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 beforehand. Stones, pieces of
wood and wires as well as other solid matter
must be removed.

Objects, which are contacted by the cutting
tools, could be thrown out uncontrollably or
damage the cutting mechanism.

Proper use / Responsibility :

DANGER !
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 directly
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:

Make sure you always keep a safe distance
and wear shoes with a nonslip sole and long
trousers.
Always cut diagonally to the slope.

v Do not mow on excessively steep

gradients.

Take special care when moving backwards
and when pulling the lawn mower. Danger
of stumbling!

Should you hit an obstruction when working,
remove the obstruction, check the mower for
any damage and have it repaired if necessary.

v Only work when visibility is good.
Never leave the lawnmower unattended.

If your work is interrupted, store the mower
in a safe place.

4. Function

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, then cut in the crosswise direction at the cutting height
required.

Wherever possible, only mow dry lawns. Damp lawns may lead
to uneven cutting.

With very dense grass, we recommend thatching the lawn. For
example with the GARDENA Lawn Aerator art. 4068.

5. Operation

The cutting height can be set to any position between 12 mm and
56 mm (0,5”-2,2”).

1. Slacken the two locking screws

9

and set to the height

required on the scaleB.

2. Tighten the two locking screws

9

on both sides to the same

height.

The locking screws

9

must always be set to the same height

on both sides.

The mower may only be adjusted to a depth in which the lower
blade does not touch the ground when it is uneven.

v Fit the Grass Catcher art. 964.90.10

-

30 in accordance with

the instructions for the Grass Catcher and hook onto the Hand
Cylinder Lawnmower.

6. Putting into storage

The storage location must be inaccessible to children.

1. Clean mower before storage.

2. Store mower in a dry place.

To save space the upper part of the upright can be folded up by
removing the wing nuts.

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 low viscosity oil
(e.g. sprayed oil).

The cutting gear of your cylinder 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. Clean cylinder mower.

2. Check the cylinder

C

and lower bladeDfor notches and

remove these if necessary with a grinding stone.

3. Unscrew the hexagonal nuts

E

anticlockwise (e.g. with an
SW 10 mm hexagonal wrench) until the cylinderCturns
freely.

4. Turn the hexagonal nut

E

clockwise alternately left and

right gradually until the cylinderCand the lower blade

D

can hardly be heard touching each other.

5. Cutting test :
Place a strip of paper

F

on the lower bladeDin such a way

that it points towards the spindle of the cylinderC.

6. Turn cylinder

C

carefully.

f the lower bladeDis adjusted properly the paper will be cut
off as if with scissors.

7. Repeat the cutting test on the other blades C.

8. If the mower only cuts in the middle, each blade

C

must be

adjusted separately.

On safety grounds, only original GARDENA spares

A

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.

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.
