The tools required are an 11 mm wrench or socket, a Phillips screwdriver
and a nail or smaller screwdriver.
1. Rest the mower on all four wheels. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen
the adjustment lock screws on both sides, then lift the adjustment locks
over both adjustment bolts as shown in Adjusting the Blades on page 11.

a round disc with holes in it.

Note: The movement of the stationary blade will be very slight, so watch the
adjustment closely.
6. You may initially need to move the stationary blade away from the cutting
reel by turning the blade adjustment bolts clockwise to create room for the
stationary blade to move into the proper position.
7. As you make adjustments, periodically check cutting performance as
described in Checking Cutting Performance on page 10. When most of the
blades cut paper on both ends without making contact, hold the alignment
cam
(C)
in place using the nail or small screwdriver and re-tighten the cam
locking bolt (A).
8. Replace the adjustment locks and firmly tighten the adjustment
lock screws.

Your reel mower has been designed and engineered to deliver best-in-
class cutting performance and a superior mowing experience. However,
there are several basic things you can do when mowing that will greatly
impact both your mower's performance and your mowing experience.
If you have used a reel mower before, you will immediately appreciate
the advantages offered by the mower's advanced cutting technologies
and design features. If this is your first reel mower, you will likely require
a short transition period as you adjust your mowing habits to maximize
efficiency and effectiveness. The information below will help both
experienced and new reel mower users enjoy all the benefits of the reel
mower. Also, remember that Fiskars customer service team and website
are both available to you should you need additional help.
Mowing Tips
For a healthy lawn, cut off no more than 1/3 of the grass length.
To maintain a healthy lawn and eliminate the mess created by very long grass
clippings, cut no more than 1/3 of the grass length at a time. If more than
1/3 of the length is removed, root growth will be impaired and the grass will
be stressed, making your lawn susceptible to weed invasion, disease and
poor appearance. If your grass gets too high, cut off 1/3 of the length, wait a
couple days, and then cut off another 1/3.
To prevent mower damage, clear the mowing area of debris in advance.
Before starting, inspect the area to be mowed and remove stones, medium-
sized or larger sticks, trash and other debris.
If you hit hard debris, stop and inspect the blades. If you strike a stone,
large stick or other hard object with the cutting blades, stop mowing
immediately and check for a jam or damage. If the blades are damaged,
pull the mower backward to an appropriate work area and follow the
instructions in Care and Maintenance on page 17. Continuing to mow with
damaged blades may make repair impossible.
