once, raise the cutting height. Also, remember to empty the bag more often if it's full.
