If the blades are touching: (from test on page 12)

If the helical cutting blades are touching

the stationary blade, first check for any

damage or dents on both the helical cutting blades and the stationary blade. If any

dents are found, turn to page 16 for instructions on repairing dents. If there is no

visible damage, then begin with step 1 below to loosen the Adjustment Bolts to

separate the blades.

If the blades are not touching: (from test on page 14)

If the helical cutting blades are not

touching the stationary blade anywhere, you can

tighten the Adjustment Bolts to adjust the gap between them for optimal cutting

performance. Begin with step 1 below.

Adjusting the Blades

WARNING: The mower blades are sharp! Wear gloves for this procedure,

and keep fingers away from the interface between the helical cutting blades

and stationary blade.

① Ensure mower is in up-side-down position as described on page 12.

② There are two adjustment bolts on the sides of the mower that control the

spacing between the helical cutting blades and the stationary blade. See figure

on the right. They can be tightened or loosened using the 5mm hex key (allen

wrench) included with your mower.

③ Adjusting the Adjustment Bolts is a very sensitive procedure, 1/24th of a turn is

considered a major adjustment. Start adjusting very slightly on the appropriate

side. Tightening the bolt (clockwise) moves the blades closer together and

loosening (counter-clockwise) separates the blades further apart.

② If the blades are making contact, loosen the adjustment bolts while rotating the

helical cutting blades stopping as soon as the blades lose contact. Go to the

Checking Cutting Performance - Paper Test on page 14.

③ When properly adjusted the helical cutting blades and the stationary blade

should be just short of making contact
