Where to Use Your GARDENA Cylinder Lawnmower Correct use : The GARDENA Cylinder Lawnmower has been designed for cutting lawn and grass areas of private houses. Compliance with these instructions provided by GARDENA is a prerequisite for using the cylinder lawnmower correctly. The cylinder lawnmower may not be used for cutting climbing plants or grass on roofs, due to the danger of bodily harm. Please note 2. For Your Safety Checks before each operation : Before use, an inspection is always to be performed In order to determine that all nuts, bolts and working tools are not worn down or damaged. Worn down or damaged blades are to be replaced in sets. Inspect the surface on which the lawn mower is to be used be-forehand. Stones, pieces of wood and wires as well as other solid matter are to be removed. Objects, which are contacted by the cutting tools, could be thrown out uncontrollably. 8 Proper use / Responsibility WARNING ! Take note that the rotating blade cylinder could cause injuries. V Never place your hands or feet on or under moving parts. Do not use the lawnmower while people, especially children, or animals are nearby. The operator is liable for damages. The safety distance between the blade cylinder and the operator that is created by the guiding spar is to be always maintained. When mowing embankments and slopes, special care must be taken: v Make sure you always keep a safe distance and wear shoes with a nonslip sole. Always cut diagonally to the slope. Take special care when moving backwards and when pulling the lawn mower. Danger of stumbling ! If the cutting tools or the lawnmower run into an obstruction and / or solid objects, the lawn mower should be properly and thoroughly inspected. v Only work when visibility is good. Never leave the lawnmower unattended. If your work is interrupted, store the mower in a safe place. 3. Assembly 4 1. Squeeze lower part of upright 1 together gently until it snaps into the pins b. 2.

Screw upper part of upright 4 to middle parts of upright 2 with 2 wing nuts 3. 4. Operation Mowing correctly : To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the lawn regularly once a week if possible. The lawn becomes thicker if cut frequently. Relatively long cut grass (> 1 cm) must be removed so that the lawn does not become yellow and matted. After relatively long intervals between mowing (e.g. holiday), first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height as high as possible (42 mm), then cut in the crosswise direction at the cutting height required. The blades of grass should not be more than 12 cm long if they are to be cut with a cylinder mower. If possible only cut the grass when it is dry. If the grass is damp, the cutting pattern will be uneven. 9 GB Adjusting the cutting height : The cutting height can be set to any position between 12 mm and 42 mm. 1. Stand behind the cylinder mower with one foot on the roller 5. 2. Release the two locking screws 6 and adjust to the correct height in the inspection window 7. 3. Tighten the two locking screws height. The locking screws both sides. 7 6 GB 6 on both sides to the same 6 must always be set to the same height on 6 5 The mower may only be adjusted to a depth in which the lower blade does not touch the ground when it is uneven. 5. Putting into Storage Storage : v Clean cylinder mower before storage (see 5. Maintenance) and store in a dry place. To save space the cylinder mower can be collapsed by opening up the clamping nuts. 6. Maintenance Cleaning the mower : DANGER ! Cutting mechanism can cause injuries ! V Wear suitable work gloves when undertaking maintenance. A WARNING ! Damage to cylinder lawnmower. V Never clean your cylinder lawnmower with running water, in particular with water under high pressure. Always keep the lawnmower clean and remove grass deposits. Deposits affect the cutting result as well as discharge of grass clippings. Residual dirt and grass is easily removed immediately after mowing. 1. Remove grass deposits with a brush and a cloth. 2. Oil the red cutting mechanism lightly with thin oil (e.g. sprayed oil). 7. Troubleshooting DANGER ! Cutting tool can cause injuries ! V Wear suitable work gloves when rectifying faults. 10 Fault Abnormal Noises Possible Cause Screws / components loose. Foreign bodies on the blade. Notch in the blade. Blades are striking each other too hard. Rectification v Tighten screws. v Remove foreign bodies. v Remove notches with grindstone. v Adjust cutting mechanism. v Adjust cutting mechanism. v Regrind or replace blade. v Cut lawn shorter with a sickle. Lawn is not cleanly cut Blade adjustment incorrect. Blade blunt. Grass too long (e.g. after a relatively long absence). Adjusting the cutting mechanism : The cutting gear of your lawn mower was optimally adjusted before leaving our company. If, after longer use, a clean cut of the grass is no longer possible or the blade roller contacts the lower blade, then the lower blade should be adjusted as follows: 1. Unhook upright and clean cylinder mower. 2. Check cylinder 9 and lower blade 0 for notches and remove these with a grindstone if necessary. 9 8 A 0 3. Unscrew internal hexagon screws A with an internal hexagon wrench (5 mm) anticlockwise until the cylinder 0 turns freely. 4. Push the feeler gauge supplied (thin strip of metal) 8 between one blade 9 on the cylinder and the lower blade 5. Tighten left internal hexagon screw A with an internal hexagon wrench (5 mm) until the feeler gauge 8 is held gently. 6. Continue turning the cylinder until the blade 9, already adjusted on the left side, is exactly above the lower blade on the right side. 0. 0 7. Tighten the right internal hexagon screw A with an internal hexagon wrench (5 mm) until the feeler gauge 8 is held gently. 8. Rotate cylinder 9. If a banging noise is produced during this, open up the internal hexagon screw A slightly on the side affected. When the cylinder and the lower blade can hardly be heard touching each other, the cutting mechanism has been adjusted correctly. 9. Cutting test : Place a strip of paper B in such a way on the lower blade that it points towards the spindle of the cylinder 9. 10. Turn cylinder 9 carefully. If the lower blade is set correctly as if with scissors. 9 B 0 0 0 the paper will be cut off 9. 11. Repeat the cutting test on the other blades 11 GB Regrinding / repairs : A On safety grounds, only original GARDENA spares may be used. Please contact GARDENA Service if it is necessary to replace the cutting tool, which will only become blunt after several years use if well-maintained. Repairs to the cylinder mower and the installation of the blades can be undertaken by suitable specialist workshops. Have the cylinder mower checked over in the autumn if possible so that it is ready for use immediately when the next lawn-mowing season starts.
