Operational Safety
WARNING!
 Be certain the parts are fully tightened before operating the machine. Check it periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
 Check for damaged parts. Before further use, carefully check the tool for damage. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
condition that may affect its operation.
 Do not use the tool if any parts are damaged or defective. Have any damaged or defective parts
repaired or replaced by an authorized service agent. Never attempt any repairs yourself.
 Grip the tool securely. Operator should both hands on the main handle while operating the
tool.
 Never operate the mower in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury.
 Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never run.
 Be careful when pulling the machine backward. Look down and behind to avoid tripping. Be
sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
 Risk of cut. The cutting blade may continue to rotate for a few seconds after the mower has
stopped moving. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade
has stopped rotating.
 Keep work areas clean. Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
 Consider work area environment. Do not expose your tool to high humidity or rain. Do not use
your tool in damp and wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
 Operation on slopes requires extra caution. Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall
accidents, which can result in severe injury. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. If the
slope is greater than 15 degree, do not mow it.
 Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Be cautious caution when changing
direction on slopes.
 Watch for holes, tree roots, 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.

Operating the silent push mower
WARNING! Be sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign
objects which could damage mower or user. The operation of mower can result in
foreign objects begin thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely.
Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower.
 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 could also cause you to slip and fall.
 Never cut off more than one third of the total length of grass for a healthy lawn. In the
Autumns, lawns should only be cut as long as there is growth.
 Slowly push the mower forwards.
 Mow in slightly overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines
along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut without
missing any spots.

 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.
 Pay special attention when changing direction.
Maintenance & Repair
WARNING! Cylinder mowers have a difficult time with tall weeds such as
dandelions which most times will cause the weeds to bend and not cut – cut often
to prevent this.
Cylinder 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.
 Keep area to be mowed free from debris to avoid damage of the cutting blades.
 For best results, regularly apply lubricant to mower’s cutting surfaces, cutting reel axle shaft
and wheels.
 Turn the Cylinder blades until the front edge of the cutter bar blade is polished.
Blade clearance adjustment
WARNING!
 Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wear gloves and use extra caution when
servicing them. Any wheel rotation can cause the blade reel to rotate.
 Do not over-tighten adjustment screw as this could damage the cutter bar.
Both screws must be tight on final adjustment.
The blade reel 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 re-adjusted.
• 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.
To adjust blade clearance, proceed as follows:
1. Turn mower upside down.
2. Insert a piece of paper (thickness around 0.12mm) between cutter bar and reel blades, and slowly
turn wheel by hand.
3. All blades should slice the paper evenly, along the entire length of the cutter bar while the reel
turns smoothly.
4. If mower has an intermittent cut, adjustment should be made to the appropriate side of blades to
attain proper cutting action.

Recycling & Disposal
 Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and
packaging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
 Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landfill whenever possible. The machine
must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging and
the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of
accordingly.
 Do not throw your clippings into a rubbish bin where it will be disposed of in landfill .You can
dispose of clippings on your compost heap, alternating them with other garden material. The
more thoroughly you chop the clippings beforehand, the more rapidly they will degrade.
Alternatively, many communities provide a public collection point where you can dispose of
your garden waste in an environmentally friendly manner.
 Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery items in separate collection schemes, which cater
for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure
the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
