Possible Causes

Cutting height set too low, Blades dull or damaged, Uneven lawn surface, Cutting disc not level due to worn mount

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and wear gloves before touching blades.

  • Adjust height: Increase the cutting height setting to a more moderate level and observe the result over several days.
  • Replace blades: Fit a full set of new Flymo blades, ensuring they are all the same type and correctly tightened.
  • Check disc level: With the mower on a flat surface, visually inspect that the cutting disc sits level. Excessive tilt may indicate a worn or damaged mount.
  • Improve lawn surface: Top‑dress and level any severe dips or humps that cause scalping.
