complished by placing oil and emery on the cutters, and reversing the motion (see 

 Direi'tions for Use), thereby giving the knives a smooth and keen cutting edge, a-".d 

 keeping them perfectly true, without which no Lawn Mower vill cut the grass 

 clean and do good ^\oik, experiencing none of the trouble and vexation caused by 

 following the advice of manufacturers of other machines, of taking out the knives 

 and grinding them on a grindstone, resulting in spoiling the knives, and having to 

 send to the agent to buy a new one ; — as any practical person will at once see the 

 impossibi'^ty of grinding on a stone by hand and keeping the edge true. A Lawn 

 Mower ib-'- has no way of sharpening the knives, except by tailing them off and 

 grinding them on a grindstone, would be ^ source of expense and annoyance to its 

 owner and the operator of it. 



i>ire:c;ttoivs ^oii use:. 



Before using the Mower, see that the ground is free from stones or other 

 obstructions. 



The machines are sent out properly adjusted and ready for immediate use. 

 The knives should just touch lightly when passing. If too close, the Mower will 

 not work freely. ^Vhen the machine requires to be readjusted, the under cutter is 

 raised toward the revolving cutter, by slightly turning the set screws at each end 

 of the cutter bar inside the frame, one each side, with the wrench which is supplied 

 with the niachine. 



Regulate the height of cut required by the wheels in front, on either side. 

 'x'us is done by sliding the wheels up or down. 



Adjust the handle to the height of the person using the machine. 



To sharpen the cutters, place oil and fine emery 'No. 00) on the edges of the 

 knives ; raise the back end of thv^ machine and use the handle-pin as a crank, and 

 taking oT the outside cover to the gears, and placing it in the hole in the rim of 

 outside driving wheel, and tu-n forward. 



Always clean the machine after cutting wet grass. 



Always Oil the ALa.chine, especially the ratchet driving-gear, before using, 

 with g- - I spervi oil, and it will last for many years. 



When the season for use is past, clean and oil the machine, put it into the case, 

 and place it away in a dry place, ready for the next season. 



To make 2l fine, thick, velvety lawn, the grass should be cut once a week, or 

 oftencr, according to the season. 



Each part of the Mowers is numbered or lettered, and made to interchange in 

 case of breakage, and can be supplied by us, or our Agents.
