60" is too long. Is there a way to adjust the height? If I need to cut, what's the best tool or proper way to adjust height?

The height is only adjustable by cutting. I cut about 6 inches off the bottom of mine to fit the top bunk in my trailer. It would be best to use either a hacksaw or a grinder with a cut off wheel. Just be sure to remove the rubber feet on the bottom first, cut off what you need and then put the rubber feet back on to cover the cut ends.

I took off the rubber caps at bottom and used a pipe cutter from Home Depot - just one of the little wheel cutters for copper pipe - was pretty easy. Then I put the rubber caps back on an you cannot tell I did anything.

We adjusted the height on ours with a simple hacksaw. Worked fine and the ladder is very useful. There were directions on exactly how and where to cut it to shorten it.

I was baffled too when my first attempt to adjust it was made (largely because I refused to refer to the manual.) It turned out to be the easiest mower I've ever had to adjust. Standing behind the mower, looking towards the front, there is an orange lever on the right that when squeezed will produce an upward height adjustment. To get it lowered again or to find the preferred height setting, while squeezing the aforementioned lever, apply pressure by hand at the front of it. That's all there is to it; good luck!

If necessary you can raise the entire unit 7-8 inches using leg extensions, sold separately for 10 bucks. I did this because I have high ceilings, and it worked like a charm. I really love this piece.

Take the rubber tip off the bottom and cut it to length you want. Put the rubber tip back on. I have done this for three canes --each is cut to the height I want depending on the heels of the shoes I am wearing when I use it.

We ordered tall and took to a medical supplier who cut down to exact length we needed. My husband wanted a custom fit. They were nice enough to do it for free. Hope this helps

No adjustments can be made. Would need to cut it with the right type of saw.

The door height is 80" maximum with a spring held feature that allows adjustment down to about 77-5/8". I think cutting it to make it shorter would compromise its structure. You would be better off finding a shorter door.

You just have to loosen the clamp thumbscrew and it will come off the extension and slide onto the main rail. that is the easiest way to set the height even with the bed of your saw. Just slide then up next to the saw. Too bad I can't attach a picture or I could show you.

Yes. You will need to remove the upper portion of support column and substitute the supposed extension piece. I have mine mounted in a 5'6" tall location. You will not find this modification in any Simple Human instruction. I made no permanent modification to unit. The spring will not compress enough! Don't even try!! If you start cutting it with a hack saw, you will certainly void warranty and most likely destroy the unit. Again, no permanent modification required! I still have original upper arm in case I ever want to move the location of unit. I figure this thing is going to last for years! Yes.

Agreeing with most. I actually measured. Cutting length is just under 15". Joel W must have some other model.

The maximum vertical cutting height will be approximately 10.5 to maybe 11 feet (with a six foot tall operator). Here's why: The overall length, from the rear of the engine to the tip of the saw chain is 8 feet 4 inches. When it is supported by the shoulder strap, with the strap hook at belt level and the saw tilted upward in a cutting position, the rear of the engine will be about mid thigh. It is possible to raise it up to a higher level, but probably only such that the rear of the engine will be at about waist level, because your left arm will be extended fully by this point. It is seven feet from the front of the right hand grip in front of the engine to the tip of the saw chain. But keep in mind the limiting factor is the extension of the left arm holding the front handle. The handle is moveable, but the farther away from your right hand that you can position it, the better the control and the less the fatigue. Note also that you will have to be at an angle to the branches you are cutting and not directly under them, or they will fall on you. So your reach will not be the full seven vertical feet above your right hand even if you place the left hand handle closer to the right. So again, cutting a limb 10.5 to perhaps 11 feet off the ground will be the maximum cutting height.

Yes, you adjust the cut by how far you screw the trimmer in to the press, anyway that's how I do it.It takes a effort to get it right, but once it's set to the length you want, your good to go.

Actually shortening the handle would probably be a good idea, mine came fairly long and would throw better if it was shortened, not to mention be more manageable with shorter length. And using a different wood shouldn't cause a problem either; with heavy use you'll eventually have to get a new handle anyways and its a 'primitive' tool/weapon, so whatever you do it'll likely work out.

I find the height adjustment VERY difficult to move and I am a very large strong man fyi Something must be broken on this or the manual is as bad as I believe in describing this as its just simply not fluidly doing it without me exerting extreme force. ... even then I cant seem to raise it to the top 3 levels. I can only lower it by pushing down extremely hard. Something has to be wrong here ... operator issues (machine seems to be smarter than me ) are a possibilty but ....I doubt it. Thoughts or help ?!?

No, buy a shorter one if you need less height. These are sealed units and have no method of height adjustment

there is NO height adjustments...the height is depending on the extra bar in the middle...you can opt to leave it off and it becomes a table-ish fan...(a little large unless you have a BIG table)...so its the 48" or the 20"...nothing in between...hope this is helpful...

There is a nob that When tightened keeps the saw at what ever height you need it. If you were to loosen it you could probably do a drop cut.
