Assembly
Caution! This operation will have to be done whilst carefully turning the cylinder blade. We
strongly recommend that thick gardening gloves are worn. The xed blade must be set correctly in
order for the lawnmower to work efciently.
Depending on the length of grass you are cutting you may want to adjust the cutting height of the
lawnmower. This can be done by raising or lowering the cutting height roller.
To adjust the cutting height, pull the cutting height adjustment knobs on both sides away from the
mower body, and then move them forward or backward to adjust the cutting height. Make sure
knobs are in the same height at both sides.
Prepare to use cylinder mower
Fix blade setting
Adjust the cutting height
Carefully tighten the two adjusting knobs by turning them slowly in the clockwise direction. When
the cylinder blade just makes contact with the xed blade turn the rotating knobs slightly in an
anticlockwise direction until the rotating blade turns without touching the xed blade.
