Hello all, this is my first post here and i was wondering if anyone has
had the
use of one of these machines? I bought mine just before last
christmas from B&Q
when i thought i bought a bargain as it was 100 down
from list price.After using
it a few times i realised why they were
being sold cheap,The handle adjuster is
just a joke.Worst i have ever
come across.It consists of a pair of series of
plastic teeth one on
each side of the mower which bite into each other and
supposedly hold
the handle firm whilst threaded rod connecting the two and with
a handle
on each end is meant to tighten the whole thing.What a laugh! i have
it
as tight as i can get it and still the handle drops as i try to lever
the
front of the machine up in order to get onto higher ground,I wonder
if anyone
else had ever used these and whether they found an answer tht
so far has eluded
me. For those who havent, my advice is stay well cler
of them
