Correct use:
The GARDENA Cylinder Lawnmower has been designed for cutting lawn
and grass areas of private houses.
Compliance with these operating instructions provided by GARDENA is
a prerequisite for using the cylinder lawnmower correctly.
Please note: The cylinder lawnmower may not be used for cutting
climbing plants or grass on roofs, due to the danger of bodily harm.
1. Safety Instructions
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 are to be
removed.
Objects, which are contacted by the cutting tools, could be thrown out
uncontrollably.
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
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.
Warning! Keep toddlers away when you assemble the unit. Small parts
can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the polybag can suffocate
toddlers.

3. Operation
Mowing correctly:
To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the lawn regu-
larly 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.
Adjusting the cutting height [ Fig. O1 / O2 ]:
The cutting height can be set to any position from 12 mm to 42 mm in
4 steps.

CAUTION! The mower may only be adjusted to a depth in which
the lower blade does not touch the ground when it is uneven.
4. Storage
To put into storage:
v Clean cylinder mower before storage (see 5. Maintenance) and store
in a dry place.
To save space, the upright can be collapsed by opening up the clamping
nuts.
5. Maintenance
Cleaning the mower:
DANGER!
Cutting mechanism can cause injuries!
v Wear suitable work gloves when undertaking maintenance.
CAUTION!
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 blade cylinder and the lower blade with thin oil (e. g. sprayed oil).
6. Troubleshooting
DANGER!
Cutting mechanism can cause injuries!
v Wear suitable work gloves when rectifying faults.

Adjusting the cutting mechanism [ Fig. T1 / T2 / T3 ]:
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 the cylinder mower.
2. Lay the mower onto the ground, so that it cannot fall over when
adjusting the cutting mechanism.
3. Check cylinder q and lower blade
with a grindstone if necessary.
4. Unscrew the left and right hexagon screws
