To properly sharpen the cutting  blades, remove equal
amounts of metal from both ends  of the blades along the
cutting edges, parallel  to the trailing edge, at a 25°- to 30°
angle. Always grind each cutting blade  edge equally to
maintain proper blade balance.  See Fig. 7-4.
WARNING! Shut the engine off  and remove
ignition key before removing the cutting  blade(s) for
sharpening or replacement. Protect  your hands by
using heavy gloves when grasping the  blade
CAUTION: If the cutting edge  of the blade has
previously been sharpened,  or if any metal
separation is present, replace the blades  with new
ones.
WARNING! Periodically inspect  the blade and/or
spindle for cracks or damage,  especially after  you’ve
struck a foreign object.  Do not operate the machine
until  damaged components are replaced.
WARNING! A poorly balanced  blade will cause
excessive vibration, may damage to the tractor  and/
