Four different cutting heights can be set between a range of 13-37 mm. To do so, pull the springloaded bolts (A) on both sides of out and then engage them in the required holes.
It is recommended that you overlap the mowing swaths.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow.
Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid stripes.
For a well-groomed look, we recommend a grass height of 3 - 4 cm after mowing for normal home lawns and 1.5 – 2.5 cm for ornamental lawns. The use of a cylinder lawn mower can help achieve improved cutting results specifically on ornamental lawns. Mow your lawn 1 – 2 times a week. We recommend that normal home lawns should be mowed when the grass is 6 – 7 cm high, ornamental lawns when the grass is 3 - 4 cm high. Irrespective of the recommended cutting height, the lawn should only be reduced by one third of the current height each time it is mowed. Before the onset of the first frost, the lawn should be reduced to its recommended height. Only ever mow the lawn when it is as dry as possible in order to achieve perfect cutting results. To ensure that it can be cut cleanly, the grass should never be over 10 cm high. The mower has a freewheeling facility for when it is pulled back.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. Make several passes so that no more than 4cm of grass are cut at one time.
Switch off the motor before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged.
Do not use your hands or feet to remove clippings in or on the mower housing, but instead use suitable tools such as a brush or a hand broom.
Wear safety gloves.

Note:
The counter blade (L) is pre-set at the factory. Readjustment might be required after prolonged use. Only adjust it if:
Adjusting:
The adjusting nuts (M) (size 10) on both sides of the mower must be adjusted evenly such that the mower spindle (2) can only just rotate freely. The counter blade (L) is correctly adjusted if a piece of paper placed between the blades on the mower spindle (2) and the counter blade will be cut along its full length when you turn one of the wheels forwards by hand without force.
At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the lawn mower and remove any grass and dirt which may have accumulated. At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the blade. If repairs are necessary, please contact our customer service center. Use only genuine spare parts.
