The Hand Push Mower is designed for small to medium sized gardens and intended for
household lawn mowing use only. The product comes partly pre-assembled, only the
handle and grass collector require assembly.
Please read all instructions carefully and keep outer packaging to refer to photograph of
finished product in case of difficulty. Check all holes are clear of paint before assembly.
Please use a screw driver to clear the blocked hole if you find any blockage.
Tools required: screwdriver (not included) and spanner (included).
Assemble For Handle
To assemble the handle, find the U-shaped bar (Part 1 – Upper handle) with the open
(circular) ends and insert the two handle uprights (Part 2) into the ends. Ensure the
uprights curve outwards once inserted.
Using two sets of nuts (Part 12) and bolts (Part 11), line up the holes to enable you to
insert a bolt, all the way through both bars and fasten with nut. [Do not tighten all bolts
and nuts until all these parts are in place and below assembly completed] (See Fig.
A, B, C)
Assembly

7
Find the U-shape bar (Part 3 – Lower handle) with flattened ends with large holes. Insert the
bent end of the bar between the two protruding ends of the section just assembled.
Line up the two holes on both sides and insert a bolt (Part 10) all the way through both
bars and fasten with a nut (Part 12). Do the same with the remaining 3 sets of holes.
(See Fig. D, E)
Fix The Handle On Mower Head
Now the handle is fully assembled, and ready to be attached to the mower head. To attach
the handle to the mower head, locate the two metal lugs found forward of the cutting bar
adjustment knobs. To attach the handle, insert one of the large holes in the handle arm
over the lug, then repeat the same process with the other side. It may be required to use
some force to squeeze the two arms together to allow room for locating the second arm
over the remaining metal lug. (See Fig. F, G)
Assembly

8
Assemble For Grass Collector
1) Locate the fixing holes of grass collector (Part 9) and hang on the hooks at the back of
mower head. (See Fig. H,I)
2) Make sure the grass collector (Part 9) is securely fixed on mower head.
3) Attach the grass collector strap (Part 13) to hold the grass collector on lower handle
(Part 3). (See Fig. J)
Cutting Height Adjustments
Changing The Cutting Height
Changing the cutting height is quick, easy, and requires no tools. Simply unscrew the
height adjustment knobs on each side of the rear roller. This enables the roller assembly
to slide up or down to place the cutting bar at a different height level. Make sure the
height is the same on both sides. Re-tighten the height adjustment knobs until the roller
assembly is secured in position. (See Fig. K)
NOTE: It is essential that the height is the same on both sides of the hand lawn mower.

How To Mow
Walk at a Good, Steady Pace
With a hand lawn mower, the rotation of the wheels turns the blade reel. The mower will tend
to bind up and skid if it is moving at too slow a pace. The faster the wheels are traveling, the
faster the blade reel turns. Therefore, moving at a comfortably quick walking pace will achieve
the best results.
Overlapping Rows
When mowing a lawn, slightly overlap the row that has already been mowed. This will
make the force required to move the mower easier because less grass is being mowed at
one time. Overlapping rows will also ensure a neat cut by removing grass that may have
been missed on the previous row. (See Fig. N)
Don’t Let The Grass Get Too Tall
Hand lawn mowers are harder to push when the
grass gets too tall, therefore it is recommended
to mow on a weekly basis.
Hand Lawn Mower - Don’t Mow Tall Weed
The hand lawn mower will tend to roll over tall weeds
without cutting them. This includes tall weeds that are
more than six inches, and things like dandelions and docs.
If the designed lawn to be mowed has a significant weed infestation, enquire at your local
Bunning store how to rectify the problem, or as an alternative, rent a petrol powered mower to
gain control of the lawn. Hand lawn mowers are designed to cut lawns in responsible condition.
The Metal Guard Protects Your Garden
The metal guard does not only protect your hand and feet, but also the garden. The hand
lawn mower can be pushed right up to flowers and shrubs without damaging them. This
feature means the hand lawn mower can cut the edges of the lawn where garden plants
exist minimizing any potential damage.
Proper Usage

WARNING! KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
This product contains a functional sharp edge which may cause injury if misused. Please
take care when handling. Always wear thick gloves when handling blades or working
near blades. Please make sure blade is securely affixed on mower before used.
WARNING! It is strongly recommended the blade sharpening should be arranged by the
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Before taking the time and effort to sharpen the blades, make sure that it needs sharpening.
Most of all issues can be solved by ensuring the blades are properly adjusted.
1) Prop up the hand lawn mower so that the blade reel can be rotated by turning the wheels.
2) Check the blades for nicks and burrs. If any damage is found, it usually can be removed by
holding a file flat against the blade and pushing away from the edge.
3) Examine the cutting bar. It should just meet the blades along their entire length. (To make
sure the cutting bar is located correctly, grasp a wheel and turn it forward; you should hear
a whispery sound as the blades pass the cutting bar.)
4) If the bar is out of alignment, adjust using the adjustment knobs on the ends of the bar.
5) Using a soft paintbrush, cover the blades with a thin, even coat of automotive valve14
grinding compound (available at automotive stores).
6) Grasp a wheel and turn it slowly backward so the grinding compound is squeezed between
the blades and the cutting bar, thereby sharpening both cutting edges as they pass each
other. Be sure that each blade touches the bar as the wheel is rotated.
7) Make about a dozen turns, applying more grinding compound when necessary.
8) Examine the blade edges. If they look sharp, wash off all the valve compound with soapy
water and rinse thoroughly.
9) Test for sharpness. Insert a sheet of newspaper between the blades and the cutting bar, and
rotate the reel forward. When the blades cut the paper as easily and as cleanly as a sharp
pair of scissors would, the task is complete.
NOTE: After each use clean the mower and keep it dry Wipe all the metal parts with a thin film
of WD-40 or mineral oil.
WARNING! Sharpen blades only by hand. The heat generated by a power grinder or an electric
drill with a grinding wheel attached can destroy the temper of the metal. Wear thick leather
gloves when handling the blade reel and cutter bar and make slow, precise movements to avoid
cutting or jamming your fingers.
Sharpening The Blade

11
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the mower is in a safe working condition.
2) Replace worn or damaged parts for safety
3) Be careful during adjustments of the hand lawn mower to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving blade and fixed parts of the machine.
4) In case the hand push mower can not operate smoothly, this may be caused by excessive
grass jammed, please move the blade forward and backwards manually to remove the
jammed grass (Always wear thick gloves when handling blades or working near blades.)
5) Always keep the product clean and remove the debris from grass collector and mower head
after each use and before storage.
6) Regular and proper cleaning will help to ensure safe use and prolong the product life.
