4. Intended use
The hand mower is designed for cutting grass.
It is intended for private use, i.e. for use in home and
gardening environments. Private use here refers to
the maintenance of small-scale, residential areas and
does not include public facilities, sporting halls, or
agricultural/forestry applications.
Important. Due to the high risk of bodily injury to
the user, the hand mower may not be used to cut
scaling vegetation, planted roofs, or balcony-
grown grass.
The equipment may only be used for the tasks it is
designed to handle. Any other use is deemed to be a
case of misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.

6. Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. 8)
Four different cutting heights can be set between a
range of 15 – 35 mm. To do so, pull the spring-loaded
bolts (A) on both sides of out and then engage them
in the required holes.
7. Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 9)
Note: The counter blade (B) is only be adjusted
before using the machine for the first time or if the
blades on the mower spindle are worn.
Undo the adjusting nuts (C) (10 mm) on both sides
and adjust the counter blade to the required position.
The counter blade (B) is correctly adjusted if a piece
of paper placed between the blades on the mowing
spindle and the counter blade is cut if you turn one of
the wheels forwards by hand.
8. Attaching the grass box
Attach the assembled grass box to the roller. The
grass box must also be secured to the push bar using
the belt supplied (see Fig. 1).

9. 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 gradually 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 resilient 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 finished, 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.
