Black & Decker BCMW33184L2-QW Battery-powered Electric Lawn Mower - 36 V 4.0Ah

The Black & Decker BCMW33184L2-QW battery-powered electric lawn mower is the ideal product for the care of your garden. With its intuitive and user-friendly controls, this machine will make pleasant mowing your garden, without the hassle of an electric wire or a bulky and noisy petrol engine. This battery-powered electric lawn mower is perfect for the treatment of small / medium-sized lawns up to 500 s.q. m.

The electric lawn mower is equipped with 2 18 V 4.0Ah batteries. Moreover, the machine is provided with a battery charger, which will allow the Operator to use the lawn mower more frequently.

Very versatile and easy to use thanks to its low weight, the machine can be easily transported and stored in small spaces thanks to the foldable and removable handle.

The BCMW33184L2-QW model is equipped with a 33 cm cutting width and a 35 L grass collector.

The machine is a traditional 3 in 1 lawn mower, equipped with mulching system, rear discharge and grass collection mowing.

Traditional grass collection mowing:
35 L grass collector.

REAR DISCHARGE SYSTEM:
This system allows mowing without using the grass collector, discharging the grass clippings directly from the back of the lawn mower.

MULCHING CUTTING SYSTEM

To convert the machine for the mulching cut, simply remove the grass collector and enter the mulching plug supplied, which automatically activate the mulching cutting system.

WHAT IS MULCHING: This grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated and the grass needs cutting at least once a week.

The compartment of the 2 Black&Decker 4Ah batteries, supplied with the machine, is placed in the centre of the front part of the lawn mower.

Simply lift the cover and remove the batteries to recharge them with the dedicated fast charger supplied.

The 2 Black&Decker 18 V lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time (just like the batteries of modern smartphones, no memory effect) so they are always ready to use. They last on average 30 times more than a standard battery.

Focus on the safety key in the motor compartment.

Battery-powered electric motor advantages:

• This lawn mower is more reliable than a petrol one, thanks to its electric motor. No spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, etc ... or components which can cause problems.
• Very much lighter
• Zero maintenance
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engine models (great cutting results with minimal power required). Moreover, the Operator won’t have to refuel (the fuel should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, always thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all petrol powered machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibration, making the work really unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the Operator’s health.
• Much quieter and therefore pleasant to use than a petrol lawn mower.

Centralised cutting height adjustment by means of the proper lever: 5 cutting heights.

Minimum height: 25 mm
Maximum height: 65 mm

Wheels Size:
Front wheel: 135 mm
Rear wheel: 180 mm

Furthermore, this machine is equipped with mulching cutting system and rear discharge.

All the necessary controls to operate and move the lawn mower are placed on the handlebar:

• Ignition switch with safety system
• Plastic handlebar with soft-grip which ensures a high comfort during use.
• Adjustable handlebar.
• Height adjustable handlebar.

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than the nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium to large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE BATTERY: the charge of lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, whose power gradually decreases, lithium-ion battery cells maintain constant power throughout the cycle. The same charge for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full power until its complete exhaustion.

LONGER CHARGE LIFE: lithium-ion batteries have 3-4 times the number of recharges compared to conventional nickel-cadmium batteries, while offering longer storage times and less loss of charge. Lithium batteries can be recharged up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: lithium-ion batteries offer the best power-to-weight ratio. On average, they weigh on average 1/3 of nickel-cadmium batteries.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: lithium-ion battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they don't fail to provide maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
Few minutes of charge are enough to complete the operations.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low rate of charge loss (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your lawn mower will be ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: lithium-ion batteries chargers reduce energy consumption by an average of 35%.

The actual mowing area may be significantly lower than the value declared by the manufacturer, which is calculated under standard operating conditions with dry grass of medium to low height. When cutting tall or wild grass, not maintained in an English lawn style, as well as grass that is damp or particularly dense, the workload increases and the motor requires higher energy consumption, resulting in a reduction of the effective battery autonomy.

The value declared by the manufacturer is instead fully reliable under favorable mowing conditions, namely on a regularly maintained lawn with dry grass that is not excessively tall and not wild, corresponding to the standard conditions used in laboratory testing.

When mowing is carried out regularly, cutting a limited and well-maintained layer of grass, preferably in the afternoon when the lawn is almost free of moisture, operating performance may be in line with the declared figures and, in some cases, even higher than stated by the manufacturer.

The cutting mode also affects energy consumption: grass collection and mulching require greater blade effort compared to rear discharge. The condition of the blade also plays a role, as a dull edge increases friction and reduces the number of square meters that can be effectively mowed on a single charge.

Other factors depend on ground conditions. Slopes and uneven terrain require higher torque, and activation of the drive system (if present) leads to continuous energy absorption, significantly reducing effective working time. Non-ideal temperatures, battery age, and repeated restarts or tight maneuvers further reduce the available autonomy.

Under non-optimal operating conditions, the difference between the declared mowing area and the actual workable surface therefore originates from the increased load placed on the motor, blade, and drive system.

The following shows the achievable mowing areas based on the battery capacity used:

The lawn mower is designed and intended exclusively for cutting grass in garden areas (and not on other types of terrain). The surface must be level, free from irregularities, stones, or other solid objects, and covered with maintained lawn grass (therefore, not uncultivated or spontaneous vegetation). Grass should be cut regularly and must not be allowed to grow beyond 25–30 cm, as most lawn mowers are no longer capable of cutting at this height. Slopes exceeding 15% (equivalent to 9°) must be avoided, except when using 4x4 models.

For heavier-duty tasks involving spontaneous vegetation, grass taller than the above-mentioned limits, or rougher surfaces than a garden, please consider alternative product categories such as Petrol Flail Mowers or Brush Cutters.

Furthermore, grass must only be cut when both the lawn and the underlying soil are completely dry. Mowing should be carried out exclusively in dry weather, well away from periods of rain or irrigation, and preferably in the afternoon, when the grass is no longer affected by morning humidity. Wet grass tends to bend under the blades, which reduces cutting efficiency, increases the risk of clogging inside the deck, and subjects the engine to excessive strain.
