2. Proper operation

The hand mower is designed for cutting grass.
It is intended for private use, i.e. for use in home and
private 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.
Caution! Due to the high risk of bodily injury to
the user, the hand mower may not be used to cut
climbing vegetation, lawns on roofs or grass in
balcony boxes.
3. Assembly
The V-shaped chassis bar (Figure 1, Item 1) must be
firmly affixed to the mounting bolts (Figure 1, Item 2)
on the housing. To do this, lightly press the V-shaped
chassis bar inward.
Then attach the push handle using the supplied
mounting parts as shown in Figure 2.

4. Setting the cutting height

To set the cutting height, first place the mower on
firm and even ground. Slacken the bolts (Figure 3,
Item 1) on both sides of the mower. The cutting
height can be infinitely adjusted by moving the
position of the roller up or down (Figure 4). After
adjustment, the roller must be parallel to the lower
knife blade. To lock the new setting of the roller,
tighten the two bolts (Figure 3/Item 1).
5. Setting the cutting unit
Ensure that the lower knife blade is correctly set prior
to use. The lower knife blade is adjusted by
slackening the adjustment bolts (Figure 3/Item 2) and
setting the desired position with the wheel selector
(Figure 3/Item 3). The lower blade should be set in
such a way that the knife cage just barely touches it.
The setting is correct if a piece of paper fed between
the knife spindle and the lower blade is cut (Figure 5)
while you rotate the spindle by hand.
