Operation Operation
Adjusting the height
Depending on the length of grass you are cutting you may want
to adjust the cutting height of the lawnmower. This can be done
by raising or lowering the cutting height roller.
To adjust the cutting height, pull the cutting height adjustment
knobs on both sides away from the mower body, and then move
them forward or backward to adjust the cutting height (Fig L).
Make sure the knobs are in the same height on both sides.
Mowing
1. Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the
underbody of the product, preventing the proper grass
collection and it could also cause you to slip and fall.
2. Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the
grass for a healthy lawn. In the autumn, lawns should only be
cut as long as there is growth.
3. Slowly push the product forward.
4. Mow in slightly overlapping rows. The most effective pattern
for mowing lawns is straight lines. This will keep the rows
even and ensures that all the lawn is cut without missing any
spots.
5. Circle around flower beds. When reaching a flower bed
in the middle of the lawn, cut a row or two around the
circumference of the bed.
6. Pay special attention when changing direction.
Cleaning
NOTICE!
RISK OF DAMAGE!
Improper handling of the push mower may result in
damage. Using an unsuitable cleaner could damage the
surface of the push mower.
−Do not use any aggressive cleaners, brushes with
metal or nylon bristles, sharp or metallic cleaning
utensils such as knives, hard scrapers and the like.
1. Clean the push mower with a damp cloth to remove all sap,
water and dirt.
2. Then let all parts dry completely.
Ensure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or
other objects which could damage mower or user. The
operation of mower can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes
severely. Always wear safety glasses while operating
the mower.

Maintenance Tips:
− Push mowers are relatively low maintenance. For consistent
cutting follow the below instructions.
− Always keep the cutting bar properly adjusted. Refer to the
instruction manual for further directions.
− Regularly clean and lubricate the cutting edges with light
spray oil.
IMPORTANT:
Push mowers have difficulty cutting tall weeds such as
dandelions which may cause the weeds to bend
WARNING!
Only perform the steps described within these
instructions! All further inspection, maintenance and
repair work must be performed by an authorised service
centre or a similarly qualified specialist if you cannot
solve the problem yourself!
Maintenance Tips Cleaning
Cleaning
WARNING!
Mower blades are sharp. Wear gloves and use extra
caution when servicing them. Any wheel rotation can
cause the blade to rotate.
Do not over-tighten adjustment screws as this could
damage the cutting bar. Screws must be tight on final
adjustment.
The blade is adjusted for proper clearance from the cutting bar
at the factory. However, after extended periods of mowing or as
part of annual maintenance, it is recommended that the blade
clearance be readjusted .
− If blade clearance is too wide the cutting pattern will be rough
and uneven.
− If blade clearance is too narrow, the machine will be noisy and
difficult to push while operating.

WARNING:
Do not place hands in the mower near blades. If grass

brush and cloth before storing. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes.

Disposal
Disposing of the packaging
Dispose of the packaging separated into single type
materials. Dispose of cardboard and carton as waste
paper and foils via the recyclable material collection
service.
Disposing of old devices
(Applicable in the European Union and other European states
with systems for the separate collection of reusable waste
materials)
Old devices must not be disposed of with household
waste!
If the push mower can no longer be used, every user
is required by law to dispose of old devices separately
from their household waste, e.g. at a collection point in
his community/borough. This ensures that old devices
are recycled in a professional manner and also rules out
negative consequences for the environment.
