other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending

10.2 ADJUST THE MOWER BLADE
WARNING
Blades are extremely sharp. To avoid injury, do not touch
blades when making adjustments.
Adjustment screw
1. The misalignment of blades can cause an uneven cut or
difficulty pushing the mower.
2. Each end of the cutting bar is adjusted separately.
3. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to move the cutting
bar closer to the blades.
4. Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to move the
cutting bar away from the blades.
5. When the space equals the thickness of paper (0.12 mm),
insert a piece of paper between the blades and the cutter
bar, and quickly turn the wheel by hand.
CAUTION
It is a sensitive procedure to adjust the screws for blade
adjustments. A sixteenth of a turn is a major adjustment.
Βefore tightening one adjustment screw, loosen the opposite
screw an equal amount.
10.3 CHECK THE ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn the machine upside down.
2. Insert a piece of paper between cutter bar and reel blades,
and slowly turn wheel by hand.
Paper
Turn the wheel by hand
3. All blades must slice the paper evenly, along the entire
length of the cutter bar while the reel turns smoothly.
4. If the machine has an intermittent cut, adjust the blades to
the appropriate side to cut correctly.
WARNING
Do not overtighten adjustment screw as this could damage
cutter bar. Both screws must be tight on final adjustment.
10.4 OPERATION TIPS
WARNING
Make sure 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.
1. Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the
underbody of the product, preventing the proper
discharge of grass clippings and it cloud 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.
11 MAINTENANCE
• Minimum care is required to ensure smooth operation of
your mower.
• To avoid damage to mower or cutting blades, keep area to
be mowed free from debris.
• For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s
cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft and wheels.
11.1 SHARPEN THE CUTTING BLADES
1. Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the front
edge of the reel blades.
2. Adjust the cutter bar so that the blade has light but firm
contact across the full width of the cutter bar.
5
English EN

3. Turn the reel blades until the front edge of the cutter bar
blade is polished.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as this could
damage the cutter bar. Tighten both screws during final
adjustment.
WARNING
Clean any grinding compound or debris from the cutter bar
blade, reel blade, pinions and pawls.
NOTE
Use industrial or valve lapping compound between 100 and
240 grit. Lubricate the axle and pinion with a light file of
wheel bearing grease.
11.2 MAINTENANCE TIP
The machine is 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 lube cutting edges with light spray
oil.
CAUTION
The machine has a difficult time with tall weeds such as
dandelions which most times will cause the weeds to bend
instead of cut. Cut often to prevent long lengths.
12 CLEAN AND STORAGE
• Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft
brush and cloth before storing. Do not use water, solvents
or polishes.
• Turn the mower on its side to clean the blade area.
• Store the mower in a dry place. Do not place other objects
on top of the mower during storage.
WARNING
Do not place hands in the mower near blades. If grass
cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove using a
wood or plastic cleaning tool appropriate for the cleaning of
the blades.
