mower mechanism (07, 08)", page 20).

8.3 DISMANTLING , SHARPENING AND BALANCING THE BLADE
Check that the blade is sharpened properly and firmly fixed to the bracket.
A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
A loose blade causes unusual vibrations and can be dangerous.
WARNING!
All operations on the blade (dismantling, sharpening, balancing, remounting and/or replacing)
a certain familiarity and special tools. For safety reasons, go to a specialized centre if
the right tools or experience.
To remove the blade, hold it firmly wearing
strong gloves and undo the central screw (1).
Sharpen the two cutting edges using a medium
grade grinding wheel and check the balance by
holding the blade up with a round Ø20 mm bar
inserted in the central hole.
To ensure that it works properly without
unusual vibrations any imbalance
between the two parts of the blade must
be below one gram.
WARNING!
Always replace the dam-aged or bent blade; never
try to repair it!
ALWAYS USE MANUFACTURER'S GENUINE
