Sharpening and Balancing the Blades
(figures 21-21A)
IMPORTANT: It is important to wear protective
glasses and gloves when you manipulate the
mower blades.
1. Figure 21A: Sharpen the blades with an angle
grinder, a file or an electric grinder. It is important to
keep the A angle when you sharpen the blades. The
edge of the sharp section of the blade must be 1/64"
(0.40mm) or less.
2. BLADE BALANCING Figure 21B: After sharpening
the blades, it is important to check they are still well
balanced.
3. Clean the debris stuck to the blades that causes an
imbalance.
4. Figure 21B Clamp a nail or a rod horizontally in a
vise. Place the blade on the nail or rod. If the blade
is not balanced, the heaviest section will go down.
5. Figure 21A Grind the A section of the heavier side.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT MODIFY THE ANGLE.
6. Repeat the balancing steps until the blade stays
horizontal.
