6. Operation

6.1. Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. 8/9)
The cutting height can be infi nitely adjusted bet-
ween a range of 15 – 42mm.
To adjust the cutting height, place the mower on a
fi rm, fl at surface. Undo the two wing nuts (D).
Lift the housing in the center until you have
achieved the required cutting height. Tighten the
two wing nuts (D) again. You can read the cutting
height off the measure on the counter blade (E).
6.2 Operation
The hand mower can cut grass up to approx. 10
cm in length. If you want your lawn to have a neat,
trimmed look to it, however, you must consistently
keep it cut down to a more manageable height.
When starting the mowing session (and when
mowing over freshly laid sod), it is advisable to
set the cutting height relatively high, then gra-
dually work your way down. For a well-groomed
look, the cutting height should be set to approx.
2.5 cm.
For optimum results, mow your lawn on a weekly
basis. Grass blades grow thicker, faster, and are
more resiliant when their stems are consistently
kept short (unless you live in very dry conditions
and do not frequently water). Always mow the
lawn when it is reasonable dry. In order to ensure
that your lawn has a clean, even look to it when
you're fi nished, mow in fairly straight paths at
walking pace. The cutting swaths should always
overlap each other by a few centimeters in order
to avoid unsightly strips of grass.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
•
Clean the machine with a brush or rag after
each use.
•
Store the equipment in a location that is dry
and not accessible by children. For storage in
less space you can remove the grass basket
and move the push bar into a vertically up-
right position (Fig. 11).
•
Keeping your lawn mower in good condition
not only ensures a long lifespan and high per-
formance, but also enables the equipment to
thoroughly cut your grass with minimal effort.
