Greenworks LM4602S 48V Self-Propelled Cordless Lawnmower (Bare Tool)

What size lawn can this mower handle on a single charge?

The coverage depends on your battery choice. With two 24V 2Ah batteries, you can mow up to 220m². Upgrading to two 24V 4Ah batteries extends this to 440m². Runtime also varies with grass conditions, cutting height and terrain difficulty. Dense or wet grass will reduce coverage compared to dry, well-maintained lawns.

Are batteries included with this lawnmower?

No, this is sold as a bare tool without batteries or charger. You need to purchase two compatible Greenworks 24V batteries separately. The system accepts both 2Ah and 4Ah batteries, which are interchangeable across the entire Greenworks 24V tool range, making it cost-effective if you already own other Greenworks tools.

How does the self-propelled system work?

The self-propelled drive engages automatically when you squeeze the bail arm on the handle. The system maintains a consistent walking pace, reducing physical effort significantly. You simply guide the direction whilst the mower propels itself forward. This feature is particularly beneficial on slopes or when cutting thick grass that would normally require more pushing force.

Can I use this mower for mulching without the grass bag?

Yes, the 3-in-1 system allows pure mulching operation. Remove the grass collection bag and ensure the rear discharge chute is closed. The cutting deck will finely chop grass clippings and distribute them back onto the lawn surface, providing natural fertilisation and moisture retention for healthier grass growth.

What's the difference between this 48V model and standard 24V mowers?

The 48V system uses two 24V batteries working together, providing double the power and extended runtime compared to single 24V models. This translates to better performance in thick grass, longer cutting sessions and the ability to handle larger lawn areas. The dual battery setup also ensures consistent power delivery throughout the entire cutting session.

How much assembly is required out of the box?

Assembly involves attaching the handle sections, installing the grass collection bag and inserting the batteries. Most users complete setup within 30-45 minutes using basic tools. The instruction manual provides clear step-by-step guidance and no specialist tools are required. The cutting deck and wheels come pre-assembled from the factory.

Is this mower suitable for wet grass cutting?

While the mower can handle slightly damp grass, cutting wet grass is not recommended for optimal results. Wet clippings tend to clump and may clog the cutting deck or collection system. For best performance and lawn health, mow when grass is dry. The large rear wheels do provide good traction on damp ground conditions.

What maintenance does this cordless mower require?

Maintenance is minimal compared to petrol mowers. Clean the cutting deck after each use, check blade sharpness periodically and keep battery contacts clean. The brushless motor requires no maintenance. Blade replacement is straightforward when needed, typically after 2-3 seasons depending on usage. Store in a dry location and charge batteries regularly during winter storage.
