Preparing to Operate the Cylinder Mower
Operating
WARNING!
- Always keep a firm grip on the tool with both hands and watch your feet. The blades may cause
an accident. Be careful while moving backwards –danger of tripping!
To avoid damage to the tool:
- Never lift or drag the tool with the motor running.
- When mowing, do not allow the motor to labour particularly in heavy conditions.
- When the motor labours, the speed of the motor drops and you will hear a change in the motor
sound, you should stop the mowing immediately and release the switch lever and raise the height
of cut.
1. Place the cylinder mower on the edge of the lawn.
2. Always work away from the mains socket. Make sure that the cable is kept well away from the
working area.
NOTE:
The blades may require adjustment, particularly before first use—see Adjusting the
blades.

2. Wearing gloves, carefully rotate the cutting cylinder (C) by hand to ensure it very lightly
brushes across the whole width of the bottom blade. If the blades are too difficult to turn, slightly
loosen each adjustment screw (D).
3. While the blade reel is turning, insert a sheet of paper (thickness around 0.12mm) between
the blade reel and the cutting bar. The paper should shear evenly along the entire length of the
cutter bar, as if being cut by scissors. If the paper doesn’t shear, slightly tighten each adjustment
screw(B) and repeat the test.
4. Turn the mower back over, plug it and try it. It should now be giving a clean and even cut. If
not, unplug and re-adjust screws.
From time to time during use, it is advisable to carry out the above procedure to ensure that your
cylinder mower is always cutting at its best.
