  Your Makita Lawn Mower might not start due to several reasons: * Two battery cartridges might not be installed. If this is the case, install two charged battery cartridges. * There might be a battery problem (under voltage). Try to recharge the battery cartridge, and if that doesn't work, replace it. * The lock key might not be inserted. Make sure to insert the lock key. * The battery selection switch might not be in the correct position.

  If the motor of your Makita Lawn Mower stops running after a short period, it could be due to: a low battery charge level, in which case you should recharge the battery cartridge (and replace it if recharging isn't effective); a cutting height that is too low, so increase it; or cut grass clogged in the mower, so remove the clogged grass.
