SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Slope Operation
Children
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents,which can
result in severe injury.Operation on slopes requires extra caution.If
you feel uneasy on a slope,do not mow it.If the slope is greater that 15
degrees,do not mow it.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
small children.Children are often attracted to the mower and the mowing
activity.Children younger than 10 years-old do not understand the
dangers.Never assume that children will remain where last saw them.
Keep children younger than 10 years-old out of the mowing area and
under watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Be alert and stop mowing if a child or others enter the area.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,doorways,shrubs,tre
es,or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child who may run
into the mower.
Never allow children under 10 years of age to operate this machine.
Children 10 and over should read and understand the instructions and
safe operation practices in this manual and on the machine and be
trained and supervised an adult.
Mow across the face of slopes,never up and down.Exercise caution
when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes,ruts,rocks,hidden objects,or bumps which can cause
you to slip or trip.Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Always be sure of your footing.A slip and fall can cause serious
personal injury.
Do not mow near drop-offs,ditches or embankments,you could lose
your footing or balance.
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
Do not mow on wet grass.Unstable footing could cause slipping.

To adjust cutting height, pull knob out and rotate to desired setting.
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks,wire,or other objects which
could damage lawn mower or engine.
Mow the mower when the grass is relatively dry.Attempting to mow
wet grass can result in an uneven cut.
Maintain a consistent walking pace while pushing the mower in
straight passes.
Slightly overlap each pass to even the cut and avoid leaving uncut
strips.
Mow the lawn regularly,at least once a week during the growing
season.Mow more frequently than you would with a conventional
rotary lawn mower.
Always mow with the blade height adjusted to cut no more than
1/3 the total height of grass.
If the height of your lawn's grass exceeds four inches,adjust
the blade height to its highest position before mowing.After
mowing,readjust the blade to your preferred cutting height and
mow the lawn a second time within the next one or two days.

OPERATION
ENGLISH

12
Attach grass catcher following instructions in the Assembly section.
Grass clippings will automatically collect in catcher as you operate
the mower.The faster you push the mower,the more effectively it will
collect clippings.Operate the mower until grass catcher is full.
Remove the grass catcher's strap from the lower handle's crossbar
and lift the grass catcher up and away from the mower to remove
the bag.Dispose of the grass clippings and reinstall the bag when
complete.
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.
Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the front edge of the reel
blades.
Adjust the cutter bar so that the blade has light but firm contact
across the full width of the cutter bar.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten adjusting screws, as this could
damage the cutter bar. Tighten both screws during nal adjustment.
Turn the reel blades until the front edge of the cutter bar blade is
polished.
NOTE: Use industrial or valve lapping compound between 100 and
240 grit. Lubricate the axle and pinion with a light film of wheel
bearing grease.
You can use the grass catcher to collect clippings while you are
operating the mower.

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.
Reel 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 lube cutting edges with light spray oil.
Note: Reel mowers have a difficult time with tall weeds such as
dandelions which most times will cause the weeds to bend and not cut
– cut your lawn often to prevent this.

commencer à assembler la machine. Lisez, comprenez, et suivez toutes
les directives situées sur la machine et dans le manuel avant toute
opération. Conservez ce manuel dans un endroit sûr pour pouvoir s’y référer
régulièrement, dans le futur, et pour remplacer des pièces.
Soyez entièrement familier avec les caractéristiques de cette machine avant
de l’utiliser.
Cette machine est un outil de jardinage, pas un jouet. Par conséquent, prenez
des précautions extrêmes en tout temps. Cette machine a été conçue pour
tondre la pelouse uniquement. Ne pas en faire un autre usage.
Aucun enfant âgé de moins de dix ans ne peut utiliser cette machine. Les enfants
âgés de 10 ans et plus sont en mesure de lire et comprendre les instructions ainsi
que d’utiliser de manière sécuritaire la machine conformément au manuel mais ils
doivent être entraînés et encadrés par un adulte.
Seules les personnes qui sont responsables et familières avec ces règles
d’utilisation doivent être autorisées à utiliser cette machine.
Inspectez soigneusement tous les secteurs où l’équipement va être utilisé. Retirez
toutes pierres, bâtons, ls métalliques, os, jouets et autres objets étrangers.
An d’éviter le contact avec une lame, restez dans la zone d’utilisation située
derrière la barre et gardez éloignés de la tondeuse les enfants, les passants,
les assistants, et les animaux de la machine en cours d’utilisation. Arrêtez la
machine si une personne entre dans l'aire de travail.
Portez des chaussures de travail à semelle robuste et des pantalons et
chandails bien ajustés. Les chandails et les pantalons qui couvrent les bras et
les jambes et des chaussures à embout d’acier sont recommandés. Ne faites
jamais fonctionner cette machine pieds nus, sandales, chaussures glissantes
ou légères (ex: en toile).
Ne pas poser les mains ou les pieds à proximité des lames rotatives. Le
contact avec des lames peuvent amputer des doigts ou des orteils.
De nombreuses blessures surviennent lorsque la tondeuse passe sur le
corps après une chute. Ne tenez pas la tombeuse si vous tombez, relâchez la
poignée immédiatement.
Soyez prudent lorsque vous tirez la machine vers l'arrière. Regardez vers le bas et l’arrière
pour ne pas trébucher. Soyez certain d’être bien équilibré et d'être en position stable.
N’utilisez pas la tondeuse sous inuence d’alcool ou de drogues.
N’utilisez jamais la tondeuse dans l'herbe mouillée. Gardez toujours une position
sûre. Une glissade et une chute peuvent causer des blessures graves.
Tondez uniquement à la lumière du jour ou sous un bon éclairage articifiel.
Marcher, ne jamais courir.
La lame de coupe peut continuer à tourner pendant quelques secondes
après l’arrêt de la tondeuse. Ne placez jamais aucune partie de votre corps
dans la zone de la lame tant que vous ne vous êtes pas assurés de l’arrêt du
fonctionnement de la lame.
Soulevez la tondeuse en utilisant des méthodes sécuritaires.
N’utilisez que des pièces et accessoires conçus par le fabricant pour cette machine.
