to mower. Carry out any necessary maintenance or
repairs before operating mower. If the mower should
happen to fail despite regular maintenance, please call
our customer helpline for advice.
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING,
SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE
THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season
is usually sufficient under normal circumstances.
Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn
has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be
required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade,
removing equal amounts of material from both ends.
NOTE: 1. Be sure the mower is turned off and remove
the key.
2. Place the mower in stand up storage mode.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (SEE Fig. M)
1. Be sure the switch lever is released, the blade
has stopped and the safety key removed before
removing the blade.
2. Remove blade from mower. See instructions for
removing and attaching blade.
3. Secure blade M-1 in a vise M-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to cut
yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a
fine tooth file M-3 or sharpening stone.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for blade
balancing.
7 . Replace blade on mower and tighten securely.
Refer to instructions below.
BLADE BALANCING (SEE Fig. N)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade
N-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank N-2, clamped
horizontally in a vise N-3. If either end of the blade
rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly
balanced when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. O1, O2)
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2
years, whichever is the sooner-regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the
blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and
a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the blade.
Hold the blade (19) and unscrew the blade bolt (18)
counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove blade.
To re-assemble, position the blade (19) with the
cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely
tighten the blade bolt (18).

If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area,
remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
