5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade
with a fine tooth file K-3 or sharpening
stone.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for
blade balancing.

BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. L)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole
in blade L-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank
L-2, clamped horizontally in a vise L-3. If either
end of the blade rotates downward, file that
end. Blade is properly balanced when neither
end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE
(See Fig. M1, M2)
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours
mowing or 2 years, which ever 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
(14) and unscrew the blade bolt (13) counter-
clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove blade.
To re-assemble, position the blade (14) with
the cutting edges towards the ground. Then
securely tighten the blade bolt (13).
STORAGE:
(See Fig. N)
Stop the mower and always remove the
safety key. Clean the exterior of the machine
thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do
not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove
all grass and debris, especially from the
ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the
blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted
in the blade area, remove with a wooden or
plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place
other objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage, release the Handle knobs, and
rotate or fold the upper handle.
