TO EXAMINE THE BLADE
WARNING: ALWAYS stop the engine before you do work on the blade. The
blade continues to rotate after the throttle has been released. Make sure
that the blade is fully stopped and disconnect the spark plug cap before you
start work.
CAUTION: For best results, keep the blade sharpened. Replace damaged
blades immediately. DO NOT use a mower with damaged blades.
• Examine the blade for cracks and other damage. A damaged blade must always be
replaced.
• Always make sure that the blade is correctly ground and balanced. To examine
blade balance, use a 7/8" (22 mm) diameter steel bolt, pin or a cone balancer. Obey
the instructions included with the balancer.
• DO NOT use a nail to balance the blade. The lobes of the centre hole are not cen-
tred.
• Move the blade onto an unthreaded part of
the steel bolt or pin, and hold the bolt or pin
parallel to the ground. If the blade is balanced,
it stays in the horizontal position.
If one of the two ends of the blade moves down,
sharpen the heavy end until the blade is cor-
rectly balanced.
NOTE: The blades must be balanced after
sharpening. DO NOT sharpen or balance the
blade on your own. Speak to an approved ser-
vice workshop.
TO REPLACE THE BLADE
WARNING: Use gloves and/or wind the blade with a heavy cloth to prevent
injury to your hands.
CAUTION: Only use a replacement blade from an approved manufacturer.
Using a blade not approved by the manufacturer is dangerous and can cause
damage to the product and void the warranty.
1. Always disconnect the spark plug before you do maintenance.
2. Always empty the fuel tank before you put the product on its side. Empty the fuel
tank by operating the machine until the tank is empty.
