Use

Intended Use

• The product is intended for cutting grass.
• The product is only intended for household use, not for commercial use.

How to Use

• The lawn mower can cut grass up to 10 cm high.
• Mow the lawn regularly – the grass will grow faster and become thicker and more resistant if it is kept short, unless the climate is very dry.
• Mow the lawn with a relatively high mowing height first, and then gradually reduce the height. A mowing height of about 2.5 cm gives the lawn a well-mown look.
• Only cut the grass when it is relatively dry.
• Mow in a straight line with an overlap of a few centimetres for best results.

Adjusting the Mowing Height

The lawn mower has four mowing heights, from 15 to 35 mm. Adjust the mowing height by pulling out the spring-loaded pins (A) on both sides and moving them to the required positions.

Maintenance

• Follow the maintenance instructions for best functionality and useful life.
• Clean the product with a brush or cloth after use.
• Check that all screw unions are properly tightened at regular intervals.
• Replace damaged or worn parts immediately.
• Clean and lubricate all the screw unions and moving parts, such as the wheels and axles, at regular intervals for best functionality and life span.
• The blade drum is subjected to heavy wear. Check at regular intervals the condition of the blade and that the blade drum is firmly in place.
• Contact the retailer if the blade is blunt and needs to be replaced. Only use spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.

Adjusting the Fixed Blade

WARNING!

Wear safety gloves.

Undo the adjust nuts (10 mm) on each side and adjust the fixed blade to the required position. The blade is correctly adjusted if a sheet of paper placed between the drum and the blade is cut by turning the wheels forward by hand.

NOTE:

The blade should only be adjusted before using for the first time and when the blade is worn.
